The workshop aim is to shorten the gap for astronomers in understanding the contemporary problems in dynamics and physics and the requirements set up to observations. We plan to discuss the synergy of dynamics and physics of these bodies, giving the possibility for analysis of their observations and the corresponding follow-up programs. Workshop website: http://www.asteroid2019.space Topics: - Small Solar System bodies and natural satellites - Analysis of their observations (astrometry, photometry, polarimetry, spectroscopy, occultations) - Gaia catalog and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope - Follow up programs Keynote speakers abstract submission: July 1 Abstract on-line submission: August 4 The poster is also available: https://asteroid2019.space/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/poster_A2_good. pdf We kindly ask you to distribute this info to all possibly interested colleagues.

The main aim of this SAG was to identify and prioritize fundamental science questions related to the recent and ongoing evolution of Mars volatiles and climate, and to explore new mission approaches that could address these high-priority science questions during the coming decade (2023-2032). The Final ICE-SAG report is not yet fully complete, but the ICE-SAG Co-Chairs and MEPAG Executive Committee agreed to post a Pre-print version so as to provide the community with access to the report content before the end of May. The Preprint version of the ICE-SAG final report can be found at: https://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/reports.cfm?expand=topical. In this Pre-print, the report content is overall set, but some formatting/cleanup is still needed and Appendix C will be added. The links between sections will also be fixed. The final and clean document is expected to be posted by end of June, and will be announced in the Mars Science newsletter. The MEPAG Executive Committee & ICE-SAG members hope this document will be a useful resource for the community. 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR POSITIONS AVAILABLE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN ONTARIO, CANADA The University of Western Ontario (Western) has announced an open call for Canada Research Chair positions: https://www.uwo.ca/facultyrelations/careers/pdf/crc-special-call- adverstisement.pdf One of the key requirements for these positions is alignment with Western's research areas, which can be found here: https://www.uwo.ca/research/excellence/index.html.
