Overview

G115 Auditorium, Maxwell-Dworkin Building, Harvard University

GEOS-Chem is an open-source global model of atmospheric composition used by over 70 research groups around the world for a very wide range of applications. The 5th GEOS-Chem Meeting was held at Harvard on May 2-5, 2011 to provide an opportunity for the GEOS-Chem user community to share results, address problems, initiate collaborations, set new directions for model development, and contribute to model management and vision. Much beyond that, the meeting provided a general forum for discussion of cutting-edge issues in modeling atmospheric composition.
