Herb Frey gave “Large Diameter Visible and Buried Basins on Mars:
Implications for Age of Highlands and (Buried) Lowlands and Turn- Off of the
Global Magnetic Field” in Mars Geophysics and Tectonics, which he co-chaired.
In the Mars Geologic Mapping posters Frey and others (E. Frey, K. Tanaka, W.
Hartmann) showed “Evidence for Buried “Pre-Noachian” Crust Pre-Dating the
Oldest Observed Surface Units on Mars”.

Susan Sakimoto did not attend, but her paper with co-authors Gregg, Hughes
and Chadwick on “Martian Plains Volcanism in Syria Planum and Tempe Mareotis
as Analogs to the Eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho: Similarities and Possible
Petrologic Contri- butions to Topography” in the Mars Volcanism session was
presented by her co-author Tracy Gregg. Sakimoto was also a co-author on two
papers, one by Chase “Thermal Modeling of Permafrost Melt by Overlying Lava
Flows with Applications to Flow-Associated Outflow Channel Volumes in the
Cerberus Plains, Mars” and one by Polit with Mitchell and Grosfils on
“Geometric Properties of Possible Volcanoes in the South Polar region, Mars”
as well as the Keller paper above.
