a new appointment for the second term of focus group
activities. Elliots' duties include reporting to the EC on
ongoing student activities in near surface geophysics,
emerging student opportunities in near surface geophysics,
organizing social events for annual meetings, brainstorming
on how the NS Focus Group can best represent/serve its
student members, and brainstorming on how to help NS
increase its student membership. Most importantly, Elliot
provides a voice for students of near surface geophysics
within the focus group. Students are strongly encouraged to

Do You Want to Organize a
Chapman Conference? If so, please contact the current NS
Focus Group Chair Rosemary Knight rknight@stanford.edu. AGU
has set the nominal goal of having one Chapman Conference
per year for each Section, as part of the mission of AGU.
They therefore invite each Section or Focus Group to
identify possible conference topics, and scientists that
might be interested to propose and organize a Chapman
Conference relevant to their section. See the AGU web site
for more information about Chapman Conferences at
http://www.agu.org/meetings/chapman.html
