Doing Public Engagement in Informal Settings Communicating Science Using Social & Traditional Media Advancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Access & Social Justice Addressing Climate/Environmental Science & Preserving Dark Skies Getting Ready for Upcoming Eclipses – Lunar and Solar! ASP2021 is the perfect opportunity to reconvene with your colleagues from around the world, update folks on what you've been working on, and learn about best practices, innovative ideas, lessons learned, research findings, and evaluation results from our global community.
18	LPI Seminar:Chromium Isotopic Insights into Early Solar System Evolution and Origin of Terrestrial Planets (Ke Zhu, Paris Globe Institute of Physics), Virtual  Chromium (Cr) isotopes play an important role in cosmochemistry and planetary science because they are powerful tools for dating (53Mn–53Cr short–lived chronometry), tracing (54Cr nucleosynthetic anomalies) the origins of the materials, and studying the processes involved in volatile element fractionation and planetary differentiation (Cr stable isotopic fractionation). I combine these three approaches by using state-of-the-art mass spectrometry (TIMS and MC-ICP-MS). In this talk, I will mainly introduce the application of Cr isotopes for understanding the formation and origin of 1) chondrites; 2) chondrules; 3) Earth, Moon, Mars and other terrestrial planets in our solar system.

29-Dec 3	Venera-D: Venus Cloud Habitability System Workshop *, Virtual  This workshop will be delivered as a hybrid meeting, with in-person attendance at the Space Research Institute (IKI) in Moscow, Russia. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss the formation and stability of Venus clouds over time and their role in potential habitability. This workshop will discuss what is understood about past and present habitability, the best measurements and methods needed to address these questions, and how future missions will contribute to understanding the cloud habitability system.

 

December 2021

13-17	AGU 2021 Fall Meeting, New Orleans, Louisiana/Virtual  At this time, AGU is planning the 2021 Fall Meeting as a "hybrid" meeting, aimed to optimize both in-person and worldwide virtual participation and to present a best-in class experience for all attendees. Join us for Fall Meeting 2021 in New Orleans, Louisiana. More information will follow shortly.
14-17	Evolved Stars and their Circumstellar Environments, Virtual  When low- and intermediate-mass stars exhaust their nuclear fuel in their cores, they expand and enter the giant branch in the HR diagram. Eventually, some also ascend the asymptotic giant branch (AGB), potentially leading to planetary nebulae formation. AGB stars dominate the enrichment of several of the pre-biotic elements (e.g. C, N) and are therefore critical to our understanding of Galactic chemical evolution. The evolution of supergiants can provide information on open cluster evolution and star formation history. Generally speaking, evolved stellar objects also provide unique laboratories for the study of molecule and dust formation and matter-radiation interactions in highly irradiated environments. This workshop will explore how theoretical and observational studies of evolved stellar objects can contribute to the understanding of a critical part of stellar evolution. Because giant stars tend to be cool with significant circumstellar, often dusty, envelopes, red [super] giants, AGB stars, planetary nebulae, and related objects are ideally suited for studies at infrared and [sub]mm wavelengths. We will encourage discussions on synergies between infrared observations and other techniques, and how laboratory work can contribute to the advancement of the field. Addressed topics will include gas chemistry in different regions of stellar objects/different star types; connection to the ISM; elemental enrichment; dust formation theory; dust observations: chemical composition and polarimetric properties; and temporal evolution.

 

January 2022

10-12	Rocky Worlds II, Oxford, United Kingdom  The planets that are best understood are the four terrestrial planets of our own solar system. Applying the detailed understanding gleaned from these bodies is crucial in our interpretation of exoplanetary systems. With the ongoing programs to search for planets around nearby stars, as well as upcoming ground- and space-based surveys, we can anticipate huge growth in the number and information on detected rocky exoplanets in the coming decades. As the characterisation of these new planetary systems proceeds it will in turn improve understanding of our own solar system, and in particular of how potentially habitable Earth-like planets may form, evolve, and are distributed throughout the galaxy. The Rocky Worlds conference series aims to bring together planetary scientists, astronomers, and earth scientists to foster discussion and build the collaborations that will pave the way for the next decade of rocky exoplanet discovery and characterisation.
11-13	Low-Cost Science Mission Concepts for Mars Exploration (#LowCostMars2022) *, Pasadena, California  Emerging small spacecraft capabilities and innovative new mission concepts offer opportunities for compelling science discoveries at Mars at unprecedented low costs. NASA’s Mars Exploration Program invites the community to this three-day workshop to explore this potential new class of Mars missions from multiple perspectives.
24-25	26th Meeting of the NASA Small Bodies Assessment Group (SBAG) *, Virtual  This meeting is the first of SBAG’s two yearly meetings. The agenda will include an overview of NASA’s missions involving small bodies, various presentations from NASA Headquarters managers, early-career science talks, and community forums. A findings report from the meeting will be compiled and sent to the Planetary Advisory Committee.
26-27	Lunar Surface Science Workshop — Virtual Session 13: Inclusive Lunar Exploration *, Virtual  The goal of this session is to begin an open dialogue about how to explore the Moon responsibly, ethically, and inclusively. As the Artemis era begins, this is a time to intentionally make key decisions that will impact the lunar and planetary workforce and the future of exploration. Inclusion is one of NASA’s core values. This session will discuss best practices related to advancing inclusion and diversity in the lunar science and exploration community and initiate conversations about how to explore the Moon responsibly, ethically, and inclusively. One expected outcome of this session is a publicly available report of key findings and recommendations to NASA and the community, including best practices.
