Welcome to Banff, Canada, home of the 8th annual Conference on Laser Ablation (COLA). The conference highlights fundamentals of laser - materials interactions and their forefront applications in pulsed laser deposition, nanoscience, analytical methods, materials, and microprocessing applications. The meeting takes place at The Banff Centre (aerial view on right), nestled amongst the Canadian Rocky Mountains in the natural beauty above the town of Banff. The town of Banff and The Banff Centre are inside Canada's most famous park, Banff National Park, one of the world's premier destination spots, spanning 6,641 square kilometers (2,564 square miles) of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows and rivers. The Banff Centre offers a unique campus learning environment with first rate accommodation and conference facilities. The Banff Centre is an incubator of creativity that inspires and empowers artists, the mountain community, and business and scientific leaders from around the world. Please join us for COLA 2005.
