Dear Iophiles, There
will be a special session on Io at the Spring AGU in Washington DC May
30-June 3 (see
http://www.agu.org/meetings/).
Abstracts are due March 9 (in 2 weeks). The emphasis will be on the volcanic
and tectonicprocesses and comparison to terrestrial planets. Everyone:
please forward this to anyone who might be interested. Alfred From agu.org:
P02 Io: A World of Accelerated Geologic Activity (joint with V, T) Close
flybys of Io by the Galileo spacecraft in late 1999 and February 2000
are revolutionizing our understanding of the most volcanically active
body in the Solar System. Io is a natural laboratory for studying active
volcanic, tectonic, and other processes on large scales. On the terrestrial
planets such processes must be inferred from the incomplete geologic records.
New Io observations and models will be presented along with comparisons
to the terrestrial planets. Conveners: Alfred S. McEwen, Department of
Planetary Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 USA, Tel:
+1-520-621-4573, Fax: +1-520-621-9628, E-mail: [email protected];
and Rosaly Lopes-Gautier, Jet Propulsion Lab, 4800 Oak Grove Drive, Pasadena,
CA 91109 USA, Tel: +1-818-393-4584, Fax: +1-818-393-3218, E-mail: [email protected]
A postodoctoral position
in modeling and observations of brown dwarf and extrasolar giant planet
atmospheres is available at NMSU. The successful applicant will work both
with me and on their own research. Please contact me and/or see the AAS
January job register for more information.

Positions are open
for:
MASTER STUDENTS
Ph.D. GRADUATE STUDENTS
POSTDOCS
with Yuan T. Lee
and Ralf I. Kaiser in the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (Academia
Sinica) and the Department of Physics (National Taiwan University). We
employ cutting edge crossed beams and matrix isolation techniques in the
fields of material sciences, catalyses, combustion chemistry, and physical
processes in interstellar environments and our solar system. The following
research topics are available:
1. Formation and
properties of boron and silicon bearing molecules relevant to semiconductor
industry
2. Elementary
mechanisms in 3d-group transition metal or zeolite catalyzed reactions
(e.g. ices condensed on Fe, Ni, and Co layers)
3. Reaction dynamics
in elementary processes in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbon,
boron, and silicon containing molecules
4. Formation of
polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules and soot in combustion
processes and extraterrestrial environments
5. Synthesis of
molecules in the gas phase or icy bodies in the interstellar medium
or our solar system such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto,
and especially Titan.
6. Synthesis of
unstable radical intermediates in organic and metallo organic chemistry.
7. Formation of
precursor molecules on proto Earth and extraterrestrial environments
to biomolecules like carbon hydrates, DNA, and aminoacids.
Outstanding candidates
with a high research commitment should send inquiries to Dr. Ralf I. Kaiser,
