The annual Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) meeting came and went, July 27-Aug 1, in Singapore. Forgot to post this, sorry:
AOGS2025 SESSION PS19: HYDRATION IN AIRLESS BODIES OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
The recent decades have brought a revolution in our understanding of the distribution of water in airless bodies in the Solar System. Discoveries like water ice in the Permanently Shaded Regions of Mercury, water vapor around Ceres, hydration of the surface of the Moon and asteroids, and aqueous alterations inside samples from the Moon and asteroids revealed the surprising pervasiveness of water in Solar System’s airless bodies and pose the question of where this water came from.
We welcome submissions of abstracts covering laboratory investigations, remote and in situ measurements of water molecules, and modeling of the transport of water molecules in exospheres and its interaction with the surface in Solar System airless bodies.
The abstract submission deadline is February 18, 2025.
Conveners:
Cesare Grava (SwRI, USA)
Amanda Hendrix (PSI, USA)
Shuai Li (University of Hawai’i, USA)
Yang “Steve” Liu (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China)
Christian Wohler (Technical Universitv of Dortmund, Germany)

AOGS2025 Session PS26: Astrochemical Processes Leading to the FORMATION OF PLANETARY BODIES IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM
This Session will bring together researchers in the fields of planetary science, astrophysics, astrochemistry, and atmospheric science whose work focuses on the study of molecular interactions towards the formation of organic compounds in planetary environments, including comets, asteroids, planetary object (planets, dwarf planets, and moons) surfaces, and planetary object atmospheres. This also includes studies covering the formation of simple chemical precursors up to larger and more complex macromolecular organic compounds.
Research areas that are encouraged include, but are not limited to, all spectral ranges of laboratory investigations, particle (electrons, protons, cosmic rays) and radiation (ultraviolet, extreme ultraviolet, X-ray photons) interaction with all phases of matter including ices and tholins, and theoretical and laboratory cross sections and reaction rates, with emphasis on applications to planetary, cometary, and astronomical observations.
