CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT: DIRECT IMAGING & CHARACTERIZATION OF EXOPLANETS IN THE ELT ERA
April 11-13, 2024 – Tucson, Arizona
The emerging generation of Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) will transform the study of exoplanets. While the high angular resolution of ELTs allows imaging of planets at small separations, deep, precise spectroscopy will allow characterization of fundamental planet properties. The Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) provides an edge-to-edge separation of 23 m, and when used as an interferometer (LBTI), it already functions as an ELT. In this conference, we will discuss new ELT-era exoplanet science with LBT, as well as more general exoplanet science for the upcoming ELT landscape.

IGARSS SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT CCS.43 GEOLOGY AND GEOPHYSICS ACROSS THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The 2024 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium (IGARSS) is planned to be held in Athens, Greece, 7–12 July 2024. We’d like to direct your attention towards the session CCS.43: «Geology and Geophysics across the Solar System».
Session Description: Planetary geology studies and the understanding of outer space exotic worlds is largely based on analyses of various remote sensing data acquired by space missions. Space borne remote sensing is fundamental in understanding the formation and evolution of planetary surfaces and of their shallow subsurfaces. The surfaces of the terrestrial planets and their satellites have been largely shaped through volcanic and tectonic processes. Extreme conditions on outer solar system bodies, such as the Jovian, Saturnian, and ice giant satellites, result in different types of volcanism and tectonism. Fracturing and faulting processes mainly affect minor bodies such as asteroids and small moons, where volcanism and tectonism have not played an important role. We invite contributions that cover a wide range of topics including geomorphology and composition of volcanic deposits, edifices, and plumes, volcano-induced deformation and edifice growth and collapse to tectonic structures, faulting and fracturing processes, crustal stress and strain analysis, cryovolcanism, and any study related to planetary endogenic processes. Furthermore, studies that relay interactions between planetary interiors, surfaces, and atmospheres are welcome. Comparative studies of volcanic or tectonic systems on Earth with a strong remote sensing component are encouraged, as well as studies on terrestrial analogues that help understanding the working mechanisms of outer space bodies and vice versa.
The deadline for Manuscript Submission & Travel Support Application is 5 January 2024 AOE.
Information on how to submit a manuscript can be found here.

EGU SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT PS2.1 EXPLORING THE MYSTERIES OF JUPITER’S ICY MOONS AND THEIR SPACE ENVIRONMENT
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly 2024 is planned to be held in Vienna, Austria & Online, 14–19 April 2024. We’d like to direct your attention towards the session PS2.1 « Exploring the Mysteries of Jupiter’s Icy Moons and their Space Environment».
Session Description: The arrival of the Europa Clipper and Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) spacecraft at Jupiter in the early 2030s will represent a watershed moment in the field of planetary science by providing, for the first time, simultaneous long-term observations in the Jovian system by two spacecraft. These missions are poised to provide unprecedented insights into the complex, enigmatic, and potentially habitable icy moons of the Jupiter system. This conference session aims to bring together scientists to discuss the latest advancements in our understanding of the Jupiter system and the implications for habitability, geology, and planetary science. It will feature updates and highlights from the Juice and Europa Clipper missions, including mission objectives, instrumentation, and recent developments. In addition, we will delve into the geology of Jupiter’s icy moons, with a particular focus on Europa and Ganymede; explore the characterization, chemical composition, thermal dynamics, and potential habitability of their subsurface oceans; and investigate the evidence for cryovolcanic activity, its implications for surface processes, and its role in shaping these worlds. We further extend the discussion to the complex interaction of the moons with Jupiter’s magnetic environment and the effects of radiation on their surfaces. The Europa Clipper and Juice missions offer a unique opportunity to unlock the secrets of the Jupiter system and its icy moons through individual and joint science investigations. We invite contributions on these topics from scientists at all career stages and backgrounds with the aim to foster collaboration, share knowledge, and inspire further research in this exciting and rapidly evolving field of planetary science.
The deadline for abstract submission is 10 January 2024, 13:00 CET and the deadline for support application 01 December 2023, 13:00 CET.
