Tom Metcalf SPD Travel Fund

In consultation with Tom Metcalf's family, the Solar Physics Division (SPD) has established the Thomas Metcalf SPD Travel Fund to help support newer members' expenses for attending meetings relevant to solar physics.

The 2008 SPD Meeting

Joint meeting with the American Geophysical Union

May 27 - 30, 2008
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Special events include the Hale and Harvey Prize Lectures given by Hugh Hudson and Mark Linton, respectively, and a half-day session honoring Gene Parker’s fundamental contributions to solar and heliospheric physics, in particular his prediction 50 years ago of the solar wind. There will be an evening social event with our friends in the Space Physics and Aeronomy Section of the AGU.

Abstracts should be submitted electronically at the AGU abstract submission page before the March 5 deadline. For most SPD abstracts, the appropriate session is SP01 (Solar Physics Division-AAS General Contributions). A program will be built from these abstracts after they are received. In some cases, an abstract is better suited to one of the SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics special sessions. Please note, session SH01 (SPA-Solar and Heliospheric Physics General Contributions) is probably not appropriate.
