Subject: Special Session at AGU Dedicated to Jack Dymond

We are pleased to announce a special session at Fall AGU dedicated to the career and accomplishments of Jack Dymond, entitled: "Unraveling the "fingerprints" of geochemical processes recorded in earth materials". The session will be co-sponsored by the Ocean Sciences, Biogeosciences, Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology sections. Jack was a leader in the JGOFS program from its very inception as he contributed to our understand of modern and paleo carbon fluxes. This session encourages scientific presentations from all people touched by Jack's work and enthusiasm, as well as by his dedication to strong collaborative spirit, preservation of the environment, and education. In that regard, not only do we encourage your abstract submission, but any other material that might be appropriate should be discussed directly with the organizers. This might include pictures, anecdotes, bits of published or unpublished science benchmarks, etc. We'll work to knit these materials together and we encourage you to briefly connect your own presented science with Jack's career. Note that AGU policy did not permit us to have Jack's name in the session title (they initially wanted us to excise all references to him). We have been given no such constraint on the title of submitted talks. Looking forward to seeing you in December, Dave, Bob and John. ------------------------------------------------------------- OS05 Unraveling the "fingerprints" of geochemical processes recorded in earth materials. We view earth history through the study of marine materials which reflect the biological, geological, and chemical processes that form them. From the moment such material are formed, to their final preservation in the geologic record, they allow us to explore earth system processes over space and time. This session encourages scientific contributions from all who explore the earth through uncharted waters in marine geochemistry. Jack Dymond provided insight and leadership in our understanding of the effect of volcanic and sedimentary processes on the biogeochemistry of the ocean and lakes - from the Galapagos Spreading Center to the Juan de Fuca Ridge; from Crater Lake to Lake Baikal; through particles settling within every ocean basin on earth. This session encourages scientific presentations from all people touched by Jack's work and enthusiasm, as well as by his dedication to strong collaborative spirit, preservation of the environment, and education.
