I will be guest blogger for the month on the Year of Science website (http://www.yearofscience2009.org/home/) and wonder if we might adopt the YoS question of 'why science matters' as an AW topic: "Why does Earth science matter?"

Caves, the deep earth and subterranean life. Anything related to the hidden world below and how it affects us on the surface. 2. Ice and Ice Ages. Glaciers, ice ages long ago and not so long ago and anything related to the cold element. 3. Famous or influencal Geoscientist and their achievements. Due to my thesis work I don't think I have the time to host one of these myself but would be glad if one of the ideas is picked-up by someone. I have a few thematic ideas for future Wedges.

That said, there are no formal qualifications for submissions. My sense is that would be a good idea to submit posts for one or two wedge editions before you try to host, though I expect that's somewhat flexible. If you want to host, it would be a good idea to go back through previous editions to see topics that have been adressed before. The next wedge is open to submissions right now, and the deadline for the September edition, on the topic "What remains to be discovered for future earth scientists what we (still) don't know about earth?" See the full call for submissions at <a href="http://rockglacier.blogspot.com/2009/08/19-aw-call-for-20.html" rel="nofollow">Cryology and Co.</a> Hope to see you there!

Are there qualifications to host Accretionary Wedges? Are there also qualifications for submissions also?

What are the origins of these event?

I am SO interested!

Could maybe link it in to a geobloggers meetup at GSA as well... How about outreach for a topic? We all get to talk about our research and teaching experience, but what about geology outside of an academic setting? Earth Science Week is dedicated to getting people interested in geology - how have people in the geoblogosphere contributed to that effort? Have you hosted a geology day, taken people on a field trip, etc.? Rewording is fine with me - I'm just brainstorming at this point.
