43rd Jim Isenberg Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting

Welcome

The 43rd Jim Isenberg Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting will be held at the University of Arizona in Tucson, on Friday and Saturday, March 12 and 13, 2027. The meeting is hosted by the Department of Astronomy and the Department of Physics.

In the tradition of the Pacific Coast Gravity Meetings, students and postdocs are strongly encouraged to participate, and all areas of gravitational physics — classical and quantum, theory and experiment — are welcome.

Because this is a regional meeting, many participants will be from the Western United States, but all are welcome.

The conference will take place in Room S107 of the Environment and Natural Resources 2 (ENR2) Building, 1064 E Lowell St, on the University of Arizona main campus. Directions, parking and other details will be posted on the Logistics page.

Registration form

The Pacific Coast Gravity Meeting has grown to the point where we may not be able to accommodate all requests to speak. If there are more requests than time allows, priority goes to students and postdocs based in the Western United States.

Graduate students who want to be considered for the DGRAV student talk prize should check the "I am a graduate student" box on the form. See DGRAV Prize.

Program

The meeting consists of short contributed talks with breaks for discussion. The full program will be posted after the registration deadline.
