[IGPP Everyone] TOMORROW: Special Space Physics seminar, EPSS Faculty Candidate - Fri. 2/18, 3:30 PM PST - Mars: where Plasma meets Planetary Science (Robert Lillis, UCB SSL)

[Emmanuel V. Masongsong]

The EPSS Department is conducting a faculty search for a new tenure-track position in Space Physics. The six finalists will present at our Space Physics Seminar series as shown at the bottom of this email (Fridays 3:30-4:30 from February 18 through April 8), both in-person in the Slichter Hall 3853 Conference Room (3rd floor), and streamed via Zoom. The talks will also be recorded for those unable to attend. Light refreshments and an opportunity to meet the speaker informally will follow after the talk on the Franz Patio. 

Your feedback on the talks and other interactions is valuable to the Search Committee. Kindly submit your comments via the survey link which will be sent via email (please contact Helen Carter, hcarter at epss.ucla.edu, if you did not receive it and would like to contribute).

Mars: where Plasma meets Planetary Science 

Robert Lillis 
UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory 
website: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~rlillis/ 
Mars possesses a unique plasma environment among the planets. With a CO2 atmosphere and no global magnetic field, it has much in common with the induced magnetosphere of Venus. However, its strong & heterogeneous crustal magnetic fields rotate with the planet and lend it aspects of intrinsic magnetospheres like Earth’s. Over the last ~20 years, we have built up an increasingly detailed picture of this environment’s structure and how it responds to space weather conditions. After introducing the topic of Space & Planetary plasma physics, this seminar will discuss selected topics focused around the Martian ionosphere, electron precipitation & discrete aurora, utilizing data from four different Mars missions as well as looking forward to the twin-spacecraft ESCAPADE mission in 2026.
