IJW / Laboratory and Theory Discipline 34th
annual DPS meeting Abstract submission deadline
August 5, 2002 9 pm EDT SPECIAL LABORATORY SESSION AT FALL DPS MEETING Casinni's encounter with Saturn and the deployment of the Huygens probe to Titan will provide the most detailed view of this system to date. Proper interpretation of the data returned and the model improvements that follow from these observations will depend critically on the availability and accuracy of laboratory data for appropriate species and processes. A special session (#31) of DPS 2002 will be convened to address these laboratory needs and the current state of laboratory results as they relate to this mission. The session will open with an invited talk that provides an outline of the mission and highlights areas where laboratory measurements are needed. This overview will be followed by contributed oral presentations of relevant results from laboratory experimentalists. Contributed papers (oral or poster) in laboratory studies bearing on this or any other aspect of planetary sciences may also be designated for presentation in the usual laboratory session. If their subject matter is relevant to Casinni, papers in this latter session may be referred for inclusion in the special session. If you intend to submit an abstract to the special session (deadline August 5 via regular abstract submission process), please forward a copy to the convener using the contact information listed below. Convener: John E. Allen, Jr. SPECIAL LABORATORY SESSION
AT FALL AGU MEETING Description: The objective of this special session is to strengthen the impact of laboratory and theoretical investigations of microscopic processes of importance in the atmospheres of planets, moons, and comets. Modelers and observers are invited to identify the chemical and physical processes most in need of quantitative characterization. Laboratory/theory researchers will explain the current state of knowledge, capabilities of experimental and theoretical techniques, and areas in which investment in technique development is most needed. Conveners: Tom Slanger and
David Huestis tom.slanger@sri.com For questions, comments, or
