We held a short presentation style workshop, with the following list of speakers, Joe Grebowsky, Bill Bristow, James Boulter, Diego Janches, Lars Dyrud, Meers Openheim, Patrick Roddy, John Sahr, and Stan Briczinski. The speakers and the topics discussed reflected the multi-disciplinary nature of this field. Topics included the meteor deposition of metal layers, and whether meteor ablation or subsequent transport is responsible for altitude stratification of species such as Mg and Fe. Subjects as varied as laboratory experiments of chemistry of meteoric dust, modeling of long duration meteor trails, and new observations from SuperDarn, South Pole, Arecibo, and passive radar near Seattle, all demonstrated the growing interest by the community in the effects and understanding of meteors and the mesopause. Finally, the convenors, Diego Janches and Lars Dyrud would like to thank everyone that took part and attended this years workshop.
