DPS 2010 Meeting Abstracts Posted Online

The abstracts for the 42nd Meeting of the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society (DPS) were posted online earlier today.  The annual DPS meeting focuses on a variety of planetary science topics.  This year's meeting is scheduled for October 4-8 and will be held at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, California.

Two Galilean satellite oral sessions planned during the mornings of Wednesday, October 6 and Friday, October 8.  A poster session is also planned for the afternoon of October 6. In addition to these Galilean sessions, there is a town hall meeting covering the Europa/Jupiter System Mission during lunch on Tuesday, October 5.

Five talks and three posters are planned during Galilean Satellite sessions scheduled for October 6.  I have listed them below.
