[Tara Cross]

>Transactions Volume X is also now available.  I'll be picking them up
from the printer tomorrow.  Those of >you who pre-ordered should be
receiving yours shortly.



Big thanks to Udo for handling the distribution of Transactions 10!  As Transactions editors, we'd like to add our plug for the new volume.  If you haven't renewed your GOSA membership lately, remember that GOSA associates receive the Transactions at $24 below list price, and Supporter, Sponsor, and Benefactor subscribers receive larger discounts.  The following announcement will appear in the next Sput:






Your GOSA Transactions editors are excited to announce that Transactions 10 is finished and
available for order from the GOSA store! 
Those who have already ordered Transactions 10 should be receiving it
very soon, and we are certain that you will be pleased with the new
volume.  Layout editor Pat Snyder has
given the Transactions a new look,
including a beautiful cover photo of Giant and color photos on the back
cover.  The volume contains 14 articles, which
represent a wide variety of research interests and fulfill GOSA’s mission of
collecting and disseminating information about geysers and geothermal phenomena
in Yellowstone and throughout the world.

All of the articles are interesting,
detailed, and provide new information and observations, so it’s hard to know
where to begin.  It is always a special
treat to read about geysers in areas besides Yellowstone, and gazers who love
Aurum Geyser should enjoy the photos and descriptions of Geyser KL30 at Lake Bogoria, Kenya, as written by Robin Renaut,
R. Bernhart Owen, and John K. Ego.  Back
in Yellowstone, Vicki Whitledge, along with
Ralph Taylor, continued her study of the Grand Complex with an investigation of
the cycles of Turban Geyser and Grand’s pool in 2005 and 2006.  Giant’s recent activity inspired two
articles:  Tara Cross’s complete summary
of the 2005-2008 active phase, and Tom Magnera’s intriguing analysis of the
relationship between Giant and Grotto from 2000-2007.  To go along with articles on Grand and Giant,
Jeff Cross shared his ideas on the minor activity of geysers prior to major
eruption.  Jeff also contributed a longer
article covering his studies of some of Yellowstone’s
smaller frontcountry and backcountry geysers. 
Lynn Stephens wrote a thorough history of Flood Geyser’s eruption
patterns showing a relationship between Flood’s duration and the succeeding
interval.  Demonstrating that Transactions articles may cover both recent
and historical activity, we were pleased to include Mary Ann Moss’s fascinating
photographs and personal recollections of Excelsior Geyser’s brief active phase
in 1985, and Lee Whittlesey’s delightful history of the stagecoach-era Fountain
Hotel.  In addition, the volume features
several enlightening shorter articles, from Stephen Eide’s description of
“Improbable Geyser” to Ralph Taylor’s summary of Baby Daisy’s activity in
2003-2004.  Stephen Gryc has documented
the relatively new activity of “Underhill Geyser,” and Scott Bryan shared his
analysis of Narcissus Geyser’s eruption patterns.

With such variety of scope and
subject material, there is bound to be something in this volume for
everyone.  We hope that GOSA associates and others
will not only purchase a copy of Volume 10, but consider contributing an
article or photographs to Volume 11.

The Transactions is truly a collaborative effort and we would like to
thank everyone who played a role in making “T10” a reality.  We send a huge thanks to all of our authors,
reviewers, and photographers!  We were
very impressed by the willingness of GOSA associates to help out, even on short
notice, and we could not have done it without you.  We would also like to extend special thanks to
Nancy Cross, who proofread all 222 pages. 
Once we completed layout, Udo Freund the folks at Four Star Printing
were very helpful to us.  Since we now
know just how much work goes into producing the Transactions, we would like to
extend a final thank you to T. Scott Bryan, who edited 7 of the first 9
volumes.  We can tell you that it is no
small task and Scott did a fantastic job and laid the groundwork for this and
future volumes.

We hope you all enjoy Transactions 10!

Tara Cross, Jeff Cross, and Pat
Snyder, Transactions editors
