CGWP Seminars - Fall 2008
The CGWP Seminars are an opportunity for a diverse collection of
participants interested in gravitational wave astronomy to communicate
on a weekly basis in a casual, informal setting. The intent of these
weekly meetings is to foster research of a truly interdisciplinary
character linking the highest caliber astrophysics, gravitational wave
physics and experimental gravitational wave detection in the pursuit
of the scientific understanding of gravity and the development of
gravitational wave observations as a tool of observational astronomy.
Groups from across the country join in this weekly phone conference
consisting of a short (approximately 30-40 minutes) presentation, with
the intent to inspire discussion for the rest of the hour. If you are
interested in participating, or would like to recommend a speaker,
