Planet Formation: From Dust Coagulation to Final Orbit Assembly,
Garching, Germany
The collective properties of the currently known ~ 4000 extrasolar planets have left no doubt that planetary systems come in a variety of sizes and orbital configurations. These diverse characteristics of planetary systems, combined with new observational data of our solar system, have raised many questions on the processes involved in the formation of planetary bodies and their dynamical evolution. This programme will bring together experts with complementary expertise in observation, theory, solar system and extrasolar planets to assess the current status of planet formation models, highlight problems in each formation stage, and explore the possibility of developing comprehensive models that can be applied to different planetary systems.

7th Mars Atmosphere Modelling and Observations Workshop,
Paris, France
Following the successful previous editions, the 7th Mars Atmosphere Modelling and Observations conference will bring together experts in observations and modelling of the present and past Mars climate systems. We will discuss the nature of the atmospheric circulation and the photochemistry (up to the thermosphere), the dust cycle, the water cycle (vapor, clouds and frost) and the carbon dioxide cycle (polar caps). This workshop was originally planned on June 8-11 2020 but had to be postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemia. In 2022 the meeting is designed to be face-to-face . You are welcome in Paris!

LPI Seminar: Constraining the genetics of Earth’s late-stage accretion (Katherine Bermingham, Rutgers University),
Virtual
Earth formed from the sequential addition of Solar System-derived bodies sourced from different heliocentric distances. Understanding the origin of Earth, therefore, requires knowledge of from where in the Solar System and when Earth’s building blocks accreted. The silicate Earth, however, has been mixed for over 4.5 billion years via geodynamical processes. Undoubtedly, these processes led to the attenuation of any original discrete chemical fingerprints inherited from Earth’s building blocks. Determining Earth’s building blocks and their relative timing of accretion, however, is possible if the compositions (i.e., genetics) of remnant planetary building blocks are contrasted with mantle-derived geochemical data that track different stages of Earth accretion history. An approach is to progressively go back in time through a study of siderophile (iron-loving) elements Mo and Ru to identify the genetic signatures of dominant building blocks during Earth’s final stages of accretion (i.e., during and following core formation). The modern Bulk Silicate Earth (BSE) Mo and Ru isotopic estimates provide cumulative yet complementary genetic information about Earth’s building blocks. Constraining, to high precision, the Mo and Ru BSE estimate is required to identify the dominant genetic signature of material accreted. Furthermore, discovery of anomalous Mo and/or Ru isotopic compositions of mantle domains would pinpoint the genetic components of late-stage building blocks. Katherine Bermingham (Rutgers University) will discuss results of high precision Mo and Ru isotope analyses of terrestrial materials and how these data place constraints on the genetics of Earth’s late-stage building blocks.
