Boxberg | Co-conveners: Hans Huybrighs, Ana-Catalina Plesa, Stephanie Cazaux, Simon C. Stahler The goal of this multidisciplinary session is to bring together scientists from different fields, including planetary sciences and the cryosphere community, to discuss the current status and next steps in the in-situ exploration of the icy moons of our Solar System. We welcome contributions from analogue studies, on the results of current and past missions, planned missions, mission concepts, lessons learned from other missions, and more. Contributions bridging the cryosphere-icy moons communities are of particular interest to this session. 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 EGU23 SESSION PS4.4/PS4: SCIENTIFIC RESULTS FROM THE EMIRATES MARS MISSION PRIMARY MISSION Please consider submitting an abstract to the session on Scientific results from the Emirates Mars Mission primary mission (PS4.4/PS4) at the EGU General Assembly 2023. EGU23 will be facilitating online and in-person participation in Vienna, Austria, 23-28 April 2023. The abstract deadline is 10 January 2023 (13:00 CET), and the deadline for support applications is 1 December 2022 (13:00 CET). The Emirates Mars Mission spacecraft orbiting Mars will complete its primary science mission (one Mars year) in early 2023. Scientific observations emphasize measurements of the behavior of the atmosphere, including the lower atmosphere down to the surface (and including interactions with the surface), the upper atmosphere and ionosphere, and the magnetosphere and interactions with the solar wind. The focus is on understanding diurnal, geographical (latitude/longitude/local solar time), and temporal variations, and the physical and dynamical coupling between the different components of the atmosphere and upper atmosphere, throughout a Mars year. This session will focus on the major scientific results from the mission and plans for the extended mission.

The abstract deadline is 10 January 2023 (13:00 CET), but those seeking travel support should submit their abstract by 1 December 2022 (13:00 CET). The Ice Giant System Science Exploration session welcomes papers addressing ice giant system science, including the composition, dynamics, and processes shaping ice giant atmospheres, interiors, magnetospheres, satellites, and rings. The session particularly encourages papers addressing the results from the anticipated James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of the Uranus and Neptune systems, along with new insights from ground-based observations. Additionally, due to the prioritization of a Uranus Flagship mission in the recent NASA Planetary Science Decadal Survey, papers related to future ice giant system exploration, instrumentation, mission concepts, technology developments, and international cooperation are of significant interest.

Please send your Mercury community announcements and calendar items for inclusion in the newsletter to the MExAG Steering Committee at mexag.sc@gmail.com. 14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14 THERMAL MODELING FOR PLANETARY SCIENCE WORKSHOP: 18-20 APRIL 2023 We are pleased to announce the 4th Workshop on Thermal Models for Planetary Science will take place 18-20 April 2023. TherMoPS IV will be held at the European Space Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, The Netherlands. https://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/thermops4/ Thermal modelling in planetary sciences has experienced an extraordinary growth in recent years in response to a profusion of new data. In addition to orbital and ground-based observations of planets and moons, new thermal infrared data has become available for hundreds of thousands of asteroids, comets, transneptunian objects as well as dust in our Solar System. Furthermore, infrared radiation is also commonly used to study exoplanets and protoplanetary discs around other stars. New observations of temperature-driven phenomena on diverse Solar System bodies motivates the development of more sophisticated thermal models. This meeting, the fourth in the Thermal Models for Planetary Science workshops follows and builds on the first three https://www-n.oca.eu/thermops/ https://research.iac.es/congreso/thermopsii/index.html https://thermops2019.hu/ For more information, see the meeting website, or contact Paul Hayne (paul.hayne@colorado.edu) or Elliot Sefton-Nash (LOC chair, Elliot.Sefton-Nash@esa.int) [Edited for length] 15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15-15 SAVE THE DATE: OXYGEN IN PLANETARY BIOSPHERES Green Bank Observatory May 5-7, 2023 We are pleased to announce the Second Barry Blumberg Memorial Workshop in Astrobiology. This 3-day workshop at the Green Bank Observatory will focus on topics related to the role of oxygen in the universe, planets and life, and how the rise of oxygen on Earth may (or may not) likely have analogs on other planets. Attendance is limited to 50 participants, by application only, and all registration and travel expenses will be covered. The conference scope should be construed broadly; researchers working on any related problems are strongly encouraged to apply. Recognizing the challenges the pandemic has presented for networking over the past several years, this workshop will have a strong focus on early career researchers, and will have broad international participation. Presenters are encouraged to gear their talks to an interdisciplinary audience, eschewing the trees of internecine disciplinary debates for the forest of broader understanding. The full workshop description is here: https://tinyurl.com/vztbme3s The call for applications and abstract submission announcements will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. 16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16-16 OPPORTUNITIES FOR PHD RESEARCH IN PLANETARY SCIENCE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO The Solar System and Exoplanet Habitability research group at the University of Chicago studies Solar System and exoplanet habitability, with a planetary geoscience focus. https://sseh.uchicago.edu Applications are encouraged from prospective graduate students who would like to pursue research in one or more of the following areas: - Paleoclimate modeling for Mars (e.g. global circulation models, hydrologic models) - Mars rover operations and science (Kite is a Participating Scientist on the Curiosity rover) - Mars data analysis (both orbiters and rovers) - Early Mars - geologic proxies for paleoclimate (e.g. paleohydrology) - Theoretical modeling for small-radius exoplanets, e.g. abiotic false positives, and JWST data analysis (hot rocky exoplanets). - Terraforming For more information about possible projects, please email Edwin Kite (PI): kite@uchicago.edu. Graduate students receive full financial support including tuition, health insurance, and a salary. Prospective graduate students should apply through the Department of Geophysical Sciences: https://geosci.uchicago.edu/prospective_students The deadline for applications is 19 December, 2022. Planetary science research at the University of Chicago has approximately doubled in scope over the past 6 years and covers the full gamut of planetary science and exoplanet research. https://geosci.uchicago.edu/research/planetary-sciences-and-cosmochemistry PHD POSITION IN HAZE & CLOUD INTERACTION AT UNIVERSITE DE REIMS CHAMPAGNE ARDENNE, FRANCE Dr. Panayotis Lavvas is seeking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student to study the interplay between haze and clouds in Titan's atmosphere. Hazes formed in Titan's upper atmosphere partake in the formation of clouds in the lower stratosphere due to the condensation of multiple photochemical products. Cassini observations reveal that the cloud composition can vary drastically depending on latitude and season, due to local changes in temperature and condensates. However, heterogeneous processes on the surface of hazes and clouds are poorly understood, while the role of cosmic rays in cloud formation requires further attention. The goal of this thesis is to improve our understanding of haze and cloud coupling at different regions of Titan's atmosphere, by combining detailed models of photochemistry/microphysics with input from dedicated laboratory experiments and constraints from Cassini observations. Candidates should have programming experience, while relative background in astronomy/planetary science is welcomed. The position opens in early 2023. For further details see: https://doctorat.campusfrance.org/CF202227797 To apply contact: panayotis.lavvas@univ-reims.fr 17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17-17 UMD ASTRONOMY PDS-SBN POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP The Department of Astronomy at the University of Maryland (UMD), College Park, is offering a postdoctoral fellowship position in small body data science, including support duties with the Small Bodies Node (SBN) of NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS).
