Message from the Past Chair programs, we have reason to be proud of our successes over the past year. With data arriving daily from all parts of the solar Robert Anderson system, this is a time to reflect on how far as Jet Propulsion a division and an organization we have Laboratory come. No longer are there large gaps between different disciplines of geology. As more and more information becomes available from our neighbors in space, the more we realize just how much we have in We had a wonderful 125th anniversary of the common. This is especially true within the Geological Society of America annual Planetary Geology Division and the meeting and are at the end of an exciting Geological Society of America as a whole. year!

Squyres (2011), P. Schultz (2012).

The 2013 G.K. Gilbert awardee is Dr. Alan D. Howard, Professor, University of Virginia.

Dr. Howard is a preeminent landform evolution modeler and hydrologist in Martian studies. He and his students have produced groundbreaking results on the dominant role of precipitation and runoff in the evolution of the ancient Martian surface. In addition, Dr. Howard has made major contributions to the understanding of Martian polar processes, as well as advancing our understanding of the geologic processes that operated on early Mars.

Alan D. Howard received his Ph.D. in Geography and Environmental Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University in 1970. After working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at University of Virginia Charlottesville, he became an Associate Professor in the Department of Environmental Sciences at the University of Virginia Charlottesville in 1973. He was promoted to full Professor in 1984.

8 We need your help! This would be a great time to make a contribution to the Dwornik, Shoemaker, G. K. Gilbert or student travel grant funds! Unlike many other charitable donations, your donation to these funds will produce positive results you can see for yourself as you encourage and support planetary scientists, both current and future. Donations can either be made online (http://www.gsafweb.org/makeadonation.html) or by mail. If by mail, please include a check or money order, made payable to Planetary Geology Division, GSA.

YES I have enclosed a check as a donation to:

The Dwornik Fund amount $(______)

The Shoemaker Fund amount $(______)

The G. K. Gilbert Fund amount $(______)

Student Travel Grants amount $(______)

WHEN MAKING A DONATION, PLEASE PUT THE BALLOT AND CHECK IN AN ENVELOPE AND MAIL IT TO:
