Subject: Goldschmidt Conference - Call for Abstracts (March 29) and Travel
Support (March 15)
To: MetSoc Secretary metsocsec@gmail.com, humayun@magnet.fsu.edu

Apologies for cross-posting. We would like to bring to your attention the
session 1a "Planetary Chemistry in the Age of Solar System Exploration"
at the Goldschmidt Conference (in Barcelona, August 18–23, 2019).

Abstracts are due on March 29, and *Travel support *applications are
due on March 15 for eligible Ph.D. students and early career scientists
who are residents of countries designated by the World Bank as “low-income”
or “lower-middle-income” economies, and for for US-based students and
postdocs are available through support from US funding agencies.

Session 1a: Meteorites and samples returned from space exploration missions
have provided much of what we know about the origin of the Solar System and
the timescales and processes involved during the formation of planetary
bodies. For decades to come, meteorite analysis,  planetary exploration,
and sample return missions from bodies throughout the Solar System -
comets, asteroids, the Moon, and Mars - will provide critical insights
about the origins of the Solar System, planets, and life. The results will
also guide the development and direction of future sample return missions.
This session seeks contributions focusing on planetary material analyses
and analogues, remote observations, development of biodetection techniques,
and physical constraints in order to address a broad range of questions
related to cosmochemistry, planetary formation, evolution of planetary
surfaces, formation of habitable worlds, and also the search for evidence
of life past and present beyond Earth.

Keynote speaker: Briony Horgan (Purdue University)
