Dana Nance will continue his studies of calibrations and                   their impact on area minimization. This research is also strongly               related to the investigation of faces of the Grassmannian.                           Calibrations have been studied from two related points of                  view. First because they afford a quick method of showing that a                certain surface is area minimizing. The second is related to the                first and involves faces of the Grassmannian, these contain the                 tangent planes to the area minimizing surface. Nances's recent                  work on the angle conjecture involved his introduction of                       quaternionic forms which are an extension of the special                        Lagrangian forms. Following this success he will study their                    further properties and extensions.
