Gosh, a breakout session on hurricane Sandy with Michael Mann, and they label it ?breaking news?. From the Geological Society of America website:
BREAKING NEWS: GSA Session to Address Hurricane Sandy
GSA Annual Meeting Technical Sessions: Rapid Sea-Level Rise and Its Impacts: Past, Present, and Future I and II
Boulder, Colorado, USA ? In response to the devastation caused last week by Hurricane Sandy, organizers of the Geological Society of America Annual Meeting technical sessions on rapid sea-level rise and its impacts have created a break-out discussion panel consisting of geoscience experts. The idea is to relate early findings and discuss how the changes caused by Hurricane Sandy to the U.S. East Coast tie into the scientific papers already scheduled for presentation.
Session organizers George T. Stone of Milwaukee Area Technical College, Michael E. Mann of The Pennsylvania State University, Stanley R. Riggs of East Carolina University, and Andrew M. Buddington of Spokane Community College recognized early the need to discuss the effects of Hurricane Sandy. The newly revised discussion panel will follow morning talks in room 219AB of the Charlotte Convention Center on Monday, 5 November.
Five GSA Divisions (GSA Quaternary Geology and Geomorphology; Environmental and Engineering Geology; Geology and Society; Hydrogeology; Sedimentary Geology) and GSA?s International Section have teamed up with the Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists and the National Association of Geoscience Teachers to bring a multidisciplinary perspective to the problem.
Other talks in this two-part session (morning and afternoon) include ?Pulses of rapid sea level rise: Their effect on past, present and future coastal environments and sequences?; Anthropogenic sea-level rise: ethical transgressions; and ?Sea-level change during the last 2000 years in southern Connecticut.?
Breakout Panel Discussion: Hurricane Sandy and its Impacts
When: Monday, 5 Nov., 11:30 to noon
Where: Charlotte Convention Center, Room 219AB
Session 14: T121. Rapid Sea-Level Rise and Its Impacts: Past, Present, and Future I: https://gsa.confex.com/gsa/2012AM/webprogram/Session30943.html

Maybe they can discuss the recent admission by NASA JPL that the satellite sea level data is missing a good baseline reference and is likely corrupted by spurious noise:
Finally: JPL intends to get a GRASP on accurate sea level and ice measurements
New proposal from NASA JPL admits to ?spurious? errors in current satellite based sea level and ice altimetry, calls for new space platform to fix the problem.
Likely though, it will be a doom and gloom breakout session with sea level accelerating and all that.
