MGM is an informal, small meeting, usually between 30 and 50 people. Everyone in attendance is encouraged to give a presentation, and there are no set time limits. There are no abstracts, title of talks are provided at registration. MGM is a great conference for students, and while there is no financial support for students available, there is low-cost 'student housing' available at the I-House.

We will follow the traditional schedule of two days of informal talks. The order will be decided the day-of, and no abstracts need to be submitted. We do ask that you let us know if you plan to attend, just so we can get a head count. Please E-mail mgm-2009@geosci.uchicago.edu to indicate your interest in attending this year.
