The details of how protoplanetary disks evolve from initially well-mixed distributions of gas and dust to systems composed mostly of rocky planets and gas giants like our own solar system is a fundamental question in astronomy. It is widely accepted that the first step in planet formation is dust grain growth and settling to the disk midplane. This dust evolution in disks can be studied in greater detail with far-infrared and submillimeter wavelength observations, which offer us unique access to the outer disk's deeper layers. Here we present Herschel far-infrared and submillimeter spectra of GM Aur taken with PACS and SPIRE. GM Aur is a transitional disk, whose inner disk hole is proposed to have been cleared by yet unseen planets. By utilizing Herschel data, we can potentially link the properties of dust evolution in the outer disk to dust clearing in the inner disk. In particular, preliminary SED modeling presented here suggests that GM Aur may have a lower gas-to-dust mass ratio than typically assumed for disks, which may be linked to disk clearing by planets. With further study, such Herschel data may provide insight for theoretical modeling of dust evolution and planet formation.
