Bob's research interests were exceptionally broad, and the symposium organizers are eager to see all of them represented. Following the symposium there will be a Bob-style banquet at an appropriate restaurant in Berkeley.

Please note: to accommodate some of our remote presenters, there has been a significant rearrangement of the schedule from that last posted. 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 AGU SPECIAL SESSION P004 - CHARACTERIZING SMALL SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES The composition and physical properties of Small Solar System Bodies (SSSBs), remnants of the formation of planets, are key to better understand our solar system. Increased knowledge of their surface properties and their potential as resources are also necessary to prepare for robotic and human exploration. Hints about the internal structure and composition of SSSBs have been acquired recently thanks to flyby/rendezvous data from space missions, study of multiple asteroid systems, or close encounter between asteroids. This session welcomes abstracts on the internal structure and composition of SSSBs based on space and ground-based data, numerical models, and instrument/mission concepts in the prospect of future exploration. Conveners: Franck Marchis (SETI Institute) Julie Castillo-Rogez (JPL) Abstract Deadline - Tuesday, 6 August 2013 San Francisco, CA (Dec 9-13 2013) https://fallmeeting.agu.org/2013/scientific-program/session-search /sessions/p004-characterizing-small-solar-system-bodies/ 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 AGU SESSION P005 - DESTINATION: EUROPA With the recent flurry of activity surrounding the Europa Clipper mission and ongoing interest in Europa exploration, we invite you to participate in an exciting session at AGU. The Destination: Europa session seeks to raise the level of discussion about Europa, encourage new hypotheses and to integrate geology, geophysics and astrobiology to motivate new Europa science and get the community excited about future exploration of this exciting moon. Europa is one of the most compelling bodies in the search for life. Given growing support for a new Europa mission such as Europa Clipper, this session will present perspectives from a wide range of geological, geophysical and ultimately astrobiological backgrounds that are forward-looking to what questions the next Europa mission could answer. We invite presentations that present cross-cutting themes related to the physical nature of Europa and its habitability. We encourage presenters to utilize new or existing data, compelling terrestrial analogs, and theoretical models to advance new hypotheses or revisit and refresh the state-of-the-art in Europa science, and address how these ideas relate to future Europa exploration. Abstracts are due August 6.

This activity includes planet-encircling dust storms about every 3-4 Mars years and associated surface changes, along with evolution of the polar caps. High-resolution imaging has revealed new impact sites, migrating sand, and a suite of processes on slopes, some of which may involve liquid water. The distribution of shallow ice is much better known, with implications for recent climate change. Manuscripts resulting from these unique, long-term observations will be due at the end of 2013 for a special section of Icarus, so this conference is an ideal time to present the results. 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 AGU SESSION P010 - FIRST RESULTS OF C/2012 S1 (ISON): COMET OF THE CENTURY? Comet C/2102 S1, popularly known as C/ISON, is a sun-grazing comet, originating in the Oort cloud. It is predicted to be the brightest comet of the century and has captured the interest of global professional and amateur astronomers alike. On its initial passage through the inner solar system, C/ISON potentially can become a very bright daytime object as it approaches perihelion in November 2013. Whether the comet lives up to the predictions or not, first results from various world-wide coordinated observing campaigns, including an armada of spacecraft, orbiting telescopes and ground-based professional and amateur facilities will be showcased.

While the evolution of our own planet, the Earth, is constrained by geological and geochemical data, the evolutionary paths of other planetary bodies must be determined from planetary mission data and astronomical observations. The discoveries of extrasolar planets greatly expand the interests of the scientific community and provide a new opportunity for interdisciplinary collaborations between geoscientists, astronomers, and planetary scientists. The session welcomes both observational and theoretical studies relevant to the evolution of planetary objects in and outside of our solar system (including the Earth). 9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9 AGU SESSION P021 - POLARIMETRY AS AN INVALUABLE TOOL TO STUDY THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND BEYOND Polarimetry is a powerful tool providing a wealth of information about Earth and planetary atmospheres; solar system objects, exoplanets and search for habitability beyond Earth that cannot be obtained by traditional photometric and spectroscopic observations. This session is open to papers about advances in vector radiative transfer theory (including non-sphericity effects on single scattering); laboratory measurements and instrumentation for the characterization of solar, terrestrial, planetary and exoplanetary atmospheres; atmosphereless bodies; dust; astrobiological markers; and instrumental developments for imaging and spectropolarimeters to be included in ground-based facilities and/or onboard space missions.

However, there is also a rising demographics of citizen science users that provide data sets for professionals or inverse citizen science application. The blurring of the data scientist and data user is a shift from the current paradigm of citizen science. This session invites papers on methodology, applications of citizen science to outreach, research, transformative approaches to science education and the future of citizen science.

The intent of this workshop is to ensure successful technology maturation that leads to direct mission insertion to enable science missions that are not feasible today. The workshop will provide mission designers with insight into woven TPS technology, design studies performed to-date, capability requirements identified and technology development risks and risk mitigation strategies. The goal is to engage the end user community to improve the focus of current development in order to enable and feed the technology into upcoming Discovery and New Frontier proposals. The event will be held 8:30-11:30 am PDT on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California and via WebEx. This workshop will be ITAR restricted and participants are required to be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents. All attendees must register in advance and attendance may be restricted.

In addition, this program supports the restoration and archiving of unarchived or incomplete mission datasets, the digitization of nondigital data, and the production of higher-order mission data products. The PMDAP also supports the use of archived planetary data from other NASA and non-NASA missions. The final text for the PMDAP AO replaces the draft text in its entirety. Many changes have been made so prospective proposers should read the text carefully. Notices of Intent are requested by August 16, 2013, and proposals are due October 11, 2013.
