All major airlines have flights into Denver International Airport (DIA). A variety of surface transportation is available from DIA to Boulder. The Regional Transportation District SkyRide (RTD city bus route "AB") is the least expensive and departs from Level 5 of DIA on an approximate hourly basis and travels to Boulder via Denver and U.S. 36. Travel time is approximately 90 minutes. The cost is $8 each way or $13 for a round-trip ticket, which must be purchased inside the Terminal at the RTD desk. Exact fare is required if paying on the bus. Tickets may be purchased at the RTD sales counter, located on Level 5. Once in Boulder, you exit at the Boulder terminal and take a taxi or city bus to your hotel. The SuperShuttle (303/444-0808) departs on an hourly basis from Level 5 of DIA and proceeds directly to Boulder, 70 minutes travel time. Tickets may be purchased at the SuperShuttle desk located near on level 5. The cost is $19-25 one-way depending on pick-up and drop-off locations, and it delivers you directly to most local hotels. Rental cars are available at the airport. We do suggest advance reservations. Boulder is located 26 miles northwest of Denver via U.S. 36. Finally, if you decide to take a taxi from the airport, be sure to agree upon the fare with the driver prior to departure from the airport. The fare to Boulder is typically $60-$70.
Parking permits can be purchased for $4 at the conference's registration desk or when registering by mail or website. This permit is only for lot 436 located east of the Engineering Center on the corner of Colorado and Regent Drive. You may park in the garage or in any open spaces in the lot with the exception of metered or numbered spaces. Vehicles that park in metered or numbered spaces will be ticketed.
In past years we have provided shuttle service between the hotels and the campus. Due to lack of use and to cut costs, we will not be providing this service this year.
Participants must make
their own housing arrangements. Blocks of rooms have been set aside at the motels
listed, and special rates have been arranged. Be sure to mention the name
of the National Radio Science Meeting in all communication with the motels.
Please make reservations as soon as possible.

Boulder's weather in January is notorious for its unpredictability and can range from snow and freezing temperatures to mild, balmy weather with temperatures near 60oF (20oC). Normally, however, the weather is sunny and rather cool (40oF or 5oC) during the month, with little snow. Participants should bring appropriate clothing.
Participants and their families may use the University's Recreation Center which includes handball and squash courts, tennis courts, swimming and diving pools, an indoor ice rink, exercise rooms, gymnasiums, and saunas for a nominal fee. Further information will be available at the meeting registration.
Starting Times of Paper Presentations
Except in the Plenary Session all regularly scheduled paper presentations will begin at twenty-minute intervals. Each paper will be allocated twenty minutes (or in rare cases 40 minutes) for introduction of the author(s), presentation, and questions. Each session will begin five minutes before the first paper is scheduled to allow time for introductory remarks and announcements by the session chairmen. Adherence to the above starting times will allow interested persons to move from one session to another to hear desired presentations.
Refreshments will be available from 1000 to 1040 during mornings and from 1500 to 1540 during afternoons in the Engineering Center Main Lobby.
