Dear colleagues,

Please remember that the new deadline for Fall AGU Session Proposals is April 
20th.  This is many weeks before the normal deadline. If you want a special 
session, please submit a proposal in the next few weeks.  Also, please look 
through the list of special sessions already submitted to see if there is one 
that may be synergistic with the one that you are considering. It is often 
better to have a larger session with more broad interest than a highly focused 
session which may only receive a few abstracts submitted to it.  There is a good 
chance that we will have to combine smaller sessions to allow the AGU-mandated 
nominal 33% oral slots (e.g., for a single 2-hour oral session with 8 talks, AGU 
would expect to have at least 24 abstracts submitted to the session.)

You can submit proposal and view submitted session proposal from the AGU web site:
