RECS 2010: July 18 - 28

Important Information

On behalf of the RECS 2010 sponsors — the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, Alstom and the Global CCS Institute — thank you for your interest in the program and we look forward to your participation. Attached is the preliminary agenda, participant list and logistical information. Feel free to call Jennifer Wilson or me with any questions or if you need assistance. Miriam Okun (RECS 2009) will be assisting me on site. Safe travels and we look forward to seeing you in Albuquerque.

Best regards,Pamela

Transportation: Please take a taxi to and from the airport to the University of New Mexico (UNM) and submit your ground transportation costs for reimbursement. A receipt must be included in order to receive reimbursement. (Expense form attached.) BOARDING PASSES: Keep your boarding passes and submit them with your expense form. 

 

Welcome

Attire / Weather: Dress is casual (shorts and t-shirts are fine). Albuquerque weather is typically sunny and dry, with daytime temperatures averaging 90ºF and evening temperatures about 65ºF. Afternoon thunderstorms are very common. Be aware of the high elevation (5000-6000 feet), which may cause mild altitude sickness. (Please be sure to stay well hydrated.) A package of information on safety precautions, procedures and treatments on the altitude, heat, sunburn, lightening, and tick and snakebites is available for review in the classroom. FIELD ACTIVITIES: Be sure to bring closed-toe shoes or boots, long pants and a casual shirt for the field. Sunscreen and a hat or sun visor are highly recommended. Meals: Meals at UNM are at the La Pasada Dining Hall (#77 on the campus map) during the following hours: Breakfast: 6:30 - 9:00 am Lunch: 11:30 am - 1:30 pm Dinner: 5:00 - 6:30 pm You will be provided a meal card upon check-in. During the field trip, the RECS program will make arrangements for meals. Participants should cover all other food or meal options.
