Date: Thu, 20 May 1993 18:49:03 -0400 (EDT) From: PETER@CANLON.PHYSICS.UWO.CA Subject: Updated email listing for meteor astronomers Below is a working list with the email addresses of various people working in all different aspects of meteor astronomy. I have tried to give a brief description of what everyone is involved with, to the best of my ability, or pass along the descriptions given by the original email address sources so you might be able to judge who might be involved in an area similar to the one you are working in. The addresses are listed in the order I have received them. If you have a chance to send your own description of what you are involved with/interested in this would be much appreciated. Please let me know "updates" on your working areas/description so I can continually update the list for other meteor people. Also please pass along any other email addresses of people working in meteor astronomy or closely related fields you might have laying around in your mail files. For those who have received older copies of this list, please note that many addresses have changed over the last year and several new meteor workers have been added, in particular in the areas of Eastern Europe and the C.I.S.
