Special Sessions

Several special mini-symposia are planned for this year's meeting. Bill Kirchhoff, Department of Energy is organizing a session entitled "Spectroscopy Related to Combustion" which will cover the spectroscopy of molecules relevant to combustion processes, the application of spectroscopy to the characterization of chemical dynamics, as well as spectroscopic means to monitor the processes themselves. Invited speakers will include: Phil Paul, Sandia National Labs; Marsha Lester, University of Pennsylvania; and Ronald Hanson, Stanford University. A second mini-symposium is being organized by Eric Herbst, Ohio State University, on the subject of "Spectroscopy of the Heavens" covering molecules observed or observable as well as new spectroscopic approaches to astronomical observations. Invited speakers for this mini-symposium include: Louis Allamandola, NASA/AMES; and Gisbert Winnewisser, Universitét zu Köln. A third mini-symposium is being organized by Rick Suenram, NIST, and David Skatrud, Army Research Office, on "Spectroscopy and Environmental Monitoring." The symposium will encompass the use of molecular spectroscopy for a variety of applications including atmospheric sensing, environmental and treaty compliance monitoring, industrial process control and optimization, etc. Invited speakers will include Phil DeCola, NASA, and Kevin McNesby, ARL, and J. D. Tate, Dow Chemical. A session on theory is being organized by Russell Pitzer, Ohio State University, featuring a talk by Jeppe Olsen , Lund University.
