********************** Second Announcement *******************************

    The Life Cycle of Dust in the Universe:
    Observations, Theory, and Laboratory Experiments

    November 18-22, 2013, Taipei, Taiwan

    http://events.asiaa.sinica.edu.tw/meeting/20131118/

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PARTICIPANTS FROM CHINA:

Participants from the PRC interested in participating in the meeting, should note that it takes 3 to 4 months in total to apply for a travel permit. Please contact the LOC before July 18, 2013 at lcod2013@asiaa.sinica.edu.tw

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

OBJECTIVES:

This meeting aims to address the life cycle of dust in the Universe, which covers the formation, evolution and destruction of dust in a range of environments, ranging from the smallest to the largest scales. Bringing together observational and theoretical astrophysicists as well as meteoriticists and experimentalists will allow for a cross-disciplinary dialogue.

The meeting follows a successful tradition of astrophysical dust meetings, starting in Albany in 1972, with the latest edition "Cosmic
Dust: Near and Far" organized by Th. Henning taking place in Heidelberg in 2008.

Since that meeting, the field of dust astrophysics has made major leaps forward with the hoist of data arriving from such missions as the infrared space telescopes Spitzer, Herschel, and Stardust, the latter returning dust samples from comet Wild-2 currently being studied in the lab. The largest telescope on Earth, ALMA, has recently come online, allowing for investigations into the origin of dust in the Universe. Thus, this is an excellent time to review the status of the field of dust astrophysics in this meeting.

The meeting aims to create an environment in which all aspects of the life cycle of dust will be discussed, from an astrophysical, chemical and mineralogical perspective, and the effect on a range of environments. Observational insights, theoretical models and experimental approaches all contribute to our view of the life cycle of dust, and the meeting will address new developments and future projects in all these areas.

EXCURSIONS:

Through a local tour agency, we will offer two excursions, which can be booked separately from the conference registration.

On Wednesday afternoon (20 November), we will visit the famous eroded coast of Yeliu with its beautiful rock formations, followed by a visit to the night market of Keelung.

On the weekend after the conference (23 & 24 November), a two-day trip to Taroko Gorge will be offered. This scenic canyon on Taiwan's east coast is definitely worth a visit!

The registration for these excursions will open around 1 August, and close by the end of September. More information will appear on the conference website in due course.

ISOTOPE WORKSHOP & NANOSIMS INAUGURATION:

After the conference on "The Life Cycle of Dust in the Universe:
Observations, Theory and Laboratory Experiments", there will be a 2-day workshop at Academia Sinica on 25 and 26 November 2013 in honour of Typhoon Lee's 65th birthday, celebrating his contributions to the field of meteoritics and dust astrophysics. This will also be the inauguration meeting for Academia Sinica's NanoSIMS facility.

More information on this meeting will follow.
