Darn, I got fouled up in using Acrobat Reader to get to the achtual
abstracts when you posted this two weeks ago. I got the hang of it now and
start reading. It's very exiting.

Every other word in the abstracts are ....bacteria....microbes....life!
and another planet goes merrily to hell.
Huh!
What an incredibly depressing outlook. Life ruins things?
Your view is derived, I believe, from instinct not intellect.
An animal in the forest notices only what moves, predator
or prey. So it is change, what is different, that we notice and
are frightened of. This is true for ecology or even bigotry.
An intelligent view would see what is the common 'element' in
all around us. And it is not a particle or a force. It is the driving
of systems far from equilibrium....change....that is the common
source of all order and creation.
You draw up experiments and measure only what
changes, which is the method of animals. This is what
objective science has done to us. Instinctual and
backwards
Is it any wonder so many confuse heaven for hell.

What frightens me most is the desire (or the lust?) of too many scientists
to be the first to find life somewhere outside the terrestrial realm. This
presently distorts any rational approach, and brings discredit to science
and scientists.

The very latest non-linear mathematics strongly suggests that
life is not just elsewhere, but everywhere.
The only irrational position is that there's nothing
to get excited about.
It is normal to be emotional about truth that holds
the possibility of ending the eternal struggle between
science and religion. Such a timeless and transforming
discovery should compel passion, if not, then nothing
can. Being dispassionate about this is perverse.

Every other work in the abstracts are
.....bacteria....microbes....life!
and another planet goes merrily to hell.
Keep in mind all these abstracts are very preliminary. The conclusion
of a subsurface frozen sea would have to be confirmed by independent
evidence. The MARSIS ground penetrating radar on Mars Express and the
SHARAD gpr on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter might be able to provide this
confirming evidence.

Just keep in mind that everyone, even veterans, is nervous before a talk.
That just disappears once you started talking.
As others have pointed out, the best way is to practice the talk several
times before. Important is to speak the whole thing, don't just repeat
it in mind. My experience is that the actual talk is one or two minutes
shorter.
Apart from this, LPSC is usually a great conference (although rather big
this year).
Cheers,
Andreas

That's a /good/ plan. I don't suppose there's a smaller meeting before
the big day that you could submit a similar paper to, just so that it
gets a live outing before the main meeting? I've encouraged my students
to do that in the past - present a variation of the talk they've
submitted for the big European spring meeting at one of the smaller
UK meetings a few weeks before. It seems to work pretty well in
establishing confidence (they both got awards for outstanding student
papers at the last AGU, so between us we're doing something right).
One other small point for the day of your talk - buy a small chocolate
bar or similar & eat it 10 minutes before - that way the sugar gives
you a bit of a lift just when you need it. It sounds silly, I know,
but it can help if you're tired.
Good luck with the paper and enjoy the meeting.

Congratulations. Can't give advice since I haven't posted there
myself.
But perhaps you could ask some questions I'm curious about.
1.)Why hasn't THEMIS been used to characterize White Rock? A poster to
this LPSC will argue Mars Express imaging suggests it might be
evaporitic after all.
2.)Does the poster suggesting thin liquid water films currently in
Gusev imply that that may actually have been mud seen early in the
Spirit mission?

Here's another one:
3.)Will Mars Express image the Malin/Edgett gullies in color?

Is it believed the Spirit Navcam images on this page show actual halos
or is it just an optical artifact:
MER Spirit: Sol 345.
http://mars.lyle.org/bysol/2-345.html
This page has examples and explanations of halos caused by ice crystals
on Earth:
Frequent Halos.
http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/halo/common.htm
If the Navcam images are real halos that might suggest there were thin
non-visible ice water clouds over the Spirit site as were the visible
cirrus clouds seen over Meridiani.
Liquid water droplets can also form halos:
Fogbow.
http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/droplets/fogbow.htm
Are there differences between the halos caused by ice and liquid water?

This thread on the Mars Exploration Rover Forum discussed the clouds
seen from the rovers:
Clouds On Mars.
http://mer.rlproject.com/index.php?showtopic=476&hl=
Are there any multi-filter PANCAM images of the clouds?
They might be used to calibrate the color combinations working on the
assumption the clouds should be white.

Some years ago I wrote up a set of suggestions for first-time paper
presenters. In case they're of use:
------------
Run through your talk at least once in advance so you know how long it
will take. It probably needs to be cut down. My talks usually need to
be cut by at least a factor of two. Doing this in advance is far superior
to improvising when you discover you only have five more minutes. Don't
forget to leave time for questions at the end.
Doing a practice run in front of a mirror (or a tape recorder!) can be
revealing. Mumbling, speaking to your notes, etc. can be fought
effectively by speaking only when you have eye contact with a member of
the audience. Not the same person all the time, though!
Avoid wah-wah syndrome: if you're wearing a lapel microphone, don't keep
turning your head to look at the screen while you're talking, because it
makes your voice fade in and out. Put your notes on paper, not on your
slides (or make a paper copy of your slides), so you can have your notes
in *front* of you while you talk.
Say something interesting. If short of time, pick one subtopic and say
something interesting about it, and forget the rest. Few things annoy an
audience more than hearing "well, the rest of that's in the paper" every
two minutes. Especially since it usually comes just as things start to
get interesting. If there isn't time to cover everything, *don't try*.
(Remember this if you find yourself *unexpectedly* short of time. Dashing
through half a dozen topics in five minutes means you can't say anything
interesting about any of them.)
Say something your competitors would find fascinating. If your talk bores
them, it probably bores the rest of the audience too.
Remember that your audience can read. Rather than reciting the results
in the paper, talk about how you got them, especially what problems you
solved and what mistakes you made, or about the implications.
Plan your slides for visual content. Pictures should be worth a thousand
words. If a slide isn't useful when shown backwards, it has too many
words and not enough picture -- take it out. The outline of your talk
belongs in your notes, not on your slides.
Using visual media for things with visual content also does wonders for
the poor people at the back of the audience who can't read your 3-point
type anyway. If you *must* put words on your slides, 24-point type is
about the minimum. For viewgraphs, stand up and drop them on the floor at
your feet; if you can't read them that way, the print's too small. If
using a video projector, do remember that they often don't reproduce fine
detail well, especially thin horizontal lines.
Video-projector slides should simply pop up, complete. Audiences quickly
get sick of waiting while the animated dancing turtles assemble your next
slide... especially if you stand there silent until they finish. This
also applies to viewgraphs: put the whole viewgraph up at once. Coyly
revealing it a line at a time, by sliding a cover sheet down, distracts
both you and the audience.
The audience has come to listen to you talk, not to watch you fiddle with
the computer and the video equipment. If there is the slightest doubt
about whether your desired video setup will work (e.g. whether your laptop
will talk to the projector), resolve it *in advance*. If you can't do
that, then be prepared to deliver some approximation to your talk with
*no* video, and activate that plan if you can't sort out the video within
one (1) minute.
Visit the washroom shortly before your talk.

[Much excellent advice snipped.]
Run through your talk at least once in advance so you know how long it
will take.
If this is really your first talk, you should present it to your
advisor before the meeting. Before doing that, you might want to
present it to one or more of your fellow students.
Say something interesting. If short of time, pick one subtopic and say
something interesting about it, and forget the rest.
This is crucial. How long is the talk supposed to be? In the
5-minute talks that are common in astronomy these days, you cannot
present even one idea in any depth. You can just about manage one
idea in a 10-minute talk, and 15 minutes will let you do it justice.
In a full hour talk, you might get away with as many as three ideas,
but that's the maximum.
Another rule of thumb is to use about one viewgraph per minute of the
talk.
Of course these are rules of thumb, and things can differ in
particular cases or perhaps in fields other than astronomy. On the
other hand, remember that your audience will be listening to lots of
talks that day. If you want them to remember yours, you can't try to
cover too many topics. It's nice if you can have a "sound bite" that
summarizes your basic idea.
One other thing... occasionally there is some idiot in the audience
who has to show he is superior to the speaker by asking some
unanswerable question. A sufficient answer for such a case is "I've
never looked into that," or something similar. The situation is not
frequent, but there's no reason to get flustered or embarrassed if it
should arise.
Most of all: enjoy the meeting! Meeting other people in your field
is very useful and usually loads of fun. See if you can't work in a
couple of nice dinners at your advisor's expense.

Also,
Just relax and enjoy it...they are really all your friends in the audience
and want to see you present your work..they wouldn't be there if they
weren't interested in what you have got to say :-)
BTW whats are you saying about the Mars mantle..I'm a geochemist myself :-)

My advisors and I did high-pressure experiments with a piston-cylinder
using the composition of the very primitive Martian meteorite Yamato
980459 to try to recreate the environment of the mantle when the
meteorite formed. Also we wanted to prove that the meteorite was a
result of a primary melt, not just a cumulate. My abstract is here if
you'd like to take a look:

Is 1380 to 1625 C realistic for the Martian mantle? I guess 4 to 16
Kbars corresponds to a depth of about 12 to 50 km, right?

12 kbars is about 99 km depth on Mars. I think the temperatures we got
are reasonable considering the highly magnesian composition of our
starting material. Monders, et al. did similar experiments using the
compostion found at Gusev Crater (see abstract here:
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2005/pdf/2069.pdf ) and found
multiple saturation at a pressure of 11 kbars, which is almost
identical to ours. Their temperatures were a little lower, but they
also had a different composition.

[ca 1600K]
Reasonable for the experiment (heating via dynamical compression), or
reasonable for the radial T(r) profile of Mars?
