3 YEAR POSTDOCTORAL POSITION IN MARS GLACIOLOGY - SHEFFIELD, UK

We are hiring a 3-year postdoctoral research associate in Mars
glaciology at the University of Sheffield in the UK. We are seeking
applicants with a background in Glaciology or Mars geomorphology to
combine GIS-based mapping of Martian glaciers with either:

a) Numerical ice flow modelling experiments, for example using the Ice
   Sheet and Sea Level System Model (ISSM) or a similar model.

and/or

b) The development of automated (e.g., deep learning) approaches to
   mapping and classification of glacier-surface morphologies and other
   ice-related terrains on Mars.

Applications are welcomed from individuals with relevant experience in
terrestrial glaciology.

The 3-year role forms part of a Royal Society University Research
Fellowship grant (2025-2033) led by Frances Butcher, entitled
"Unlocking Martian Climate Archives: The Glaciological Groundwork for
the First Ice Cores from Mars".

The description of the role, and application information can be found
here:

https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPR111/research-associate-in-mars-glaciology

Applications will close on 19 January 2026.

Please feel free to send enquiries via email.

Many thanks
Frances Butcher, University of Sheffield

[ABSCICON 2026] SESSION 47: REDOX REACTIONS AND HABITABILITY ON EARTH,
MARS AND BEYOND

Abstract Deadline: 23:59 EST/03:59 UTC on 14 January 2026.

Session Link:

https://agu.confex.com/agu/abscicon26/prelim.cgi/Session/275767

Redox (reduction-oxidation chemistry) reactions fundamentally shape
planetary habitability by controlling energy availability, atmospheric
composition, and biogeochemical cycling. This session explores how
redox chemistry influences habitability across diverse planetary
environments, from Earth to Mars and other worlds. We invite
contributions from geochemistry, microbiology, remote sensing, and
atmospheric chemistry that examine redox processes in any planetary
context. Topics may include: redox gradients as energy sources for
life, records of redox conditions in ancient environments, oxidant
production and consumption in planetary atmospheres and surfaces,
mineral-mediated electron transfer, potential biosignatures linked to
redox cycling such as recent discoveries on Mars by the Perseverance
rover, and the co-evolution of life and planetary redox states. We
particularly encourage submissions that compare redox environments
across multiple worlds, integrate laboratory and field observations
with planetary data, or connect microscale redox reactions to
planetary-scale habitability.

Conveners: Melissa Rice, Adrian Broz

[ABSCICON 2026] SESSION 61: ENCELADUS: ACTIVE, ENIGMATIC AND
IRRESISTIBLE

Abstract Deadline: 23:59 EST/03:59 UTC on 14 January 2026.

Session Link:

https://agu.confex.com/agu/abscicon26/prelim.cgi/Session/275238

Saturn's moon Enceladus is a geologically active and habitable ocean
world, offering fresh opportunities to search for signatures of
potential extant life. The most accessible ocean material beyond Earth
erupts from the internal plumbing system of Enceladus, forming a plume
that modifies the space environment at Saturn. We welcome the community
to submit contributions focusing on astrobiology and enabling
processes, including but not limited to: life detection approaches,
organic chemistry, plume formation and eruption mechanisms,
cryovolcanism, ice fracturing and other tectonic processes, ocean
circulation, water-rock reactions, tidal heating, Enceladus's
formation, history, and internal structure, and cross comparisons with
other ocean worlds including Earth and Europa. Observational,
theoretical, laboratory, and field analogue investigations are all
welcome.

Conveners: Morgan Cable, Amanda Hendrix, Sarah Johnson, Cynthia
Phillips

[ABSCICON 2026] SESSION 63: FROM SUBSURFACE TO SURFACE AND PLUME - HOW
EJECTION AFFECTS ERUPTED MATERIAL ON ICY OCEAN WORLDS

Abstract Deadline: 23:59 EST/03:59 UTC on 14 January 2026.

Session Link:

https://agu.confex.com/agu/abscicon26/prelim.cgi/Session/275183

Several icy moons and dwarf planets display evidence of volcanic
activity. Such cryovolcanism can express material from subsurface
liquid reservoirs onto the surface or in plumes, where it can be
observed and accessed by spacecraft. Although eruption provides an
opportunity to assess the habitability and presence of life in
subsurface environments, the temperature, pressure and phase changes
undergone by erupted material can alter its properties that are crucial
to astrobiological investigation of the subsurface. This session
welcomes contributions based on -or combining- theoretical,
experimental, mission data analysis, or field work to further the
understanding of linkages between properties of surface or plume
materials and those of their subsurface source, particularly those
properties related to habitability and the search for life.

Conveners: Marc Neveu, Wanying Kang, Lucas Fifer, & Mariam Naseem

[ABSCICON 2026] SESSION 88: EXPLORING SELF-ASSEMBLY AND
SELF-ORGANIZATION - FROM PREBIOTIC MOLECULES TO THE EMERGENCE OF
ORGANIC COMPLEXITY AND IMPLICATIONS TOWARDS THE FUTURE EXPLORATION OF
OCEAN WORLDS

Abstract Deadline: 23:59 EST/03:59 UTC on 14 January 2026.

Session Link:

https://agu.confex.com/agu/abscicon26/prelim.cgi/Session/275178

A central challenge in astrobiology is to understand how chemical
reactions made the transition from simple molecular building blocks to
the first biological entities. This session invites contributions that
examine this critical step-from the self-organization of simple organic
molecules into complex reaction networks, abiotic micelles, vesicles,
and protocells, to the emergence of the first cells. By bridging
experimental chemistry, systems biology, and planetary science, the
session aims to highlight cross-disciplinary pathways for information
transfer, energy exchange, and the rise of cellularity under conditions
considered habitable. We welcome recent and ongoing advances spanning
laboratory experiments, fieldwork and modeling with specific
applications for biosignature detections on ocean worlds within our
Solar System and on exoplanets.

Conveners: Anastasia Yanchilina, Jessica Weber, Silke Asche, and
Alexandre Champagne-Ruel.

EUROPLANET JUICE WEBINAR: RADAR SOUNDING OF THE EARTH'S POLAR REGIONS
AND THE JOVIAN ICY MOONS

11 December at 15:30 CET (14:30 UTC)

Radar sounders can penetrate ice to depths of several kilometers and
play a crucial role in studying the subsurface of the Earth and other
planetary bodies. Extensive experience has been gained from air-borne
radar sounders dedicated to Earth observation. The ESA Juice mission is
carrying the Radar for Icy Moons Exploration (RIME) instrument. This
presentation will outline the current status of radar sounding for
Earth observation and its connection to RIME's science, highlighting
the key scientific objectives, technical challenges, and expected
scientific returns of the exploration of the Jupiter icy moons.

The talk will be presented by Lorenzo Bruzzone, the PI of RIME, from
the University of Trento, Italy.
