Dear colleagues,

We would like to highlight the following special session at this  
year's AGU Fall Meeting, 15-19 December 2008 in San Francisco,  
California.  The abstract deadline is 10 September 2008, and you can

Special Session G13
Ever Faster: Low-Latency Data Collection and Applications Across the
Earth Sciences

Rapid access to data from a variety of geophysical instruments is  
increasingly important for a wide range of Earth science applications.  
These include earthquake early warning and rapid finite-fault  
earthquake source models; tsunami and volcano warning; flood warning  
and hydrologic modeling; improved short-term weather models;  
landslides, debris flows, and other problems in geomorphology; global  
environmental change monitoring; and space and atmospheric physics. As  
a result, it is increasingly common for terrestrial networks, and now  
even Earth observing satellite missions, to provide low-latency data  
products, despite significant technical challenges and restricted  
funding environments. We intend this session to bring together network  
and data managers, technologists, and researchers with an interest in  
low-latency data across the Earth sciences. We particularly welcome  
those presentations that define scientific needs or new solutions that  
can foster further growth in this exciting area.
