Advances in Marine Geosciences: A Session in Honor of Donald F. Heinrichs

Donald Heinrichs is retiring from the National Science Foundation after nearly 30 years of service to the oceanographic community. The objective of the special session is to recognize Don's distinguished career and commitment to advancing scientific research. This will be done through a mix of invited and contributed papers highlighting recent advances in the marine geosciences that Don has helped to foster. The session is under the Oceanography Session and is listed at OS12. We hope you can attend this very special event.

There will be a special session at the meeting entitled "Deep Biospheres: Where and How?" focussing on LExEn. Mike Purdy, from NSF, and Mike Meyers, from NASA, will be the co-conveners for this session. Along with the invited speakers, there will be an open poster session.
