SPECIAL LABORATORY SESSION AT FALL DPS MEETING

Special Session (#31) on Laboratory Planetary Science

Laboratory Measurements in Support of Casinni
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.
