2010 Meeting of the Americas Session Proposals
Members of the Earth and space sciences community are invited to propose a session for the 2010 Meeting of the Americas. You may submit a session proposal to any of the existing disciplines. Session proposals must focus on scientific results and/or their applications. The Program Committee will decline proposals that are considered to be a tribute, celebratory, or have a focus other than scientific results.
Session proposals may be edited, modified, or combined at the suggestion or request of a Program Committee member, and with appropriate discussion with the convener. The Program Committee will consider proposals in January after which conveners will be notified of the status. Note: An approved proposal is not guaranteed an oral session.
