THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DISASTER AFFECTING OUR COMMUNITY: CALL FOR SUPPORT
The news out of southern California is devastating and points to an unprecedented disaster affecting our community. Four life-threatening wildfires are wreaking havoc across Los Angeles County. Two of the fires, the Pacific Palisades and the Eaton Canyon fires, each have an extent of more than 10,000 acres and, as of recently, are less than 15% and 35% contained. Tens of thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes; many have lost everything they own.
The planetary and space science community at Caltech, JPL and nearby sister organizations has been particularly impacted by the fires. Hundreds of people in the Caltech/JPL community have lost all their possessions and their homes. Many of our colleagues, most especially within the JPL/Caltech/Carnegie communities but also others, live and work in the affected areas and have suffered immensely from the wildfires and lost so much. This includes students, postdocs, researchers, staff members and professors, many with children. These people need literally everything right now, and others are still threatened. Our thoughts and sympathy are with all of them.
The community response has been amazing so far, but the need is greater still. In a spirit of solidarity, may you consider donating to one of the following relief funds to help those in our community who have been impacted by this disaster. Please consider that community support is very helpful to the mental health of those affected as they face the grim task of rebuilding their lives. It will be a long road.
Please consider donating if you can to one of these relief funds:
- The Caltech-JPL Community: NASA JPL is untouched by fire due to the brave dedication of our first responders. But that community has been very seriously impacted with over 150 employees having lost their homes and many more displaced. Please consider donating to the Caltech and JPL Disaster Relief Fund. The Caltech and JPL Disaster Relief Fund – Advancement and Alumni Relations
- The Caltech-IPAC Community: Several members of the IPAC family have lost their homes in the devastation. Wendy Burt has created a gofundme to raise support for the IPAC employees affected by the Eaton Fire. Donate to Support Our IPAC Family Affected by the Eaton Fire, organized by Wendy Burt [gofund.me]
- JPL, ROMAN, and HabWorlds: Note that this gofundme started as only being within the HabWorlds Collaboration but has now expanded. Donate to Support NASA JPL HabWorlds teammates in the Pasadena fires, organized by Jason Tumlinson [gofund.me]
With our deep support, our warmest thoughts and wishes for clearer skies soon to all suffering at these terrible times.

EPSC-DPS JOINT MEETING 2025 CALL-FOR-SESSIONS
Dear colleagues,
The EPSC-DPS Joint Meeting 2025 will be held at Finlandia Hall, Helsinki, Finland on 7–12 September 2025.
The Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) is the annual meeting place of the Europlanet community, which invites contributions from planetary scientists from all over the world. First held in Berlin in 2006 and regularly attracting 1,200 participants, EPSC is the largest planetary science meeting held in Europe. It covers the entire range of planetary sciences with an extensive mix of talks, workshops, and poster sessions while providing a unique space for networking and exchange of experiences. In 2011 EPSC joined forces for the first time with the Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) and they held their first joint meeting in Nantes, France. The intent of the joint meetings is not only to connect the European and US planetary science communities, but also to consolidate two major meetings, which should motivate planetary scientists from all over the globe to attend. This year will mark the third iteration of a joint Europe-based meeting. Given the record number of participants at the last two EPSCs we expect to exceed 2000 participants this year.
The success of our meetings is founded on the excellence of the scientific sessions held by the session conveners. We therefore encourage you to submit session proposals through the conference website by 5 March 2025.
For more information please see:
https://www.epsc-dps2025.eu/information/call-for-sessions.html

Looking forward to a great joint meeting this year in Helsinki !

URANUS ORBITER AND PROBE SCIENCE QUESTIONNAIRE: TOUR DRIVERS
All members of the planetary science community are invited to take part in a voluntary, non-binding, questionnaire about the Uranus Flagship mission’s orbital tour design. This community-led poll is designed to better understand the parameters needed for studying each aspect of the Uranus system, based on the Decadal Survey’s science objectives. The poll will close on March 30, and the aggregated results will be posted to public webpages (past workshops and/or OPAG, as appropriate) for broader community use.

NEW HORIZONS SCIENCE SPOTLIGHT WEBINAR
Join us on 23 January 2025, 2:30-3pm EST (11:30-12 PST,12:30-1pm MST,1:30-2pm CST)
New Horizons continues its operation, now at 60.7au from the Sun. Since 2015 it has made ground-breaking discoveries of the Pluto-Charon system, flown past the small contact KBO binary Arrokoth and collected phase and light curve data for some three dozen additional KBOs and the ice giants. It has also been sampling dust density throughout the solar system and studying the cosmic optical background. To raise awareness of New Horizon’s scientific impact we are beginning a new spotlight seminar series (30 min, fourth week each month) which we invite you to attend online, or watch recorded at your convenience.
Our speaker will be J. Michael Shull of University of Colorado Boulder and he will be speaking on:
“Excess Ultraviolet Emission at High Galactic Latitudes: A New Horizons View”

LIST OF PLANETARY SCIENCE INTERNSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
The Planetary Geology Division of GSA has created a crowd-sourced spreadsheet specifically for sharing internship opportunities in planetary sciences. The goal of this sheet is to create a
single-source list of opportunities particularly for internships, including opportunities not associated with an institutional program which can be harder to advertise.
Please contribute opportunities to grow the internship list, and share the link with your students.

EUROPA ICONS: STEM INTERNSHIP FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
The Europa ICONS program will pair Europa Clipper science team members with undergraduate students for a 10-week research experience during which the students will perform original scientific research. Internships may be in person at a Europa Clipper science team member’s institution, virtual, or hybrid, depending on the research project and individuals needs of the intern and mentor. Mentors and interns will convene the week of July 28, 2025 for a mini conference at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, MD to build relationships and to present the work completed over the summer.
Interns will get a $12,000 stipend; travel costs to APL will be paid for by NASA. For in-person interns, NASA will pay up to $1000 for relocation and provide a housing stipend. Apply via stemgateway.nasa.gov. Search for “Europa ICONS” to see projects available. This opportunity is only open to US Citizens. Applications are due February 28, 2025.

DIVERSE + INCLUSIVE NAVAL OCEANOGRAPHIC SUMMER INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
Are you (or do you know) an undergraduate interested in doing paid planetary/earth science research this summer? If so, please apply to the University of Washington Applied Physics Lab DINOSIP program before 2/28/25!
https://www.apl.uw.edu/education/dino_sip.php
DINO SIP aims to provide underrepresented minority students with an opportunity to experience and conduct project-based research, participate in professional development, build community with other young scientists, and learn how to navigate the pathways to a career in planetary/earth science, maritime and oceanographic science, technology, mathematics, or engineering (STEM) fields.
Members of historically underrepresented minorities (including, but not limited to, African-, Hispanic- and Native-Americans, Pacific Islanders, first generation, LGBTQ+, military veterans and families, and disabled individuals) in STEM fields are highly encouraged to apply. Falling short of prerequisites will not necessarily result in rejection, so we encourage any student that is highly interested to apply, especially since projects will be matched to the student’s level of experience. I will host two virtual info sessions, and the Zoom links are posted on our webpage.
For any queries regarding the program, or application, please contact Dr. Amanda Labrado ([email protected])
