Organized by LPI/USRA *

October 2021

3-8	53rd Meeting of the AAS Division for Planetary Sciences, Virtual  DPS will bring all the coolest and most cutting-edge planetary science to you wherever you are, bringing even more opportunities for scientific discussions and opportunities to connect with your colleagues. Also, this year's annual meeting will be augmented with asynchronously scheduled professional development workshops intended to smooth career transitions and foster new opportunities.
4-29	Gaps, Rings, Spirals, and Vortices: Structure Formation in Planet-Forming Disks, Munich, Germany  Planets are formed inside the ubiquitous disks found around young stars. The unprecedented resolution and sensitivity of ALMA and high contrast infrared imagers have revealed spectacular features, such as gaps, rings, spirals, and vortices. It is now clear that disks are much more complex, dynamic objects than previously thought and a full explanation of the richness and diversity of features presents a formidable challenge to modelers. This MIAPP program will bring together theorists and observers of circumstellar disks to join forces to decipher these observations and find new ways to probe the processes that drive disk evolution. The program format emphasizes time for discussions and collaborative work with a small number of focused presentations intended to foster interactions.
6-8	Space Tech Expo USA, Long Beach, California  Space Tech Expo 2021 will highlight the latest in investment and manufacturing for space, and will focus on optimization through various technologies, including new ways of manufacturing such as the challenges and opportunities of implementing industry 4.0 technologies on the manufacturing floor and into the space supply chain.
10-13	Geological Society of America, Portland, Oregon  GSA Connects - the annual fall GSA meeting - will be held in Portland, OR October 10-13, 2021. Currently 15 planetary-themed sessions are scheduled on topics ranging from volcanism and impact cratering to Venus to Mars to analogue research to planetary science education.

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.
