The Lunar and Planetary Science Conference is the major annual meeting for this large and growing community. The Geodynamics Branch contributed a large number of oral and poster papers to this year's meeting, both as authors and co-authors. Of particular note were the many contributions by students mentored by Geodynamics personnel. Papers are listed alphabetically below. Bold indicates 921 personnel (including students who worked at Goddard). Numbers in brackets refer to program abstract CD. Companion highlight describes the student affiliations and their mentors.
