EGU GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2024 CALL: PROPOSE-YOUR-SESSION 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.

Now and until 14 September 2023 is your chance to propose your scientific session to our Planetary & Solar System Sciences Division for EGU24!

The EGU General Assembly 2024 will be held at the Austria Center Vienna (ACV), Austria, with online components provided to enable virtual attendance, from 14 to 19 April 2024.

We hereby invite you to take an active part in organizing the scientific programme of our PS Division, from now until 14 September 2023, by suggesting sessions with conveners and description in your preferred programme group (see below).

Prior to proposing a session in one of the programme groups, we strongly encourage you to review the guidelines. Please check with all conveners that they agree to take part in the proposed session and refer to the convener guidelines and rules for detailed information of what to expect.

Our Provisional PS programme includes 7 groups:

Pick the group that suits your session best and propose it here: https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/provisionalprogramme

Please feel free to contact me and our science officers with any questions you may have.

Best wishes

Anezina Solomonidou (PS President), and on behalf of the EGU PS Science Officers.

INTEREST IN CALIBRATING PLASMA MEASUREMENTS SPECIAL ISSUE JOURNAL

 

Dear Colleague,

 

We are developing a special issue Frontiers journal topic on calibrating plasma measurements. If you have a calibration technique published in a student thesis, technical paper, laboratory notebook, paper appendix, etc, we are looking for your work! Plasma research covers a breadth of fields from in-situ to remote sensing, from fire dynamics to solar wind shock properties, from radio to x-ray. We are seeking to share the variety of approaches researchers take in making calibrations to stimulate new ideas and explore new possibilities. We are assembling a list of scientists and engineers to contact when the special issue begins accepting paper concepts.

 

Please reach out to us with your email if you or someone you know may be interested. Thank you!

 

Editors,

Elizabeth Jensen, PhD, PE, CSP

Julio Urbina, PhD

Jason Kooi, PhD
