We seek contributions spanning a range of topics fundamental to how Enceladus works and whether it might host life. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) Enceladus's origin and orbital evolution, plume physics and subsurface plumbing, surface geology, chemistry, and ice tectonics, interior structure, subsurface ocean composition and dynamics, hydrothermal activity, organic evolution and the possible emergence of life, habitability through time, and biosignature potential. We will foster a collegial atmosphere and promote diverse perspectives. We encourage the participation of planetary scientists, astrobiologists, astronomers, microbiologists, geologists, geophysicists, geochemists, volcanologists, and oceanographers. Results from analogue field work, Cassini and telescopic data analyses, modeling studies, laboratory experiments, and mission/instrument development are welcome, as are comparisons with other ocean worlds. This session will showcase the vibrancy of our community to cap off another year of exciting advancements. Please submit here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/186494 Abstracts are due Wednesday, 2 August 2023. We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco and online!

New measurements from the Juno and Cassini missions have recently revealed novel fundamental aspects of the interiors of Jupiter and Saturn. The recently prioritized Uranus Orbiter and Probe flagship-class mission motivates new studies of Uranus to set the stage for the acquisition and retrieval of a wealth of new data. Here we will bring together theory and observations capable of advancing our understanding of giant planet interiors within the Solar System and beyond. We welcome submissions within a broad range of topics, including: ring and Doppler seismology, gravity fields, normal mode oscillations, zonal flows and differential rotation, dynamo magnetic fields, core detection and characterization, stable stratification, helium and heavy element bulk composition, formation scenarios, and evolutionary pathways. We welcome submissions until the abstract deadline August 2, 2023: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/186541 Conveners: Benjamin Idini, Ravit Helled, Daniele Durante, and Scott Bolton 10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10 GSA SESSION T32: ENGAGING THE PUBLIC IN SCIENCE - PROMOTING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR WORLD AND BEYOND Are you a geoscientist or educator managing or participating in a program with the goal of strengthening and diversifying the future STEM workforce? Please consider submitting an abstract to the GSA Connects 2023 topical session "Engaging the Public in Science: Promoting a Deeper Understanding of Our World and Beyond." The session will highlight programs and projects utilizing evidence-based strategies to engage public audiences, particularly underrepresented communities, in science disciplines across the geosciences. Potential submitters are strongly encouraged to share lessons learned and/or include evaluation data demonstrating program, or project, success. Abstract deadline: Tuesday, July 25, 11:59 PM Pacific Time https://tinyurl.com/4jytxar8 11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11 PHD STUDENT IN SPACE PHYSICS FOR STUDIES OF SPACE WEATHER The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is seeking a highly motivated individual to join a space-weather research project to investigate geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) in the Swedish power grid. The project is part of an ongoing collaboration between IRF, the Swedish Research Defence Agency, the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency, and Svenska Kraftnat to improve awareness and resilience to space weather effects in Sweden. GICs are unwanted currents that flow in ground-based infrastructure caused by varying conditions in space, often due to plasma eruptions from the Sun. They can cause physical damage and lead to disruptions such as blackouts, and thus, it is of high societal importance to mitigate this hazard. One of the outstanding questions is identifying the transmission lines at risk to GICs in Sweden. The PhD project will focus on evaluating and understanding the causes of GICs in Sweden using state-of-the-art ground- and space-based experimental data, advanced plasma simulations, as well as 3D ground conductivity modelling. The position is available at the Uppsala office at IRF, located at the Angstrom Laboratory.

In this workshop we introduce the basic principles of photogrammetry and the skills necessary to make a Digital Terrain Model from stereo image pairs. Participants will go through the process of creating a DTM and orthorectified images with a HiRISE stereo pair using BAE's SOCET SET software and 3D hardware. We will also cover the use of Ames Stereo Pipeline and Structure-from-Motion (SfM) using Agisoft Metashape. The workshop is intended for researchers at any level who want to learn to generate their own stereo products. No prior expertise is required. Due to the specialized hardware required, attendance is in-person only and is limited to 10 people. There is no fee to attend, but participants are responsible for their own travel expenses. Thanks to support from NASA's Topical Workshops, Symposia, and Conferences (TWSC) program, we offer two travel grants of up to $2000 each that focus on new planetary students from underrepresented communities (applications are due August 12th).

The conference aims to bring together scientists from the magnetospheric, ionospheric, and planetary communities to review the recent discoveries in light of recent space missions and numerical simulations, and to discuss the current status and future direction of substorm research. The meeting will be a hybrid meeting with online components. But we strongly encourage in-person participation, since the conference series are known for the atmosphere of lively discussions. We will start each day with a tutorial lecture on a specific topic, and we will provide sufficient time for questions and dialogues in each session. The abstract submission is now open at the meeting website: https://ics15.cssr.org.cn/ Registration and housing pages will be open soon. The deadline for abstract submission is July 31, 2023. We look forward to meeting you in China!
