The Colorado School of Mines, the University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory welcome the American Physical Society to Denver for the March Meeting. A special Open House will be held on the Colorado School of Mines campus in Golden on Sunday, March 4, 2007, to introduce attendees to the energy research and physics education activities currently being conducted in Colorado. The three research universities, together with NREL, have created a formal collaboration, known as the Colorado Renewable Energy Collaboratory, designed to coordinate interdisciplinary research and education related to renewable and alternative energy. The Collaboratory is pleased to host |

For APS Meeting attendees who register for the Open House, buses will depart from the Denver Convention Center starting at 4:30 PM. For other Open House registrants, parking will be available. Upon arrival at the Colorado School of Mines campus, guests will have the opportunity to visit several research facilities at CSM, including the Colorado Fuel Cell Center, a characterization laboratory for Colorado Energy Research Institute, and a femtosecond spectroscopy laser laboratory of particular interest to members of DAMOP. Attendees may also visit the state-of-the-art Physics Learning Studio and discuss the activities of the Physics Education Research Group from the University of Colorado, which is the largest such entity in the nation. Light refreshments will be served. Following the laboratory visits, attendees are invited to a public lecture presented by Dr. Franklin M. (Lynn) Orr, Jr. , Director of the Global Climate and Energy Project at Stanford University. Dr. Orr’s presentation will be entitled “Energy, CO2, and Global Change: Technology Research for a Greenhouse World.” Refreshments will be served following Dr. Orr’s presentation. For APS Meeting attendees, buses will be available between 6:00 and 9:00 PM to return attendees to the Convention Center.
