Dear colleagues,

Please consider joining us for a hybrid planetary science workshop
https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/24-Planetary-Workshop aiming to tackle the
unknown questions surrounding the CM chondrite parent bodies, led by Dr
Martin Suttle of the Open University. The workshop will be based at
the Geological
Society of London
https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/Events/Venue-Hire/Our-spaces (remote
participation available), over two non-consecutive meeting days: 12 July
2024 and 24 January 2025.

Research focus: The microanalysis of CM meteorites (and CM-like
micrometeorites) has led to significant progress in our understanding of
the CM chondrite group, with particular attention directed towards their
accretionary properties and parent body alteration history. By contrast,
the larger-scale properties of the group, including the number of
first-generation accretionary parent bodies, as well as their size and the
internal structure remain poorly constrained. This Geological Society of
London (GSL) planetary workshop aims to bring together researchers from
across the UK (and further afield) who are interested in addressing these
key unknowns. Through collaborative research using a mixture of sample
analysis, numerical modelling and/or experimentation we intend to provide
new quantitative constraints on the number and large-scale structure of the
CM chondrite parent body (or bodies).

The aims of the workshop are to act as a catalyst for early solar system
research collaboration, to progress our understanding of the large-scale
structure of carbonaceous chondrite planetesimals, and to generate one or
more focused peer-reviewed publications to be published in the Journal of
the Geological Society of London https://www.geolsoc.org.uk/jgs.

Potential applicants are asked to provide an anonymised statement of
interest in the workshop via email to science@geolsoc.org.uk by the closing
date: 10 April 24.
