The desired action, stripping LPI of conducting LPSC, will most hurt LPI staff who had no role in the decision making. Dr. Sykes' editorial ignores that USRA is governed by a consortium that includes almost every university that conducts planetary science, each of whom has an appointed representative who votes to appoint a Board of Trustees that oversees USRA's activities. No evidence is presented by Dr. Sykes that USRA has acted in opposition to the wishes of the universities that oversee it. I suggest that the most appropriate course of action is to apply pressure by contacting these local representatives and USRA's Board of Trustees, as they are who can cause USRA to change course.

STUDENT IN SPACE PHYSICS (DNR: 2.2.1-286/25) The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is seeking a highly motivated individual to join the Solar System Physics and Space Technology (SSPT) program in Kiruna, Sweden to investigate a new class of the Mars-solar wind interaction: degenerate induced magnetospheres. The Ph.D. project uniquely combines numerical simulations and data analysis from space instruments. The datasets available for analysis include particle and magnetic field data from missions to Mars, ESA's Mars Express and NASA's MAVEN as well as ESA's mission to Venus, Venus Express. The computer modeling is performed on the Kebnekaise cluster at the High-Performance Computing Center North (HPC2N) at Umea University. Candidates are expected to have completed their MSc degree or equivalent by the time of employment. Merits include, though are not required: - Proficiency in the Python programming language - Strong interest in planetary science and Mars - Completed courses in plasma physics The position is for four years and is based at the head office of IRF, located in Kiruna.

STUDENT IN SPACE PHYSICS (DNR: 2.2.1-289/25) The Swedish Institute of Space Physics (IRF) is seeking a highly motivated individual to join the Solar System Physics and Space Technology (SSPT) program in Kiruna, Sweden, to investigate a newly discovered plasma component at airless bodies: negative ions. The Ph.D. project uniquely combines experimental and data analysis work. SSPT developed and built the first-ever negative ion detector for use beyond Earth orbit-NILS (Negative Ions on the Lunar Surface)-which recently detected this component on the lunar surface. The Ph.D. student will perform additional calibrations of the NILS flight spare instrument using IRF facilities. These calibration data will be used to refine and extend the NILS instrument response function, which will then be applied in a reanalysis of the lunar data obtained by NILS. The new results and experience gained through calibration, along with the development of novel data analysis methods, will contribute to the design of a new generation of ultra-sensitive negative ion detectors for space applications. The position is based at the IRF head office in Kiruna, Sweden, and requires physical presence to carry out the work.

EXPLORING THE AEROMICROBIOME: ADVANCES IN SAMPLING, MODELING, AND UNDERSTANDING MICROBIAL ROLES IN ATMOSPHERIC PROCESSES We invite contributions to an exciting and rapidly evolving field focused on one of Earth's largest and least understood microbial ecosystems, the atmospheric microbiome. This field is gaining momentum as scientists across disciplines recognize the critical roles airborne microorganisms play in global biogeochemical cycling, climate processes, and planetary habitability. We welcome contributions that push the boundaries of our understanding of microbial life in the atmosphere, including but not limited to: 1. Sources, dispersal, and viability of airborne microorganisms; 2. Microbial processes in the atmosphere, such as nutrient cycling, metabolic pathways, and adaptation mechanisms; 3. Microbe-atmosphere interactions, encompassing cloud processes, weather and climate feedback mechanisms, and implications to atmospheric chemistry. We encourage submissions from observational, experimental, modeling, and theoretical studies. Longitudinal studies that explore the dynamics of microorganisms in the atmosphere are especially encouraged. This session aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and highlight emerging tools and insights in this nascent field.

The Planetary Decadal survey highlights the vast array of scientific questions to be answered through exploration of our diverse Solar System. Commercial and government-commercial partnerships are expanding the range, frequency, and risk tolerance in Solar System exploration. In current challenging budgetary times, with many destinations and science questions to choose from, development of lightweight, low-cost, cutting-edge technologies remains more important than ever. The advent of affordable, accessible Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the past several years may present an exciting enabling technology for planetary missions, but also raises questions about safety and reliability. In this session we solicit concepts for novel planetary missions and instruments across the entire spectrum of technologies that can play a role in future exploration of the Solar System.

These impacts generate unique environments with extreme temperature and pressure gradients. Under these conditions, chemical inventories may have evolved along prebiotic pathways conducive to life's emergence on Earth. Constraining the conditions during and after impacts is critical to understanding habitability on early Earth and other bodies. We invite contributions that explore geologic, atmospheric, and prebiotic chemistry during and after the impact events on Earth and beyond, and the potential contributions to planetary habitability. We encourage a diverse approach leveraging modeling, experimental, and observational techniques.

Methods of understanding these magnetic histories come from investigations into the magnetosphere, crustal magnetism, core dynamics, protoplanetary disk magnetism, and other planetary-body internal magnetic sources. These investigations are typically conducted by using spacecraft or lander measurements, laboratory studies of meteorites and returned samples, and modeling efforts. In this session, we welcome contributions that cover observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations (including method development) of magnetism in Solar System bodies of all scales and originating from remanence, induction, dynamo activity, and plasma interactions with surface and/or interior processes.

AGU abstracts are due July 30. A new era of human and robotic lunar exploration is opening up exciting opportunities in scientific understanding as humanity reaches toward the Moon again. Missions such as the Artemis, Chang'e, Chandrayaan, and commercial programs offer incredible avenues to develop a deeper scientific understanding of our nearest celestial neighbor. This session highlights science that enables and is enabled by our return to the Moon. These include lunar science results from recent missions, preparations for upcoming lunar missions, as well as laboratory and computational investigations that will broaden our knowledge about the Moon and facilitate future lunar exploration. We welcome investigations of the Moon and beyond that will be uniquely enabled by being done from the Moon. Areas of particular interest include dust, volatiles, radiation, geological processes and their mutual interactions, as well as future lunar instruments and mission concepts.

These processes are key to understanding the internal distribution of volatiles and how they shape planetary habitability. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions from fields including: - Cosmochemistry and experimental petrology - Thermodynamic, molecular, and fluid dynamics modeling - Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations - Machine learning or AI-based approaches in planetary research Early-career researchers and those working at the intersection of multiple disciplines are especially encouraged to contribute.
