MEETING: DAP-2023 Abstract Submission Deadline

From: Mihaly Horanyi (horanyi at colorado.edu)

This is just a reminder that the abstract submission deadline on March 31, 2023 is quickly approaching. Please contact the organizers if you plan on submitting an abstract but cannot not meet this deadline. 

The 4th Dust, Atmosphere, and Plasma Environment of the Moon and Small Bodies (DAP-2023)  will be a three-day workshop from June 5-7, 2023 in Boulder, CO.

Abstract submission (deadline March 31, 2023) and registration (deadline May 15, 2023) are open at: impact.colorado.edu/dap/2023.
The DAP-2023 workshop will be hosted by the SSERVI-IMPACT team at the University of Colorado, and will be a forum to 
(i) discuss our current understanding of the surface environment of the Moon and other small bodies, 
(ii) share new results from past and ongoing missions to the moon, airless bodies and comets, and 
(iii) describe expectations, problems, and solutions for planned future missions to dusty destinations.

DAP-2023 will follow the traditions of three previous workshops, LDAP-2010, DAP-2012, and DAP-2017.

Best regards,
Tobin Munsat, Xu Wang,  Mihaly Horanyi, Jan Deca, Addie Dove, and Jorge Núñez

GeoDAWG Seminar Series

From: Tomoko Matsuo, Anthony Sciola, Adam Michael  (adam.michael at jhuapl.edu)

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to attend the monthly seminar series of the IAGA “Geospace Data Assimilation Working Group” (GeoDAWG). GeoDAWG’s purpose is to provide a forum to aid in the discussion of data assimilative modeling methods across the geospace sciences. More information can be found on our website: https://sites.google.com/view/geodawg/home

Seminars are held virtually at 11 am Eastern Time on the first Tuesday of every month. 

The next seminar is the second seminar of a two-part series. It will be held on April 4th, given by Harry Arnold and Anthony Sciola, titled “Grey Box Modeling of Earth’s Magnetosphere Part II: Ingesting Data Mining Reconstructions into First Principle Models.” The first seminar, by Grant Stephens titled “Grey Box Modeling of Earth’s Magnetosphere Part 1: Data-Mining based Empirical Reconstructions of Substorms,” is available to view on our YouTube channel, with a link available on our website.

A link to join the seminar via Zoom can be found on the GeoDAWG website: https://sites.google.com/view/geodawg/seminars, along with the current GeoDAWG seminar schedule.

You can request to join our mailing list, https://sites.google.com/view/geodawg/mailing-list, if you would like to receive our regular newsletter where we share research highlights and information relevant to the community.

Speaker suggestions or questions can be also submitted online: https://sites.google.com/view/geodawg/contact-us, or you can email us directly at iaga.geodawg at gmail.com

2023 Cold Plasma Seminar Series

From: Pedro Resendiz (resendiz at lanl.gov)

Dear colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that our Cold Plasma Seminar series will be resuming on April 19th, 2023. You can find the complete list of speakers for 2023 at the following link:

https://www.lanl.gov/org/ddste/aldsc/theoretical/applied-mathematics-plasma-physics/cold-plasma-seminars.php

This year, the seminar will be held in two modes: hybrid and online. For the hybrid mode, the speaker will have the option to travel to Los Alamos NM, USA to give their seminar in person, while we will also host the seminar on Zoom/Webex for those who cannot attend in person. For the online mode, the speaker will present their seminar virtually, and we will host the seminar on Zoom/Webex, as we did in the past year. 

Additionally, please note that there is a change in the seminar schedule this year. The seminar will take place at 12:00 -13:00 hrs. Eastern Daylight Time (4-5 Universal Time Coordinated, 6-7 PM Central European Summer time, which is one hour later compared to last year’s schedule.

Finally, we remind you that you can join the distribution mailing list by contacting Gian Luca Delzanno (delzanno at lanl.gov).

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you at the seminar.

JOB OPENING: Term-limit Civil Servant Research Scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center

From: Eric Christian (eric.r.christian at nasa.gov)

The Energetic Particle Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has an opening for an early-career scientist interested in the origin of energetic particles in space and with experience in designing, building, and analyzing data from instruments that measure ionized and neutral high-energy particles in the heliosphere and magnetosphere.  The opening is for a GS-12 6-year Term-limit Civil Servant position with the potential for conversion to permanent Civil Servant after the six years.  The Energetic Particle Laboratory currently has instruments in development for the Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) mission (launch in 2025), several cubesats for Low-Earth Orbit and interplanetary space, and the Lunar Gateway, as well as data from existing instruments on ACE, STEREO, IBEX, Van Allen Probes and Parker Solar Probe.  The laboratory is in the Heliospheric Science Laboratory (Code 672) of Goddard's Heliophysics Science Division.  Because this is a US Government Civil Servant position, applicants are required to be US citizens, and are expected to have applicable experience.  A PhD in Space or Earth Science is highly desirable.  Applications are currently being accepted through the usajobs.gov website and will remain open until April 10.  The link to the vacancy is https://www.usajobs.gov/job/714742900 .  Questions can be emailed to Adam Szabo (adam.szabo at nasa.gov), Code 672 Lab Chief, and Eric Christian (eric.r.christian at nasa.gov), Code 672 Associate Lab Chief and head of the Energetic Particle Laboratory.
