Fluids in Planetary Systems

At our first inaugural meeting last April, we sifted through several pages of potential topics. Some had been suggested by the councils of the par- ticipating societies; others had been gathered at meetings, while talking to colleagues. We strived to choose topics that would be of interest to a wide part of our membership – in each of these issues, mineralogists, geochemists, and petrologists should find at least one article of great interest to them – but also topics where exciting developments are underway. We also needed to find guest editors and authors willing to work under very tight deadlines. It you are interested in proposing a topic, you can download a propos- al form from our web site. We are already developing themes for 2006 and 2007. Here is what you can look forward to in 2005.
