Dear Colleagues,
The 2009 Geological Society of America Annual Meeting will be held in Portland, Oregon, October 18-21, with the heading "From Volcanoes to Vineyards: Living with Dynamic Landscapes". ABSTRACTS ARE DUE ON AUGUST 11. Please consider submitting to one of these sessions relating to terrestrial and planetary volcanology.
Thanks.

T91. Eruptive Deposits as Keys to Understanding Volcanic Systems on Planetary Bodies
GSA Planetary Geology Division
Nicholas Lang, David Williams
This session is geared towards understanding how the physical properties of volcanic landforms and deposits (composition, morphology, age, and distribution-can be used to constrain magmatic processes (magma generation, movement, and storage-on all planetary bodies.

T90. Cryovolcanism in the Solar System
GSA Planetary Geology Division
Louise Prockter, A. Dominic Fortes
We encourage papers that advance our knowledge of cryovolcanic processes in the solar system, including studies of composition, rheology, morphology, stratigraphy, and thermal and dynamical modeling of surface features and plumes.

T96. Volcanic Caves: Geological and Microbiological Terrestrial Analogs of Potential Extraterrestrial Conditions
GSA Planetary Geology Division; GSA Geobiology & Geomicrobiology Division; National Cave and Karst Research Institute; NASA
George Veni, Carlton C. Allen
Volcanic caves provide unique insights into the origin of volcanic terrains and their extraterrestrial counterparts. Accurate interpretation is crucial as they are considered for possible human habitation and as potential optimal environments for microbial life.

T113. Using Planetary Examples to Teach about Terrestrial Volcanoes
GSA Planetary Geology Division; GSA Geoscience Education Division; On the Cutting Edge Leadership Development in the Geosciences (an NSF-funded program)
Jayne C. Aubele, Barbara Tewksbury
We encourage abstracts that review and provide ways of integrating volcanoes from other planets into geosciences courses to enhance students' understanding of terrestrial geology and allow students to expand their skills to multiple planetary environments.
