1. ICS13 Abstracts
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jimmy Raeder (J.Raeder at unh.edu)
Although the abstract submission deadline has passed, we continue to accept abstracts at ics13.unh.edu until one week before the meeting, i.e., September 22. We especially encourage abstracts presenting new MMS results, and we will leave a few oral slots open for the latest MMS results. However, the later an abstract is submitted, the larger the chance it will be assigned to the Wednesday poster session.

2. AGU Fall 2017 Session: Magnetospheres in the Inner Solar System (SM028)
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Gina DiBraccio, Daniel Gershman, Marissa Vogt (daniel.j.gershman at nasa.gov)
We invite submissions to 'Magnetospheres in the Inner Solar System', a session to be held at the Fall 2017 AGU Meeting, described below:
Session ID#: 22664
Session Description:
The structure and dynamics of each planetary magnetosphere (intrinsic and induced) in the inner solar system are driven by a unique set of factors including the nature of its magnetization, atmosphere-ionosphere coupling, and local solar wind parameters. To provide a forum for discussion of recent data analysis and modeling efforts concerning the inner planet magnetospheres, this session welcomes submissions on the intrinsic magnetospheres of Mercury and Earth, as well as the induced magnetospheres of Venus and Mars. It will focus on general magnetospheric processes including, but not limited to: solar wind-magnetosphere interaction, magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, plasma acceleration and transport, magnetic reconnection, wave instabilities, magnetotail dynamics, and bow shock physics. We strongly encourage comparative studies of these inner solar system magnetospheres with each other or with other planetary magnetospheres throughout the solar system. Results from various missions such as MESSENGER, BepiColombo, VEX, MEX, MGS, MAVEN, and more, are actively solicited.

3. AGU Fall 2017 Session: Big Data Approaches for NASA Science Missions (IN010)
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Charles Holmes, Neal Hurlburt, and Jim Kinter (cholmes at mac.com)
Please note that the following session will be included under Earth and Space Sciences Informatics (ESSI) at the upcoming Winter meeting of the AGU: “Approaches for deriving new science from data holdings of NASA’s science missions are evolving to employ new computational resources, techniques and architectures common to big data problem sets in other fields. Current NASA missions, such as the Solar Dynamics Observatory can generate hundreds of terabytes of data annually while models supporting and employing Earth or planetary observations can produce petascale datasets. The result is that NASA science mission data sets are now so large, streaming so fast, and characterized by such complexity that traditional data processing and analysis methods are inadequate. This session includes examples of novel approaches for satisfying NASA’s growing “big data” needs with new methods, technologies and processing models. Papers in this session will describe applications of big data technologies, cloud computing, data analytics, modeling workflows, and data discovery to current or anticipated NASA science missions.” Abstracts are due on August 2, 2017.

4. AGU Fall 2017 Session: (SA003) Applications of Space Weather Research (SA003)
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Shawn Young (Shawn.Young.2 at us.af.mil)
Dear Colleagues,
We invite you to submit an abstract the coorganized (SA/SM/SH sections) session on the “Applications of Space Weather Research.”
SA003: Applications of Space Weather Research
Session ID#: 22876
Session Description:
Improving space weather forecasting and analysis requires scientific insight and operational expertise. In the last several years, concerted efforts to strike the appropriate balance have been emphasized by the basic and applied research programs of NASA, NOAA, USGS, and DOD, as well as many international counterparts. The goal of this session is to provide a venue to showcase new and ongoing efforts connecting space weather research with realworld applications and societal needs, while identifying current obstacles of both a technical and a practical nature. We Invite talks covering the observations, models, and combinations thereof that will enable tomorrow’s operational applications related to space weather in all its forms (e.g., impacts on spacecraft, power grid vulnerabilities, disruptions to transionospheric communication/navigation/geolocation, effects of atmospheric drag on satellites and debris, etc.).

5. AGU Session Call for Abstracts: Ionospheric Outflow From Earth and Other Terrestrial planets (P021)
------------------------------------------------------------
From: Lukas Maes (maes at mps.mpg.de)
Dear colleagues
If you plan to go to AGU, please consider submitting to our session on ionospheric outflow. All contributions concerning processes causing ion upflow or outflow in and from the ionospheres of Earth, Mars, and Venus, as well as their consequences on their magnetospheres and plasma environments are welcome.
Submitting can be done via the following link:
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session26997
The abstract submission deadline is 2 August.
Abstract:
Ionospheric Outflow From Earth and Other Terrestrial Planets
On every terrestrial planet with an atmosphere, EUV radiation creates ions in the upper atmosphere that may flow upward. If the ions are energized enough, they can escape the gravitational potential. Depending on the presence and nature of the planetary magnetic field, there may be many different mechanisms causing ion upflow and outflow, like particle precipitation, ambipolar electric fields driving a polar or planetary wind, wave-particle interactions, direct solar wind-ionosphere interactions, ion pick-up, etc. These escaping ions contribute to the atmospheric erosion. Upflowing ions can be blocked by an induced magnetosphere or trapped inside an intrinsic magnetosphere. They may affect their plasma environment and even alter the dynamics of the magnetosphere. This session invites contributions concerning all the processes controlling ionospheric ion upflow and outflow on Earth, Venus, and Mars, and their possible implications. Submissions comparing the processes at different planets, similarities and differences, are also encouraged.

The European Space Agency awards several postdoctoral fellowships each year.
The aim of these fellowships is to provide young scientists, holding a PhD or the equivalent degree, with the means of performing space science research in fields related to the ESA Science Programmes.
Areas of research include planetary science, astronomy and astrophysics, solar and solar-terrestrial science, plasma physics and fundamental physics. The fellowships have a duration of two years, with the possible extension to three years, and are tenable at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, Netherlands, or at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC) in Villafranca del Castillo, near Madrid, Spain.
Applications are now solicited for fellowships in space science to begin in the fall of 2018. Preference will be given to applications submitted by candidates within five years of receiving their PhD. Candidates not holding a PhD yet are encouraged to apply, but they must provide evidence of receiving their degree before starting the fellowship.
ESA fellows are enrolled in ESA's Social Security Scheme, which covers medical expenses. A monthly deduction covers these short-term and long-term risks.
The deadline for applications is 2 October 2017.
