Aussies Hit the Speakers Trail

A revised preliminary programfor the Mars Society's 4th Annual Convention in Stanford, California, August 23-26, 2001, shows a number of Australians delivering papers on Mars-relatedactivities. Australian scientist Katy Quinn, one of the crew members on theFlashline Mars Arctic Research Station, will speak on 'Remote Sensing for HumanExploration', Dr. Nick Hoffman will deliver a paper on 'Volatile Inventories on a Frozen 'White Mars'' and Mars Society Australia President Guy Murphy and Queensland's Ben Cairns will speak on 'From the Red Centre to the Red Planet'and 'Project Marsupial HOP' respectively. It's good to see a strong Australian presence at this year's event and we will try to get a summary of their presentations on this site in due course.
