The topics addressed at the meeting include, but are not limited to, the 
following: Rainbows; Halos; Glories; Coronas; Iridescence; Sky color and 
polarization; Atmospheric visibility; Refraction effects; Crepuscular 
rays; Contrast phenomena; Clouds; Optics of lightning; Sun and moon; 
Stars; Auroras; The green flash; Mirages; Shadows;
Optics of dust, soil and rocks; Colors created by absorption and 
scattering in water and air; Color and light on and in water; 
Iridescence and colors in biology and geology; Atmospheric optics in 
history and archaeology; De-weathering; Seeing the appearance of nature; 
Computational techniques for calculating and rendering optical effects 
in the atmosphere and landscape; Sensors and imaging techniques for 
nature phenomena; Lab experiments; etc.

For several decades, the Optical Society of America (OSA) has published 
a feature issue in one of its peer-reviewed journals (e.g., Applied 
Optics) that includes expanded versions of some Light and Color 
conference talks. We will continue this tradition by asking OSA after 
the 2019 conference to issue a call for papers on the topics listed on 
the Light & Color homepage, and we expect that accepted papers will be 
published in 2020.
