following: rainbows; ice crystal halos; glories; coronas; iridescence; 
sky color; atmospheric visibility; refraction effects; contrast 
phenomena; noctilucent clouds; optics of lightning; auroras; colors 
created by absorption and scattering in water and air; color and light 
in water and on water surfaces; iridescence and colors in biology and 
geology; atmospheric optics in history and archaeology; and 
computational techniques for calculating and rendering optical effects 
in the atmosphere and landscape.

Please submit a title and a short abstract for your talk via email to 
Prof. Kenneth Sassen (Chair, organizing committee), 
ksassen at gi.alaska.edu <wlmailhtml:ksassen at gi.alaska.edu>, by *Friday,

*Applied Optics Feature Issue*

Following each of the previous meetings, the Optical Society of America 
(OSA) has generously published a Feature Issue of one of its 
peer-reviewed journals. These Feature Issues draw heavily (but not 
exclusively) on contributions made at these meetings.

Journal of Optical Society of America, Vol. 69, No. 8 (August 1979)

Journal of Optical Society of America, Vol. 73, No. 12 (December 1983)

Journal of Optical Society of America A, Vol. 4, No. 3 (March 1987)

Applied Optics, Vol. 30, No. 24 (August 1991)

Applied Optics, Vol. 33, No. 21 (July 1994)

Applied Optics, Vol. 37, No. 9 (March 1998)

Applied Optics, Vol. 42, No. 3 (January 2003)

Applied Optics, Vol. 44, No. 27 (September 2005)

Applied Optics, Vol. 47, No. 34 (December 2008)

Applied Optics, Vol. 50, No. 28 (October 2011)

In line with this tradition, a Feature Issue of Applied Optics will be 
published during 2014.

*Practical information*

A dedicated web-site (http://lightandcolorinnature.org/2013-conference/) 
will be updated regularly to provide the latest information about the 
conference (e.g. accommodation, venue, schedule, etc.).
