The first Multi-Anvil Workshop was held at Advanced Photon Source, Argonne, National Laboratory on March 1 - 3, 2005. This workshop was jointly sponsored by COMPRES (Multi-Anvil Project) and the GeoSoilEnviroCARS (Univ. Chicago).  About 30 participants attended the workshop, some came all the way from Europe. This web page summarizes the activities during the workshop.
