High Pressure, Research At

 

 

Application Deadline
Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 6, 2010. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Applications will still be accepted for oversubscribed meetings. However, they will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.

The Gordon Conference on Research at High Pressure which began in 1955, is one of the longest running Gordon Conferences. This is due to the exciting and diverse nature of this area of research which spans areas from deep-earth geophysics and geochemistry, multi-mega-bar shock and static techniques, dense fluids and disordered solids, and novel high-pressure material structure and properties measurements and predictions. Chemistry, together with novel synthesis and the structural prediction methods for new and unique materials such as ultra-hard solids and potential high temperature superconductors, has yielded dramatic advances using pressure as a tool. All of these areas rely upon coordinated theoretical and experimental efforts which will be highlighted in this conference. Formal presentations by leading researchers and discussions will provide a strong backbone for the meeting, plus the poster session that has historically been the venue for a more free wheeling exchange of information. Participation of graduate students, postdocs, and early career faculty is strongly encouraged and will be highlighted in the Young Investigators session of invited talks that will take place on Monday.

J.C. Jamieson and A. Van Valkenburg Awards: Traditionally the attendees of this conference have honored a young scientist working in the area of high pressure or a scientist new to the field with the Alvin Van Valkenburg Award with some preference being given to those utilizing diamond anvil cell technology. A second award named after J.C. Jamieson has been given to an outstanding graduate student working in the area of high pressure research. Please send a supporting letter and CV for anyone you would like to nominate. The recipients of these awards will be given travel support and invited talks to present their work.
