Winter Meeting Deadlines Extended for Those Affected by Hurricanes

AAS 231The Society's thoughts are with everyone affected by hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria, and we know that those affected have more important matters to focus on right now than registration and abstract submission deadlines for the AAS winter meeting.

We will therefore extend the early registration deadline and rate to 2 November for meeting attendees from the greater Houston area, South Florida, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and the Caribbean. Please use the special registration form to register at the early registration rate if you are from one of these affected areas.

Anyone from these regions submitting a poster abstract for the meeting will not be treated as a late submission if the abstract is received before the final abstract submission date of 5 December. Oral talks cannot be accepted after the regular abstract deadline of 3 October, only poster presentations. All the regular abstract rules apply.
