The organizers also want to encourage contributions from all disciplines, i.e. theory, observations, and numerical and laboratory studies. The overarching goal of this meeting is to stimulate and intensify the dialogue between researchers from these different fields.
12-15	Brines Across the Solar System: Ancient Brines *, CANCELED  The Brines Across the Solar System: Ancient Brines conference will focus on integrating diverse fields of study, including but not limited to geology, mineralogy, (astro)biology, chemistry, planetary science, and physics with particular interest on the intersections of these fields as they apply to understanding the formation, location, and potential habitability of brines on planetary bodies, as well as any possible biosignatures associated with them.
12-16	Planet and Binary Formation in Gravitationally Unstable Protoplanetary Discs in the High-Resolution Era, Leicester, UK/Virtual  Exciting progress in the high-resolution observations of protoplanetary discs and young accreting protostars has been achieved in the last decade. In parallel with this progress, numerical simulations of massive young self-gravitating discs uncovered new phenomena and spawned new observation modelling tools. This conference will bring together theorists and observers to discuss implications of this progress for our understanding of disc assembly, its chemical and dynamical structure, evolution, and connections to protostellar growth, binary, and planet formation by disc fragmentation.
18-22	73rd International Astronautical Congress, Paris, France  The International Astronautical Congress 2022 theme will be "Space for @ll" to reach beyond the space community, bringing together all communities to offer great opportunities for networking and forging new contacts and potential partnerships.
18-22	Hypervelocity Impact Symposium 2022, Alexandria, Virginia  The Hypervelocity Impact Symposium (HVIS) is a biennial event organized by the Hypervelocity Impact Society that serves as the principal forum for the discussion, interchange, and presentation of the physics of high- and hypervelocity impact and related technical areas. It is intended for scientists, engineers, and technical managers from academia, industry, government, and defense programs. The HVIS Symposia have a long-standing international reputation as a catalyst for stimulating research in this area through a wealth of oral and poster presentations and commercial exhibits. The Symposium's proceedings are the major archival source of papers published in this field.
18-23	Europlanet Science Congress, Granada, Spain  The Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) (formerly known as the European Planetary Science Congress) is the major European meeting on planetary science.
19-23	Distributed Volcanism and Distributed Volcanic Hazards, Flagstaff, Arizona  Most subaerial volcanoes are found in widely distributed volcanic fields made up of tens to hundreds of vents. Eruption styles and potential impacts also vary. Explosive activity ranges from mild Strombolian and ash-producing eruptions that produce localized tephra fall to more explosive eruptions that result in widespread ashfall. Effusive eruptions can produce far-reaching lava flows, and non-eruptive open-vent outgassing degrades downwind air quality. Many distributed fields on Earth are poorly instrumented and their eruptive histories are not well understood, which limits our ability to forecast the potential location, timing and magnitude of future eruptions. The purpose of this Chapman is to bring together scientists to discuss, develop, and test conceptual models of distributed volcanism. Focus by the scientific community is especially important now because of continuing growth of cities, communities, and critical infrastructure within sparsely monitored volcanic fields.
22-24	Maria Mitchell Association Women of Science Symposium, Babson Park, Massachusetts  The Second Maria Mitchell Women of Science (STEM) Symposium is designed to serve as a source of inspiration and support and to be a hands-on experience in which all attendees are actively participating and problem-solving. Keynote speakers, panels, and salon-style gatherings will offer a unique environment in which all voices can be heard and encouraged. Participants will connect with colleagues and mentors and devise strategies to encourage and keep girls in STEM and support women in STEM at the beginning, middle, and late career stages.
26-28	Ninth International Workshop on Planetary, Solar and Heliospheric Radio Emissions, Dublin, Ireland/Virtual  The Ninth International Workshop on Planetary, Solar and Heliospheric Radio Emissions is the continuation of an established tradition following previous successful international workshops held in Austria. This workshop will follow a hybrid format, with all talks live streamed online via a communication platform which will allow questions from both in-person and virtual audiences. There will be poster lightning talks to accommodate both audiences, and posters will also be able to be displayed at the venue for in-person attendees.
27-30	Open Source Science Data Repositories Workshop, Hampton, Virginia/Virtual  NASA is making a long-term commitment to building an inclusive open science community over the next decade with the Open Source Science Initiative and the NASA data repositories are a key partner with the SMD communities and in sharing NASA scientific information. Following up on the Data Repositories Workshop hosted at Glenn Research Center back in 2018, the purpose of this workshop is to engage with the NASA data repositories on the next steps in sharing NASA scientific information and open science. Attendees are encouraged to share and discuss cross disciplinary activities and highlight the work of their data repositories. There will also be facilitated unconference sessions determined by participant interest.
28-30	Mars 2020/MSR Sample Depot Science Community Workshop, Virtual  A depot of samples acquired by the Perseverance Rover in Jezero Crater needs to be established in the near future for risk management and other strategic reasons along the Jezero Delta Front. The goal of this workshop is to inform and solicit input from the science community on the potential for the samples in this proposed depot to sufficiently satisfy Mars Sample Return (MSR) science objectives and thus, constitute a scientifically return-worthy (SRW) sample set.
29	LPI Seminar: Lava Tube Evolution and Exploration (Laurent Montesi, University of Maryland College Park), Virtual  Future explorers of the Moon and Mars may take advantage of lava tubes and other underground voids as long-term shelters and resource providers. However, the location of these features underground means they cannot be directly observed. Even detecting where a lava tube may be located is not a trivial matter. A combination of geophysical investigations, analogy studies, and theoretical modeling is, therefore, necessary to predict what lava tubes on other planets may be like. Models of lava tube evolution developed under the auspices of the GEODES virtual institute will be presented. The presentation will focus on the development of two geomorphological features predicted by these models: a sinuous ridge that follows the trace of the tube at the surface and cracks that may develop on either side of the tube. These features can provide information on the size and shape of a tube before in-situ exploration. Preliminary evidence will be shown that these morphological features exist at locations where other data indicate a lava tube may be present. Registration is required:
