Geodynamics Branch Members Contribute to Fall AGU Meeting

Papers, Press Conferences and Editorships Highlight Involvement in Annual Meeting

2004 AGU Conference logo Nine members of the Geodynamics Branch gave presentations at the Fall American Geophysical Union Meeting in San Francisco, on topics ranging from geomagnetism to glaciers, from secular accelerations to education. One member of the Branch began an assignment as one of three new editors for Journal of Geophysical Research (Solid Earth).

The Geodynamics Branch was well-represented at the Fall AGU Meeting, with nine first-authored presentations in addition to many co-author contributions. Titles of the first-authored presentations are given below:

Bruce G Bills: Improved Estimate of Phobos Secular Acceleration from MOLA Observations

Friedemann Freund: How well do we understand the dissolution of water in minerals?

David J Harding: ICESat Observations of Inland Surface Water Stage, Slope, and Extent: a new Method for Hydrologic Monitoring

Hyung Rae Kim: Crustal Magnetization Model of Maud Rise in the Southwest Indian Ocean

Michael Purucker: Recognizing the longest wavelength lithospheric magnetic signals obscured by overlap with the core field

Terence J Sabaka: Examining Geomagnetic Jerks Using Comprehensive Magnetic Field Models

Jeanne Sauber: Southern Alaska Glaciers: Spatial and Temporal Variations in Ice Volume

Stephanie Stockman: Comparing the Earth and its Neighbors: Examples from Earth and Space Science Education Projects

Coerte V Voorhies: A Geomagnetic Estimate of Mean Paleo-intensity

Picture of Patrick Taylor Pat Taylor, who has extensive experience as a multi-term AGU Associate Editor, was named as one of three new editors for the AGU Journal of Geophysical Research (Solid Earth). His term runs for three years, beginning January 2005.
