Special Sessions
For the 68th Symposium,
Wim Ubachs
,
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
and
Tim Steimle
,
Arizona State University
, are organizing a mini-symposium entitled, "Spectroscopy Tests of Fundamental Physics". This mini-symposium will focus on experimental and theoretical efforts to characterize shifts in molecular quantum levels brought about by physics beyond the principles of General Relativity and the Standard Model. Invited speakers will include
Peter Schwerdtfeger
,
Massey University
, and
Wim Ubachs
,
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
. A second mini-symposium is being organized by
Vincent Boudon
,
CNRS / Universite de Bourgogne
and
Peter Bernath
,
Old Dominion University
on the subject of "Spectroscopy of Planetary Atmospheres." This mini-symposium is dedicated to the spectroscopy of planetary atmospheres including observations, laboratory measurements and modeling for the Earth, planets of the Solar System, exoplanets and brown dwarfs. Invited talks for this mini-symposium will be given by
Pierre-Francois Coheur
