We would like to announce our selected session titled "Exploring the Diversity of Volcanism in the Solar System" (T163). From cryovolcanic plumes on Europa and active lava lakes on Io to the enigmatic Venusian pancake domes and everything in between, volcanism is a fundamental geologic process that occurs throughout the Solar System in a diversity of forms. This broad session invites abstracts that present recent advances in modeling and quantifying volcanic processes throughout the Solar System. Abstracts focused on the destinations of upcoming planetary missions are encouraged. Abstract submission opens 1 May 2025 and closes 5 August 2025. If you have any questions, please contact the session conveners: Sean I. Peters (seanp@middlebury.edu) and Ian T.W. Flynn (itf2@pitt.edu).

These positions involve advanced numerical simulations and analysis of spacecraft data. The positions are full-time and 100% funded for four years. The expected start date is September 1, 2025, or as agreed. The application deadline is May 23, 2025. The three PhD projects are: Project 1: Plasma interaction with Mercury's magnetosphere Project 2: Ganymede's aurora Project 3: Water plumes of the icy moons For more information about the positions and how to apply, please visit: https://tinyurl.com/49svw6x4 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 [NASA] EONS-2025 NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) entitled Engagement Opportunities in NASA STEM (EONS) - 2025, solicits proposals for competitive funding opportunities in support of the programs administered by NASA's Office of STEM Engagement (OSTEM). Go to: https://tinyurl.com/crcr8wur EONS-2025 is an omnibus announcement that includes a wide range of NASA STEM Engagement opportunities for basic and applied science and technology research and education to support workforce development. Specific opportunities will be issued periodically throughout the year as Appendices to this solicitation with individual requirements and milestones. 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 [EPSC-DPS 2025] SESSION ODAA3: DIVERSITY AND INCLUSIVENESS IN PLANETARY SCIENCES The benefits of diversity and inclusiveness in the scientific community are incontrovertible. Following the success of previous years, this session aims to foster debate within the planetary sciences community about the reasons behind the under-representation of different groups (gender, cultural, ethnic origin, and national) and best practices to make the research environment more inclusive identifying and addressing barriers to equality. We invite abstracts focusing on under-representation (gender, cultural, ethnic origin, and nationality biases) supported by statistics and data; outreach and education activities to reach broad and diverse audiences, best practices to support inclusiveness; and case studies on mentoring and bias-concerned activities. Please, submit you abstract here: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EPSC-DPS2025/session/55160 The deadline abstract submission is 7 May 2025, 13:00 CEST We look forward to welcoming you in Helsinki in September, and online!

We are soliciting abstracts that address lessons learned from previous planetary instruments, a survey of current state-of-the-art instruments and enabling technologies (including software), and emerging capabilities in planetary instrumentation. The IPM-2025 will be held August 4-6, 2025, in Boulder, Colorado. A remote attendance option will be provided, although presenting authors must attend in person.

Dr. Kiefer will discuss NASA's Europa Clipper mission and its 1.8-billion-mile journey to Jupiter's moon, Europa. Launched in October 2024, Europa Clipper is the first mission designed to conduct a detailed study of Europa. A vast ocean lies beneath Europa's icy shell, and there is scientific evidence that the ingredients for life may exist on Europa right now.
