Choose your topics! (at least, start thinking about it)

[Asimow Paul]

Also, tomorrow I would like to start getting down (or finish?) the
list of topic areas on which each of you will become the local expert.
That entails, approximately, two ten-minute-scale oral presentations
to the group meetings between now and August, and a 30-minute scale
presentation on the outcrop in Japan. This means you will need to
actually research your subject and develop your material in some
depth. We should start working this out now because (a) we want to
avoid too much overlap between, say, all the seismologists and (b) we
need early volunteers for the meetings this Spring.

If you have ideas you want to bounce off me or Joe before, during
(except Joe won't be there), or after tomorrow morning's meeting,
please do!!
