Chemical Evolution I: Chemical Change Across Space and Time Sponsored by: Division of Chemical Education (CHED) Co-sponsors: Division of Geochemistry (GEOC), Division of Nuclear Chemistry and Technology (DNCT) 233rd ACS National Meeting: March 25-29, 2007 Chicago Barred Spiral Galaxy NGC 1300 Miller-Urey Experiment Chemical principles and techniques are central to understanding the evolution of the universe. This symposium follows chemical evolution from the big bang to prebiotic chemistry. Presentations by leaders in their fields provide a framework for a session on teaching the evolutionary nature of chemistry. Introduction: The Origins of Order and the Emergence of Complexity S.A. Kauffman PART I: CHEMICAL EVOLUTION IN ASTROPHYSICS Chemical Origins: Nuclear Chemistry in the Early Universe K.A. Olive Origin of the Elements: Nucleosynthesis in Stars B.S. Meyer Detecting Molecular Evolution in Space L.M. Ziurys Circumstellar Chemistry TBD Chemistry in the Interstellar Medium L.J. Allamandola Chemical and Isotopic Evidence for Nebular Processes R.N. Clayton PART II: GEOCHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND EARTH Assembly and Chemical Development of Planets TBD Lessons from the Meteorites M.E. Lipschutz Chemical Diversity and Abundance Across the Solar System J.S. Lewis The Earth/Moon System: Formation and Chemical Constraints K. Righter Volatile Inventories of the Planets B. Fegley Jr. Chemical Pathways in the Formation of Planetary Atmospheres S. Atreya PART III: PREBIOTIC CHEMISTRY Prebiotically Important Interstellar Molecules P. Ehrenfreund Organic Chemistry of Meteorites: Carbonaceous Chondrites O. Botta Interactions: Earth’s Early Atmosphere, Lithosphere, & Hydrosphere D.R. Rumble III Miller-Urey Type Experiments Revisited J.L. Bada Organic Chemistry and Clay Minerals J.P. Ferris Early Processes Creating Molecular Diversity TBD Proceedings Conclusion: Setting the Stage for the Origins of Life R.M. Hazen Call for Papers PART IV: TEACHING CHEMICAL EVOLUTION will provide a link between Parts I to III and the implementation of symposium themes in classrooms. If you would like to participate, please contact the organizers with information about your contribution. Abstracts must be submitted online via OASYS at www.chemistry.org by Nov. 14, 2006. A full paper is due by Jan. 15, 2007, and will be published in the ACS Symposium Series along with papers from Parts I to III.
