The next issue of the Blueline is wrapping up this week, and is due for distribution March 1. This issue will have a preview of the 2009 meeting in Houston, as well as reports from some recent conferences. We’ll also have an introduction to the Year of Science 2009, and the International Polar Year. Further goodies include articles on new Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and the geology of Sedona, Arizona. (Plus my president’s column, which I’m sure you’re all waiting breathlessly for.)
