The special session "Heat, Stress, and Climate - The Legacy of
Arthur H. Lachenbruch I: Heat Flow and Tectonics and II: Permafrost
and Climate" on Monday, December 7 will honor Art Lachenbruch's many
definitive contributions to understanding Earth's thermal budget and
their implications for active tectonics, climate change, and surface
processes. These oral sessions are followed by a poster session starting
Tuesday morning; it features about 30 contributions. See

The Arctic Institute of North America and ARCUS jointly sponsor receptions
at the Fall AGU meeting to provide a place where hundreds of people with
Arctic interests can find each other amidst the thousands at the AGU
meeting. This year's reception is also co-sponsored by the Snow, Ice and
Permafrost committee of AGU. Our theme continues to be: "Come see old
friends and meet some new ones". If you have questions contact:
