Dear Colleagues (apologies for cross postings),

We cordially invite researchers to participate in an in-person workshop on the coordinated analysis of astromaterials. The workshop is scheduled for July 14-16, 2026, in Tucson, Arizona, at the University of Arizona’s (UA) Kuiper-Arizona Laboratory for Astromaterials Analysis (K-ALFAAhttps://kalfaa.lpl.arizona.edu), a NASA PSEF Facility. Participants will receive both hands-on and instructional training in analyzing planetary materials using various types of instrumentation and correlative workflows to coordinate data sets. This training opportunity is limited to 5 to 10 participants to ensure personalized instruction. The workshop is open to non-UA students and other early career researchers interested in sample science.

Limited travel support will be made available to those with a demonstrated need.

Additional information on the workshop and how to apply can be found here https://kalfaa.lpl.arizona.edu/astromaterials-workshop.

Questions can be address to me (tzega@arizona.edumailto:tzega@arizona.edu), Prof. Jess Barnes (jjbarnes@arizona.edumailto:jjbarnes@arizona.edu), and Prof. Pierre Haenecour (haenecour@email.arizona.edumailto:haenecour@email.arizona.edu).

Thanks,

Tom Zega
