CIDER Announcements

Major disruptions due to COVID-19 have had an unsurprising impact on current and planned CIDER Summer Programs. A previously planned Program on the theme ‘Earth’s evolution as an inhabited world’ has been deferred to the summer of 2022.

A second funded program on ‘Fluid and magma transport at plate boundaries’ has been delayed to the summer of 2023. We look forward to holding these programs as improving conditions make it safe to do so. We expect to have more details on these programs posted on the website by August, 2021.
