*********************************************************************************
Dear Colleagues,

CSIRO-ATNF will be hosting a small two-day science workshop at
Marsfield, NSW 3 & 4 December 2009 entitled:

"DIFFUSE GAS IN AND AROUND THE MILKY WAY"

This workshop is designed to bring together researchers working on
atomic and ionised gas associated with the Milky Way and Magellanic
system.  The workshop will highlight new data from the Parkes Galactic
All-Sky Survey (GASS) of HI emission, the WHAM-South survey of H-alpha
emission and Arecibo's GALFA survey of Galactic HI.  This will also be
an excellent opportunity to discuss what we hope to learn with future
ASKAP surveys.

The workshop will focus on the topics of disk-halo interaction, High
Velocity Clouds, the Magellanic system, Galactic corona, and Milky Way
dynamics.

Invited speakers include:
* John Dickey (U Tasmania)
* Jay Lockman (NRAO-Greenbank, USA)
* Greg Madsen (U Sydney)
* Naomi McClure-Griffiths (CSIRO-ATNF)
* Mary Putman (Columbia University, USA)
* Snezana Stanimirovic (University of Wisconsin, USA)
* Tobias Westmeier (CSIRO-ATNF)
