The conference aims to bring together scientists from the magnetospheric, ionospheric, and planetary communities to review the recent discoveries in light of recent space missions and numerical simulations, and to discuss the current status and future direction of substorm research. The meeting will be a hybrid meeting with online components. But we strongly encourage in-person participation, since the conference series are known for the atmosphere of lively discussions. We will start each day with a tutorial lecture on a specific topic, and we will provide sufficient time for questions and dialogues in each session. Further information about the conference is given on the meeting website: https://tinyurl.com/32czwyaw The deadline for abstract submission (July 31, 2023) is now approaching. Please kindly consider submitting your study of substorms to the conference, and we look forward to meeting you in China.

Online applications can be accessed and filled out here: https://dps.aas.org/development/dps-dependent-care-grant-application Please direct questions about applications and the process to DPS.Dependent.Grant@aas.org. 3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 OPEN MEXAG STEERING COMMITTEE POSITION - GEOCHEMISTRY DISCIPLINE The Mercury Exploration Assessment Group (MExAG) is seeking applications for an open position on the Steering Committee for a Geochemistry Discipline Member, with a nominal term through June 2026. This member serves as the expert on geochemistry and represents the MExAG geochemistry community. Applicants for this position must be employed at an institution within the US. Apply here: https://tinyurl.com/mr3smczd 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4 AGU SESSION P039: SPACE ENVIRONMENTS OF UNMAGNETIZED OR WEAKLY MAGNETIZED SOLAR SYSTEM BODIES AND THE EFFECTS OF SPACE WEATHER ON THESE SYSTEMS The ionospheres and magnetospheres of weakly magnetized bodies with substantial atmospheres (e.g. Mars, Venus, Titan, Pluto and comets) are subject to disturbances due to solar activities, interplanetary conditions, or parent magnetospheric environments (e.g. solar flares, coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particles), sharing similarities with their magnetized counterparts but with scientifically important differences. As an integral part of planetary atmospheres, ionospheres are tightly coupled with the neutral atmosphere, exosphere and surrounding plasma environment, possessing rich compositional, density, and temperature structures. The interaction among neutral and charged components affects atmospheric loss, neutral winds, photochemistry, and energy balance within ionospheres. This session invites abstracts concerning remote and in-situ data analysis, modeling studies, comparative studies, instrumentation and mission concepts for weakly magnetized Solar System bodies. Topics such as dayside and nightside ionospheric characteristics and variability, ion-neutral coupling, and responses of the ionized and neutral regimes to transient space weather events are especially encouraged. https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/184167 Hope to see you at AGU! Conveners: Christopher M Fowler, Beatriz Sanchez-Cano, Xiaohua Fang, Yingjuan Ma 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 AGU SESSION P004: ATMOSPHERES, CLIMATE, AND POTENTIAL HABITABILITY OF ROCKY EXOPLANETS Exoplanet discoveries of the past decade have shown that every star hosts at least 0.1-1 roughly Earth-sized, or rocky, planets. Our galaxy therefore contains billions of rocky worlds, vastly outnumbering the four rocky planets of our own Solar System. What are these worlds like? This session invites submissions that probe the nature of rocky exoplanets, including: What can our Solar System teach us about rocky exoplanets? How different are atmospheres and climates on rocky planets around other stars, on rocky planets in exotic orbital states, or on rocky planets with radically different formation histories? How can we characterize such planets via observations? And could the processes that kept Earth habitable over billions of years also occur elsewhere? Submissions that use observation, experiment, or theory are all welcome. Submit your abstract here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/prelim.cgi/Session/186717 Conveners: Lixiang Gu, Daniel Koll, Thaddeus Komacek, and Laura Schaefer 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 MULTIPLE POSTDOCTORAL POSITIONS IN LUNAR SCIENCE AT BROWN UNIVERSITY Description: The LunaSCOPE NASA SSERVI Team hosted at Brown University invites applications for multiple Postdoctoral Research Scholars that complement and enhance existing research into the Moon on topics of (1) magma oceans, (2) magnetism, (3) volcanism and tectonism, (4) volatiles, (5) regolith and impacts, and (6) Earth-Moon orbital, stress, and tidal evolution. Diversity, equity and inclusion are integral to LunaSCOPE and Brown University, and thus LunaSCOPE seeks qualified candidates who can contribute to equity, diversity and inclusion through service, mentorship, teaching and scholarship. Interested individuals should have a Ph.D. in Planetary Science, Mathematics, or a related field. Start dates negotiable. LunaSCOPE is interested in diversifying planetary science and encourages applications from diverse candidates. Candidates from historically underrepresented group(s) in higher education are encouraged to apply. Applications will be initially reviewed on August 1, 2023 and on a rolling basis thereafter. Apply at lunascope.org/jobs If interested, please send a CV and brief statement of research interests and future research goals that highlights any previous experience with mantle, atmospheric, or exoplanet modeling and analyses to exoplanets [at] brown [dot] edu. Questions can be directed to Alex Evans (alex_evans [at] brown [dot] edu). 7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 [NASA] SMD: ROSES-23 AMENDMENT 33: SUPPLEMENTS FOR OPEN-SOURCE SCIENCE FINAL TEXT F.8 Supplements for Open-Source Science (SOSS) solicits proposals to add an open science component to an existing "parent" ROSES award. The goal of this program element is to increase the accessibility, inclusivity, and reproducibility of the science from the parent award, and/or to contribute back to the open-science communities relevant to the parent award. https://tinyurl.com/yc3ry59j Final text and due dates are released. No Notices of Intent are requested for this program element and proposals may be submitted at any time until the close date of ROSES-2023 on March 29, 2024. https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2023 Questions concerning F.8 SOSS may be directed to Steven Crawford at steven.m.crawford@nasa.gov and Paige Martin at paige.e.martin@nasa.gov.

The ROSES Summary of Solicitation lays out rules that, by default, apply to all program elements in ROSES unless superseded by a Division Overview or an individual program element. This amendment adds to Section VIII(b) of the ROSES Summary of Solicitation (SoS) subsection ii "Collision Avoidance / Conjunction Assessment Requirements" that describes a new requirement that applies to a specific subset of proposals. See Section VIII(b)ii of the ROSES-23 SoS for more information. As appropriate, reference to this subsection of the SoS and to NPR 8079.1 from which this requirement derives, will be added to program elements. Also, a statement about accessibility costs being allowable has been added to Section II(a). New text is in bold. https://nodis3.gsfc.nasa.gov/displayDir.cfm?t=NPR&c=8079&s=1 Questions concerning Collision Avoidance / Conjunction Assessment Requirements may be directed to Lauri Newman at lauri.k.newman@nasa.gov. Other questions about the ROSES-2023 Solicitation may be directed to Max Bernstein at sara@nasa.gov.
