Global auroral currents
Magnetic field data from the Iridium satellite constellation provide the first ever continuous, global measurement of electrical currents that flow between space and Earth's upper atmosphere. These currents drive the aurora and deposit up to a Terra-watt of power in the polar regions. Researchers can now measure these currents continuously in both northern and southern hemispheres, even during magnetic storms when the effects of these currents extend to highly populated areas. This research, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, breaks new ground at the intersection of science, technology and business.

Panelists:
Brian J. Anderson, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel Maryland; Colin L. Waters, University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia; Robert M. Robinson, Magnetospheric Physics Program Director, Directorate for Geosciences, National Science Foundation, Arlington, Virginia.

Volcanology in 2010
The study of volcanoes, one of the most dangerous sciences, is undergoing rapid change and will be quite different ten years from now. Panelists will discuss some of the technical advances now being developed, such as remote sensing and radar measurement of volcano deformation. Other approaches covered in the presentation include changes in K-12 education, federal interagency cooperation, and information technology. An effort is underway to create a Volcanology Science and Technology Center, which will be described.

Panelists:
Jonathan Fink, Vice Provost for Research and Professor of Geological Sciences, Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona; Howard Zebker, Professor of Geophysics, Stanford University, Stanford, California; Peter Mouginis-Mark, Professor, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, and Chief Scientist, Pacific Disaster Center, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii.

The uncertain future of Arctic ozone
Observations of large ozone losses in the Arctic last winter gave scientists a better understanding of how human-produced compounds destroy the ozone layer. This research has also unveiled factors other than chloroflurocarbons that may lead to ozone decline if certain conditions develop. Arctic ozone is expected to recover during the next century, but various factors, including greenhouse gas changes, and temperature may complicate and even prevent it. The joint SAGE III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE) and Third European Stratospheric Experiment on Ozone (THESEO 2000) obtained comprehensive measurements showing the behavior of the Arctic stratosphere and provide new information that will improve predictions on ozone levels in the future. These observations also show that chlorine levels in the stratosphere have peaked and are predicted to decrease into the next century.

Panelists:
Paul Newman, Atmospheric Physicist, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland; Mark R. Schoeberl, Physicist, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland; James Elkins, Physicist, Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Boulder, Colorado; James Anderson, Professor, Division of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Climatic impacts of volcanic eruptions
Large scale volcanic eruptions may be Earth's most likely natural global catastrophe, due to their inevitability and effect on climate. This session looks at the likelihood of worldwide loss of growing seasons following eruptions, improvements in detecting eruptions, and a major new effort to create models that describe the effect of eruptions on the atmosphere.

Panelists:
William I. Rose, Professor, Department of Geological Engineering and Sciences, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan; Hans-F. Graf, Senior Scientist, Max-Planck-Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany; Giovanni Macedonio, Professor, Osservatorio Vesuviano, Naples, Italy.

An ocean on Ganymede?
First results will be presented from the May 20 fly-by of the Galileo spacecraft past Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest in the solar system. Ganymede's neighbor, Europa, is believed to possess a subsurface ocean, and Ganymede is apparently much more "Europa-like" than previously thought. The imaging data includes stereo-derived 3-D topography. Results from Galileo's magnetometer instrument hint at a salty subsurface ocean. There is also evidence from Galileo's reflectance spectrometer that Ganymede's surface contains minerals similar to those found on Europa, where they may reflect the composition of a subsurface ocean.

Panelists:
Robert T. Pappalardo, Senior Research Associate, Department of Geological Sciences, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island; James W. Head III, Professor of Geological Sciences, Department of Geological Sciences, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island; Margaret G. Kivelson, Professor of Space Physics, Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics, Department of Earth and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles, California; Thomas B. McCord, Professor of Planetary Sciences, Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, School of Ocean and Earth Sciences and Technology, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, Hawaii; David J. Stevenson, Professor of Planetary Science, Division of Geology and Planetary Science, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California.

Paleointensity of Earth's magnetic field
During the past 10 million years, Earth's magnetic field has reversed 40 times. But perhaps even more astonishing is the fact that for 40 million years during the Cretaceous period, the field never reversed at all. Why? One line of research suggests that the field may simply have been too strong to reverse. And for just how long has Earth had a field, a question that goes to its innermost workings? New data suggest that it has been active since at least the Archean era, 2.7 billion years ago. This session will cover some of the latest research into the origins of Earth's magnetic field and describe areas of current controversy.

Panelists:
Jeremy Bloxham, Professor, Department of Earth and Planetary Science, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts; John Tarduno, Professor, Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York; Peter Selkin, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, California.

Arctic air-snow interactions: ozone depletion and more
Snow is not, as once thought, a final sink for atmospheric pollutants, but is in fact a site for active chemical reactions driven by sunlight. Recent measurements show that these reactions recycle nitrogen oxides (NOx), giving them a second chance. Nitrogen oxides are precursors to ozone formation. Surface ozone in the Arctic is depleted during sunlit periods, and it has been determined that a significant portion of this destruction may occur within the snowpack. Photochemistry within the snowpack can lead to creation of free radicals, a determinant of the atmosphere's "cleaning power," and it can also remove gaseous mercury from the atmosphere, creating a massive global sink for that element in the Arctic Ocean.

Panelists:
Paul Shepson, Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry, Department of Chemistry, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana; Jan W. Bottenheim, Senior Scientist, Air Quality Research Branch, Meteorological Service of Canada; Adjunct Professor of Atmospheric Chemistry, York University, both in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; Matthew C. Peterson, Research Scientist, Civil and Environmental Engineering Department, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, Michigan; Leonard A. Barrie, Chief Atmospheric Scientist, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Richland, Washington.

11:00 AM
Chicxulub: New clues to an ancient disaster
The Chicxulub impact crater on the coast of present day Yucatan is associated with the extinction of dinosaurs some 65 million years ago. Now, new results are available from undersea sampling of the crater, and plans will be discussed for the upcoming deep drilling of the impact crater and through a thick section of impactites, the crystalline material produced by the fusion of an impacting meteorite with local rock. It is anticipated that analyses of these rocks will help scientists quantify the environmental disaster caused by the impact.

Panelists:
Philippe Claeys, Senior Research Scientist, Mineralogy Institute, Museum of Natural History, Berlin, Germany; Names of other panelists will be provided in the Press Room.

1:00 PM
Fire in the boreal forest and its impact on climate
Fires in the boreal forest, i.e., that found at high northern latitudes, are extensive and increasing in response to recent patterns of climate warming. The decadal average for the boreal forest region has increased dramatically, from about 1.2 million hectares per year in the 1960s to 3 million hectares per year in the 1990s. Boreal forest fires are an important source of atmospheric trace gases. Smoke and gases released by fires in the boreal region are having an impact on the composition of the atmosphere. Fires have important effects on the ecology of boreal forest. They are critical in providing wildlife habitat and subsistence resources and in rejuvenating the productivity of boreal forests. However, changes in the size and severity of fire could alter the recovery of forests after fire and the effects that these forests have on regional climate.

Panelists:
F. Stuart Chapin, Professor of Biology, Institute of Arctic Biology, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Alaska; Eric S. Kasischke, Associate Professor, Department of Geography, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland; David V. (Sam) Sandberg, Team Leader, Fire and Environmental Research Applications, Pacific Northwest Research Station,. Forest Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Corvallis, Oregon.

2:00 PM
Sunken cities of the Alexandria, Egypt, coast
Earthquakes some 1,500 years ago may have sealed the fate of two long lost, but recently discovered, sunken and destroyed cities off the present day Mediterranean coast of Egypt. The ruins, under several meters of water and silt and dating to the first millennium, may have been caused by two or three large historical earthquakes and/or subsidence and liquefaction of Nile delta sediments. Outstanding questions are the location of the faults responsible for these earthquakes, the causes for the subsidence of the region, and the reasons for the shift of the Nile toward the east sometime after the disappearance of the cities.

Panelists:
Amos Nur, Professor and Chairman, Department of Geophysics, and Director, SRB Project, Stanford University, Stanford, California; Franck Goddio, European Institute of Submarine Archeology, Paris, France; Jean-Daniel Stanley, Deltas-Global Change Program, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Emanuela Guideboni, SGA Storia Geofisica Ambiente, Bologna, Italy; Jean Yoyotte, Cultural Affairs and External Relations, College de France, Paris, France. (Prof. Nur will make the opening presentation; the other panelists will respond to questions from the press.)

9:00 AM
Tropical rainfall discoveries and questions
Scientists are excited about recent data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), because understanding rainfall and its variability is crucial to understanding and predicting global weather and climate changes. Some of the new results are surprising. For example, storms over the interior of the Amazon rain forest resemble ocean storms more than typical continental storms. Also, Amazon storms differ greatly from African storms. That discovery leads to the need to emphasize the likely role of aerosols (e.g. airborne particles from biomass burning, smoke, air pollution, and desert dust) in precipitation efficiency.

Panelists:
Edward J. Zipser, TRMM Science Team Field Campaign Coordinator; Department of Meteorology, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah; Daniel Rosenfeld, TRMM Science Team; Institute of Earth Sciences, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel; Robert Adler, TRMM Project Scientist; Laboratory for Atmospheres, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland.

Predicting submarine mass failure and tsunami hazards
Prior to the 1998 tsunami in Papua New Guinea, earthquakes were believed to be the only cause of these phenomena. Now, it is understood that like the PNG event, many major tsunamis have been caused, in part or completely, by submarine landslides. Understanding these landslides is the first step toward predicting future ones and the devastating tsunamis they may trigger.

Panelists:
Philip Watts, President, Applied Fluids Engineering, Inc., Long Beach, California; David R. Tappin, Principal Research Scientist, British Geological Survey, Kingsley Dunham Centre, Keyworth, Nottingham, United Kingdom; H. Gary Greene, Research Geologist, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute; Professor of Marine Geology, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories; (both at) Moss Landing, California; Jacques Locat, Department of Geology and Geological Engineering, Laval University, Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Canada.
