Turbulence-Assisted Planetary Growth

We, at the Uppsala Astronomical Observatory, Uppsala University, are organizing a one-day workshop on the topic of accretion disk turbulence and planet formation. The workshop is in association with the PhD thesis defence of Wladimir Lyra.

Here you can find some practical information on how to find Ångström, as well as a map with useful information for guests.
