DPS WOMEN IN PLANETARY SCIENCE – OCT 4 HYBRID EVENT
Join us for the annual Division for Planetary Sciences Women in Planetary Science event in a hybrid format on October 4, Noon-1 Eastern. All are welcome! We will have both online and in person event hosts to facilitate conversation for both types of attendees. This year the format will be mostly small-group discussions on professional development topics. Please see more details and register for the event at http://bit.ly/DPS_WiPS_2022. The event is free to attend. A huge thanks(!) to our generous sponsor AURA (https://www.aura-astronomy.org/) for supporting this event again this year. We know plans change, but please register ASAP if there is a 50% chance you will attend either in person or virtual so we can start to plan.

FIRST DPS-NSBP SPEAKER, DR. JASMINE BAYRON, AT DPS MEETING
For all DPS 2022 meeting registrants, we highlight the presentation by Dr. Jasmine Bayron, a meteorite petrologist currently affiliated with the American Museum of Natural History. She will be presenting in the Meteoroids and Meteors session at the DPS 2022 meeting, on “The Solar System Family Tree: Simulations of Icy Chondritic Parent Body Interiors,” on Wednesday, October 5. Dr. Bayron was selected as the first awardee within the DPS-NSBP Speaker program, based on her presentation at the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP) 2021 meeting on “Moapa Valley (CM1): The Black Box of the CM Parent Asteroid.” To see Dr. Bayron’s full DPS 2022 abstract, please see https://dps.aas.org/nsbp-partnership/2021-speaker or search within the full DPS meeting program at https://aas.org/meetings/dps54/program.

GOLDSCHMIDT MEETING SUBMISSION DEADLINE OCT 14
You are invited to submit sessions for Theme 1: "From dust to habitable worlds" of the Goldschmidt meeting in Lyon, France from July 9-14, 2023. The session submission deadline is 14 October 2022 (23:59 CET), and the website to submit them is: https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2023/cfs.cgi
It would be helpful for streamlining the sessions if you could send us your intention of submitting a session by Friday 23rd.
Description of Theme 1: From dust to habitable worlds: The Solar System is the only known inhabited planetary system. Even so, humanity has already begun identifying candidate habitable worlds around other stars, including worlds akin to the Solar System’s terrestrial planets. Furthermore, potentially habitable corners of our Solar System remain to be fully explored. These findings have fostered the concept of planetary habitability, which defines the physicochemical conditions at the surface of a planet required for life to develop, including the presence of liquid water, energy, and organic chemistry. The overarching goal of this theme is to provide constraints on the initial conditions that lead to the emergence of habitable worlds. This includes topics such as the formation and evolution of planet forming disks and their primordial reservoirs, the study of primitive Solar System materials and asteroidal bodies, the timescales and mechanisms of terrestrial planet formation, the composition of (exo)planet atmospheres, the origin of inner Solar System volatiles as well as the early geological history of Mars and outer Solar System moons. We welcome contributions from all fields of planetary sciences, including laboratory study of extraterrestrial samples, remote sensing, robotic exploration, theoretical astrophysics, and astronomy.
Some possible sessions ideas that we would love for the community to submit:
• Formation and evolution of planet forming disks and their primordial reservoirs
• Primitive Solar System materials and solar system small bodies
• The timescales and mechanisms of terrestrial planet formation including insights from meteoritic, lunar, and terrestrial geochemistry
• Volatile elements through terrestrial planets formation (session submission in progress)
• The chemistry of (exo)planet atmospheres and interaction with planetary surfaces
• The early geological and geochemical history of Mars
• Geochemistry, evolution, and habitability of outer solar system Moon

EGU GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2023 CALL-FOR-SESSIONS FOR THE PLANETARY AND SPACE SCIENCES (PS) DIVISION
The Planetary and Space Sciences (PS) division of the European Geoscience Union (EGU) is a dynamic community of researchers involved in inter- and trans-disciplinary studies. Every year we meet in Vienna (Austria) to share our work in a collaborative setting with colleagues throughout the world.
Play an active role in this community by submitting a session proposal for the 2023 EGU General Assembly: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/provisionalprogramme
The deadline for submitting sessions is 19th September.
There are 8 different themes to choose from:
- PS1 – Multi-disciplinary applications to planetary and solar system science studies: spacecraft mission development and testing, planetary instrument testing, laboratory experiments and ground-truthing mission data with terrestrial analogues
- PS2 – Space weather and space weathering: active and passive processes, observations and records from models, experiments and samples
- PS3 – The early solar system: from molecular cloud to planetary building blocks, to planetisimals, planetary embryos and full-fledged planets (in partnership with GMPV)
- PS4 – Interiors, crusts and atmospheres of the terrestrial planets: formation, evolution and fate (in partnership with GD)
- PS5 – Physical, chemical and dynamical aspects of small bodies (dwarf planets, rocky & icy moons, asteroids, comets, KBOs, rings, meteors and interplanetary dust)
- PS6 – Gas and ice giants: from sub-neptunes to super-jupiters, at home and abroad
- PS7 – Exoplanets, exomoons, exocomets: origin, process and evolution
- PS8 – Life in the cosmos
Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
Best wishes, and looking forward to seeing you next year!
Stephen Mojzsis (PS president 2021-2023), and on behalf of the EGU PS Science Officers.
