PLANETARY GEOLOGY AT 2024 SEPM INTERNATIONAL SEDIMENTARY GEOSCIENCE
CONFERENCE

Abstract submissions are now open for the 2024 SEPM International
Sedimentary Geoscience Conference (ISGC) that will be held 5-8 May 2024
in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA. Of interest to this community is the
session titled "Planetary Sedimentary Geology". Abstracts topics
concerning all aspects of planetary sedimentology are welcome. Details
on the conference and how to submit abstracts can be found at:

https://www.sepm.org/ISGC

The abstract submission deadline is 15 October 2023.

[NASA] ROSES-23: C.23 ANALOG ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT ARTEMIS LUNAR
OPERATIONS NOT SOLICITED THIS YEAR

When it is solicited, C.23 Analog Activities to Support Artemis Lunar
Operations supports high-fidelity science operations and operations
constraints through Artemis human analog mission campaigns, including,
but not limited to, Joint Extravehicular Activity (EVA) Test Team
(JETT) and Desert Research and Technology Studies (D-RATS).

C.23 Analog Activities to Support Artemis Lunar Operations will not be
solicited this year. However, it is anticipated that it will be
solicited in ROSES-2024. Go to:

https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023

Direct questions to Sarah Noble at sarah.k.noble@nasa.gov.

[NASA] ROSES-23: F.10 PRISM NOT SOLICITED THIS YEAR

In years when it is offered, F.10 Payloads and Research Investigations
on the Surface of the Moon (PRISM) solicits proposals for
investigations that include development and flight of science-driven
suites of instruments to be delivered to specific sites on the lunar
surface by the Commercial Lunar Payload Services (CLPS).

F.10 PRISM, which was TBD, will not be solicited this year.

However, NASA plans that F.11 Stand-Alone Landing Site-Agnostic
Payloads and Research Investigations on the Surface of the Moon will
still be solicited in ROSES-2023 and NASA intends to solicit a PRISM
program element in ROSES-2024.

Go to: https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023

Questions concerning F.10 PRISM may be directed to Ryan Watkins,
Debra Needham, and Brad Bailey, all of whom may be reached at
HQ-PRISM@mail.nasa.gov.

POSTDOC POSITIONS IN LUNAR DUST MITIGATION AT UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND

The Planetary Surfaces and Spacecraft Lab at the University of
Maryland, College Park is hiring multiple postdoctoral researchers. We
are looking for experimentalists with experience working with vacuum
systems, plasma physics, and/or granular materials and an interest in
developing technology to remove lunar regolith from spacesuits and
solar panels. The goal of this project is to demonstrate the
functionality of a specialized lunar "lint roller" that uses synthetic
gecko skin to remove dust, rather than a traditional adhesive.
Additionally, we will be developing a cleaning appliance to make the
gecko roller reusable. One investigator will build and operationalize a
new UHV chamber system and test the gecko roller at lunar-relevant
pressures. Other investigators will design, build and test the efficacy
of the cleaning appliance, which will rely on electrostatic lofting.
The expected start date is Jan 2024 or earlier.

For questions, please contact Dr. Christine Hartzell, hartzell@umd.edu.

To apply, please submit a CV and cover letter to:

WORKSHOP ON EDIA FOR LEADERS IN PLANETARY SCIENCE

#EDIALPS

October 23-25, 2023, 4 hours daily, 11am-1pm and 2pm-4pm EDT

We invite planetary scientists in leadership roles to join us for the
third offering of our workshop on engaging with EDIA concepts and
strategies. "Leaders" include: Mission and instrument PIs (and future
PIs), department chairs, institute directors, program officers, and
group leaders of all kinds. This workshop (~25 people or less, to
encourage interaction) provides the basic tools needed to enact
positive change in personal and professional spheres regarding
inclusion, diversity, accessibility, and equity. Entirely on-line, no
registration fee.

"Well organized and well-facilitated, great breadth and depth of
topics, and good novel interactive components as well. The content was
expertly curated and extremely well presented ..." Participant,
November 2022.

Facilitators: Drs. Julie Rathbun and JA Grier (Note: Julie will be at
DPS if you want to talk to her about the workshop)

WHAT WAS THAT? AN ESO WORKSHOP ON PLANNING FOLLOW-UP FOR TRANSIENTS,
VARIABLES, AND SOLAR SYSTEM OBJECTS IN THE ERA OF LSST

We invite participants to a workshop to prepare for effective follow-up
of alerts from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space
and Time (LSST) using European Southern Observatory (ESO) telescopes.
This workshop will cover a broad range of science topics associated
with variable, transient or moving objects that will be discovered in
vast numbers by the LSST. We intend to mix overview talks on how LSST
will impact these fields, lessons learned from previous surveys and ESO
programmes, the expected yield of discoveries from LSST, and the
planned capabilities of ESO facilities in the coming decade. We will
have talks that introduce the LSST, its alert brokers and other tools
and services designed to enable follow-up observations. The workshop
will include dedicated breakout sessions to plan broad community follow
up programmes at ESO.

The workshop will take place at ESO headquarters in Garching, Germany,
January 22-26, 2024. In person attendance is encouraged to facilitate
collaboration building, but virtual attendance will also be supported.

https://www.eso.org/sci/meetings/2024/lsst.html

The registration deadline is November 30, 2023.
