ADVANCING NEW MADRID REGION 

TIME-HISTORY DETERMINATION 

A Shlemon Specialty Conference

Memphis, TN, June 3 - 5, 2009

 

There is still an opportunity to attend the Central U.S. Time History Conference.

Rooms are still available also.  

 

            The objective of the conference is to raise the state of practice and extend the confident use of time histories.  Noted researchers (as invited speakers) and those who create and/or use time histories (as presenters) will discuss elements and methodologies for determining and using time histories.  The conference will also be concerned with the precision and accuracy of the methodologies and what added information would lead to the greatest reduction in uncertainty.  Certificates for twelve Professional Development Hours will be provided.  

           The website for registration is         http://aegweb.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageID=4633 

           The website for the hotel is            http://aegweb.org/files/public/web-site-hotel-info[1].pdf
