The nineteenth Biennial International Conference of the APS Topical Group on Shock Compression of Condensed Matter (SCCM-2015) will be held at the Marriott Waterside Hotel & Marina, Tampa, Florida, from June 14th through June 19th 2015. This conference is an interdisciplinary forum for discussion of world-wide efforts in exploring fundamental science and applications of matter at extreme conditions including shock-induced materials behavior, plasticity, phase transitions, and chemical reactions; high strain rate phenomena; properties of energetic materials and detonation phenomena; high- pressure and high temperature synthesis and characterization of novel materials; properties of matter in the warm dense regime; and new computational methods.
The conference is set within the tropical backdrop of Tampa Bay, known for its cigars, award-winning cuisine, and the nearby award-winning beaches of Pinellas. Famous attractions include Ybor City National Historic Landmark District, the Florida Aquarium, Bush Gardens family adventure park, and the Waterfront Art District. Just a half an hour drive away, between Clearwater and St. Petersburg, are some of the top rated beaches in the world. Art and architecture attractions include famous Salvadore Dali Museum in St. Petersburg and the John & Mabel Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota. The Orlando area Theme Parks and Kennedy Space Center are within two-hour driving distance.
