Meeting Location and Date

The Workshop on Issues in Crater Studies and the Dating of Planetary
Surfaces will be held May 19-22, 2015, at the Johns Hopkins
University/Applied Physics Laboratory <http://www.jhuapl.edu/> in
Laurel, Maryland.

Purpose and Scope

Numerous science questions exist that are informed by impact crater
populations, but the plethora of new data in the past several decades
indicates we need to reexamine what the best practices are in
understanding and analyzing craters, crater populations, and how they
evolve. The purpose of this conference is to improve our understanding
of the crater population and how craters are analyzed, and to better
understand the proper statistical tools when using craters as tracers
for various geologic, geophysical, and dynamical processes such as
deriving surface ages.

Meeting Format

The workshop will consist of plenary sessions and submitted talks over a
period of 3.5 days. There will be morning and afternoon oral sessions
organized around topical themes, with a few invited presentations. Ample
time will be reserved for questions and discussion. A poster session may
be held in the evening.
