make toward meeting the nation’s energy needs in environmentally
friendly ways. The workshop will feature plenary talks by leaders
in the field of energy research with lots of time for discussion, a

research, and a late afternoon informal reception.
This workshop is aimed at showing physics graduate students
and post-docs how they can contribute to environmental solutions
while doing exciting scientific research. We hope to attract young
physicists who are concerned about the environment and who
would like to find ways to use their scientific and quantitative skills
to help meet the environmental challenges that the world faces.
