Be sure to save the date and plan to attend, either in person or online: https://aas.org/meetings/dps55 Being a joint meeting with the Europlanet Society (EPS) the topics cover all areas of planetary science, including those beyond the astronomical topics traditionally related to AAS/DPS meetings. As a hybrid meeting, we anticipate a large attendance both in person at the Marriott Rivercenter Hotel in San Antonio Texas and online. Solar eclipse aficionados and educators will enjoy an adjacent workshop on solar eclipse planning held on 29-30 September 2023: https://eclipse.aas.org/workshops Return to the websites above and watch #DPSEPSC2023 on social media for more details to come! Kurt Retherford (Local Host) Catherine Neish (DPS Chair) Lena Noack (EPSC Chair) 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 SOLAR WIND 16: REGISTRATION OPEN Registration is open for the Solar Wind 16 meeting, to be held June 12-16, 2023 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds on the Monterey Peninsula in California. Asilomar was the site of the Solar Wind 2 and 3 meetings, in 1971 and 1974 respectively, and is especially well-suited to informal discussion. The meeting will be organized around a group of 'scene-setting' talks which will describe the state-of-the-art in topics of solar wind heating and acceleration mechanisms, solar wind sources, transients, interaction with planets, and the relationship to broader problems in astrophysics. Contributed talks and posters will be organized around these scene-setting talks and there will be plenty of time for open discussion. A goal of the meeting is to come away from the week with some consensus as the state of the field and ideas about where to go next. The new measurements from DKIST, Solar Orbiter, and Parker Solar Probe will frame these discussion and make this Solar Wind meeting especially timely. This meeting will also take the 2023 place of the annual 'Parker' series.

It is under development, but a large number of data sets and formats are already supported, and it is ready for general use. Please find documentation, installation instructions, a list of currently supported data sets, and a form to request prioritization of support for specific data sets at: https://github.com/millionconcepts/pdr 13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13-13 OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS TO AN ICARUS SPECIAL ISSUE ON SOLAR SYSTEM ICES Ices in the Solar System: origin, evolution and distribution Ices, whether composed of frozen water or other frozen species, are ubiquitous in the Solar System. They have been observed, deduced, and/or hypothesized on bodies large and small and at, near, or buried below surfaces. They are ephemeral, periodic, or relatively long-standing and stable. They can be at or near-thaw temperatures on some bodies and far away from thaw on others. Ice origins are as diverse as the species themselves and the locations where they are observed, deduced, or hypothesized. Some ices date back to the origin of the Solar System; others do not and may be much more recent if not contemporary. This special issue aims to fuse a diverse group of early-, mid-, and senior-career planetary scientists whose work focuses on ices and provide a dynamic platform for presenting and exchanging their most current observations, interpretations, hypotheses, and/or explanations. Discussion of mission-exploration plans and options, current and/or proposed, also would be welcomed. https://tinyurl.com/4buysn8b 14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14-14 PLANETARY SCIENCE ADVISORY COMMITTEE NOMINATIONS The Planetary Science Advisory Committee (PAC) supports the advisory needs of the Planetary Science Division (PSD), the Science Mission Directorate (SMD), and other mission directorates as required, as well as the NASA Administrator. The advisory scope of the PAC includes all aspects of NASA's planetary science program, including scientific research; considerations of the development of near-term enabling technologies, systems, and computing and information management capabilities; and developments with the potential to provide long-term improvements in future mission operational systems. Responsibility for biological planetary protection is outside the purview of the PAC. NASA's PSD is extending an invitation for nominations for service on the PAC. Interested members of the community are invited to review the charter and to submit nominations (including self-nominations) for consideration to fill vacancies on the Committee.
