BERGSTRALH (1944-2019) It is with great sadness that we report the death of our colleague, Dr. Jay T. Bergstralh on February 16, 2019, at age 75 after a long battle with progressive aphasia and dementia. At JPL he conducted original research on the atmospheres of Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus and on Jupiter's satellite, Io, primarily from ground-based astronomy; he also worked on the Voyager mission Photopolarimeter System team. He took on the role of Science Organizing Chair for the first American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences meeting in Pasadena, California, in 1978. While at JPL he also became the first Chair of the DPS from a NASA field center in 1986-1987. Following the Voyager flyby, he organized a conference on the Uranus system and was the lead editor of the comprehensive book Uranus, published in 1991 by the University of Arizona Press. During his tenure at NASA Headquarters, Jay managed the Planetary Atmospheres research grants program, became the Associate Director for Solar System Exploration and Program Scientist for the Galileo, Cassini, Europa Orbiter and Messenger missions, and for the Discovery Program.

We look forward to receiving your abstracts for this theme and the following session in particular: "High-spatial resolution studies of small-scale and complex extraterrestrial and terrestrial samples". Investigations of heterogeneous samples like meteorites, interplanetary dust particles, or returned mission samples require the application of high-spatial resolution analytical techniques to minimize sample destruction and maximize contextual information. This also applies to a wide variety of terrestrial rocks and experimental analogues that document the evolution of planetary bodies (e.g., impact-generated lithologies, shocked minerals, fluid/mineral inclusions, high-pressure/ high-temperature experiments, synthetic nanomaterials). In this session, we welcome contributions from geo-cosmochemistry-material sciences disciplines that make use of high-spatial resolution methods (e.g., electron microscopy, laser-ablation and secondary ion mass spectrometry, atom probe tomography, Raman spectroscopy, and synchrotron radiation techniques) that improve our understanding of small-scale chemical, isotopic and structural properties and processes. Cross-disciplinary contributions giving possible new insights into old problems are particularly encouraged.

PSSS is a 12-week long career development experience from May 20 - August 9, 2019, with an onsite culminating week August 5-9, 2019 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. During the 11 weeks of virtual webinar sessions and the onsite culminating week at JPL, student teams will carry out the equivalent of an early mission concept study, prepare a proposal authorization presentation, present it to a review board, and receive feedback. By the end of the experience, students will have a clearer understanding of the life cycle of a space mission; relationships between mission design, cost, and schedule; and the tradeoffs necessary to stay within cost and schedule while preserving the quality of science. Applications are due April 1, 2019. Partial financial support is available for a limited number of individuals.

However, the role of magnetic fields in the formation and evolution of disks around young stars is still a poorly understood topic. Are protoplanetary disks and protostellar jets magnetized? Polarimetric observations are the primary means to obtain information regarding the magnetic fields. However, this technique can be hampered by other polarization mechanisms such as dust self scattering, radiation alignment of aspherical grains or anisotropic resonant scattering of linear polarization of molecular lines. The main goal of this focused meeting is to bring together observers and theoreticians interested in the study of magnetic fields in protoplanetary disks and protostellar jets as well as polarization mechanisms to review the current state of the research and explore effective means to probe magnetic fields.
