     Andi Petculescu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. His current research includes acoustic studies in granular media and sound generation and propagation in planetary atmos- pheres. One of his goals is to convince the decision makers in planetary science space missions of the importance of acoustic sensing in extraterrestrial environments. It is for this reason that Andi has organized and chaired two special sessions on Acoustic Probes of Planetary Environments, at meetings of the Acoustical Society of America in Salt Lake City (June 2007) and Paris (June-July 2008). Andi and his wife (and fellow physical acoustician) Gabriela have a two- year old son, Luc.
 Tim Leighton is Professor of Ultrasonics and Underwater Acoustics at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton, UK. He obtained M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Natural Sciences (Physics) from the University of Cambridge, UK, and is a Fellow of the ASA, the Institute of Acoustics and the Institute of Physics. His research tends to cover various areas of sound in liquids (acoustical oceanogra- phy, biomedical ultrasonics, sonochemistry, etc.). However, his strong interest in physical acoustics, combined with his musi- cal performance (he has performed oboe concertos with sev- eral orchestras), and interest in collecting and playing a range of instruments (string, woodwind, and percussion), has led to the current study.
