Next week at the #GSA2025, I'll be presenting my newly developed Python tool, πππͺππππΉππππππ. We apply it to quantitatively re-examine the correlatability of Cascadia deep-water turbidites, previously interpreted as synchronous deposits of paleo-earthquakes.

Planetary geology folks, section meetings for GSA are in the spring. Smaller, but cheaper than a half week of LPSC, posters double the size, talks 17 minutes, abstracts 345 words. Come meet some of your local colleagues!
(LPSC was my first meeting, I love going - but hate what it has become.)

Thinking far in advance of LPSC 2026 but I do think that a wider, organized boycott would be a very interesting and effective strategy! And it could be fun to organize some counter-programming for those of us boycotting. Maybe "present your favorite LPI-removed abstract" π

Terra is of the missions that this administration wants to terminate as it eliminates Earth science from NASA. Gosh I dunno, but it kinda seems like maybe we want more of these satellites, not less? π€

A shallow mantle source for the Changβe 5 lavas reveals how top-down heating prolonged lunar magmatism
The chemistry of the youngest lunar lavas and experiments show how the mantle stayed hot enough to melt for billions of years.
π¨New Paper Alert!π¨
I've got a new paper out in Science Advances where we show that the 2 byr old Chang'e 5 magma came from shallow depths in the lunar mantle, and that melting was likely driven by top-down heating of the mantle by radioactive decay in a sub-crustal KREEP layer.

Planetary geo folks, consider proposing planetary sessions for your regional GSA meeting (and submit abstracts!). Regionals are small but also more affordable, esp. for students.
Yeah, regions donβt usually have much planetary b/c spring is LPSC. Letβs change that. Session proposals due July 15.

USRA/LPI has announced that they intend to proceed with "LPSC 2026" next year, despite NASA seemingly no longer planning to support that meeting.
But why would the community participate in such a meeting when USRA/LPI has shown such disregard for topics we hold to be important?

Request for Information: Conference on Lunar, Planetary and Space Sciences Decision Made Not to Solicit Partnership
Proposals
Number: NNH25ZDA006L
Short URL: https://go.nasa.gov/LPSS24RFI
The Science Mission Directorate's (SMD)
Planetary Science Division(PSD) is updating its Community Announcement regarding future Lunar, Planetary and Space Sciences Conferences that was published under Number: NNH25ZDA006L as a special notice on SAM.gov.
In November 2024, NASA issued a Request for Information (RFI) NNH25ZDA006L to gauge interest in a partnership to organize a conference on lunar, planetary, and space science. Based on the response to this RFI, NASA gave an update on progress towards a future release of an Announcement for Partnership Proposals (AFPP) in February 2025. This email notice is to inform the community that, at this time, NASA has decided not to pursue an AFPP as described in the RFI and the "Questions and Answers for the LPSS RFI posted February 10, 2025 (pdf)". The Planetary Science Division is studying options for future support of community-led and community-driven
Today in examples of how obeying in advance gets you nothing.
LPI took down all our DEIA related abstracts to avoid pissing off NASA.
And NASA just killed LPSC.
