LPI Seminar: Sedimentary Records from Another World: Exploring Gale Crater with the Curiosity Rover (Kirsten Siebach, Rice University),
Lecture Hall
Since landing on the floor of Gale crater in August 2012, the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover has explored over 350 m of basin-fill stratigraphy primarily consisting of fluvio-deltaic deposits and lacustrine mudstones. Curiosity's findings have revolutionized our understanding of Mars: the planet had more igneous diversity than predicted, long-lived liquid water in rivers and lakes at the surface, environments that would have been habitable for life, multiple episodes of diagenetic fluids, and multiple cycles of crater fill and erosion. I will present the developing story of the history of the Gale crater basin, and the basin analysis work I have done to understand source-to-sink processes by separating effects from source rock diversity, sediment transport, and diagenetic influences for multiple sedimentary cycles.

It will be a high level educational and cultural/sensory experience that will enrich all participants – scientists and non-scientists alike! The trip will traverse back through time, starting with the spectacular, living stromatolites of Shark Bay, with a rare opportunity to swim with these protected microbial structures. Following this, we will visit the remote sites of fossilised stromatolites from the c. 1.8 Ga Duck Creek Dolomite and c. 2.4 Ga Turee Creek Group, and walk through the transition across the rise of atmospheric oxygen (the GOE). We will then camp at Karijini National Park and hike through a canyon with walls made of 2.5 Ga Banded Iron Formation (BIF), and swim at the beautiful Fortescue Falls. Following this will be a visit to stromatolites of the c. 2.7 Ga Fortescue Group, then the c. 3.35-3.49 Ga fossiliferous units of the Pilbara Craton, including newly discovered geyserite in the Dresser Formation, site of the oldest evidence for life on land.
Expect intense discussions about such topics as the timing of the origin of life and oxygenic photosynthesis, whether life ever was (or still is) on Mars, the composition of the Archean atmosphere, and the setting for the origin of life. As well as the science, we will enjoy some spectacular scenery, memorable campfire dinners, and sleeping under the southern stars.

LPI Seminar: When impacts impart: New insights into the delivery of water by impacts (Terik Daly, Johns Hopkins),
Lecture Hall
Dynamical models and observational evidence indicate that water-rich asteroids and comets deliver water to objects throughout the solar system, but the mechanisms by which this water is captured have been unclear. New experiments reveal that impact melts and breccias capture up to 30% of the water carried by carbonaceous chondrite–like projectiles under impact conditions typical of the main asteroid belt impact and the early phases of planet formation. This impactor-derived water resides in two distinct reservoirs: in impact melts and projectile survivors. Impact melt hosts the bulk of the delivered water. Entrapment of water within impact glasses and melt-bearing breccias is therefore a potential source of hydration features associated with craters on the Moon and elsewhere in the solar system and likely contributed to the early accretion of water during planet formation.

Unveiling the Physics of Protoplanet Formation: Connecting Theory to Observations,
Aspen, Colorado
Unprecedented high angular resolution imagery of circumstellar disks have revealed rings, spirals, and crescents in the gas and dust distribution around young (< 5 million years) pre-main sequence stars. These structures are the signposts of forming planetary systems, and probe the mass, orbit, and formation timescale of young planets. Observations have also revealed spatial variations of the dust particle sizes and changes in the chemical composition of the circumstellar gas. These constrain the processes responsible for the agglomeration of the large bodies (asteroids and comets) that are required to initiate the formation of rocky planets. The recent results stimulate a revision of planet formation models and push for new theoretical studies aimed at understanding the interactions between disks and planets, as well as the physics of solid particles in gaseous disks. The goal of this workshop is to bring together theorists and observers to collaborate on unveiling the key physical processes responsible for the formation of planets and the evolution of solids in protoplanetary disks.

The conditions prevalent in the deep interiors and atmospheric envelopes of solar system planets, their satellites as well as massive solid and gas giant extrasolar planets, respectively, and are not fully accessible by conventional experimental and theoretical methods. New and enabling techniques to be used in the HP/HT regime are based on the combination of intense pulsed x-ray sources with pulsed sample excitation, in particular but not exclusively related to high energy optical lasers. Simultaneously, ab initio simulations for matter under extreme conditions provide a more and more predictive data set for planetary interiors in this HP/HT regime.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together local and international experts in dust astrophysics and magnetic fields in order to discuss the following aspects: 1. Dust composition and dust coagulation from angstroms to centimeters to planetesimals, 2. Physics of dust polarization: grain alignment, scattering, and observational tests, 3. What is the role of magnetic fields on star and planet formation? 4. What can we learn from mm-cm dust polarization observations with VLA and ALMA Band 1: magnetic fields or grain growth? 5. Alternative ways to trace magnetic fields as a synergy to dust polarization, 6. Related important issues: turbulence, filaments, and shocks, 7. What dust astrophysics and magnetic fields are required for accurate modeling of CMB B-modes foregrounds?

5th International Conference on Artificial Light at Night 2018,
Salt Lake City, Utah
The ALAN conference series is dedicated to examining all aspects of artificial light at night. The broad scope of the conference includes how light is produced (e.g. technologies, industry, and lighting design), where it is present (e.g. remote sensing), what effects it has on humans and the environment (e.g. ecology), how it is perceived by the public (e.g. perceptions of safety and security), and how the benefits and detriments of lighting may be balanced by regulation.

2nd GeoPlaNet Thematic School — Fluid-Rock Interactions in the Solar System,
Nantes, France
This high-level training program in Planetary Geosciences will cover various aspects of these interactions through physics, chemistry, mineralogy, petrology, tectonics, geomorphology, and sedimentology. In addition to reporting on and comparing the most recent results derived from space missions in the solar system and observations on the Earth, the school will train participants in various techniques for observing, analysing, experimenting, and modelling the compositional and morphological aspects of fluid-rock interactions on all solid bodies of the solar system.

NASEM's Committee on Astrobiology and Planetary Science (CAPS),
Washington, D.C.
The CAPS will issue reports that will provide guidance to federal agencies that support astrobiology and planetary science research. The CAPS scope spans space-based and supporting ground-based planetary research within our own planetary system, including, for example, geosciences, atmospheres, particles, and fields of planets, moons, and small bodies, as well as astrobiology, planetary astronomy, and planetary protection. The CAPS's scope also includes appropriate cross-disciplinary areas and consideration of budget and programmatic aspects of the implementation of the decadal survey.
