Call for Abstracts: AGU 2025 Session on Planetary Volatiles & Habitability
by Abin Shakya 01 Jul '25

01 Jul '25

Hi everyone, We invite submissions to our AGU 2025 session: Fate of Volatiles During Magmatic Processes in Planetary Interiors: Implications on the Origins of Habitability 🔗 Session Link : https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/prelim.cgi/Sess… 📅 Abstract Deadline: 30 July 2025 23:59 EDT/03:59 +1 GMT This session focuses on how life-enabling elements (e.g., C, S, N, O, H) are acquired, mobilized, and retained within terrestrial planets through magmatic processes such as core formation, magma ocean convection and crystallization, volcanic outgassing, and subduction. These processes are key to understanding the internal distribution of volatiles and how they shape planetary habitability. We welcome interdisciplinary contributions from fields including: 1. Cosmochemistry and experimental petrology 1. Thermodynamic, molecular, and fluid dynamics modeling 1. Smoothed-particle hydrodynamics simulations 1. Machine learning or AI-based approaches in planetary research 2. Early-career researchers and those working at the intersection of multiple disciplines are especially encouraged to contribute. For questions or more information, feel free to contact the conveners: Ekanshu Mallick – emallick(a)tulane.edu Leila Honarbakhsh – leila.hon(a)gmail.com Abin Shakya – ashaky3(a)lsu.edu Damanveer Grewal - damanveer.grewal(a)yale.edu Thanks Best Regards, Abin Shakya

XFM Pipeline ('It's smokin')
by Tappero, Ryan 28 May '25

28 May '25

Hey folks, Friendly reminder: new proposals AND beamtime requests (BTRs) for existing proposals are due FRIDAY...well, technically Saturday, 31-May (11:59pm New York time). Here's a look at what's in the XFM/BIC Pipeline in 2025: I. Continuum Infrared Microscope at NSLS-II: The BioImaging Core (BIC) of the NSLS-II/CBMS is rebuilding a Nicolet Continuum Infrared Microscope that was routinely used for Environmental Sciences at the original NSLS. BIC is collaborating with the 22-IR lead beamline scientist and team to integrate the IR microscope into the 22-IR photon delivery system. Replacing the glowbar source with synchrotron IR light significantly improves the spatial resolution and speed of the Continuum Infrared Microscope. One phase of the refurbishment project involved the vendor replacing the spectrometer unit, and this work has been completed. Another phase of the project that is currently underway is contracting with the vendor to reverse the handedness of the system so that it can be easily integrated into 22-IR. This procurement is now funded and underway, and the work should be completed in the coming months. Stay tuned for opportunities to get involved with early commissioning activities. [cid:7e97d954-b684-41bb-b6f7-3854674f0547] II. New large-field-of-view XRF Imaging Station The BioImaging Core (BIC) is also responsible for a new X-ray Fluorescence Imaging station that covers a broad range of energies (5 source targets) for sensitivity to both light (eg P) and heavy elements (eg U) with spatial resolutions ranging from 5 to 15 microns. Please reach out to Dr. Tiffany Victor (tvictor(a)bnl.gov) about opportunities to get involved with commissioning activities. [cid:0a718406-c357-45bb-b870-a5192bb6a75d] III. 8th Synchrotron Environmental Science Symposium (registration open and abstracts due 31-July) [Graphical user interface, website AI-generated content may be incorrect.] We are pleased to announce the 8th Synchrotron Environmental Science (SES) Symposium, which will be held at Stony Brook University from September 29 – October 1, 2025.
