From 02 to 07 August, 2026, a few thousand geoscientists across diverse disciplines will gather at the 23rd annual meeting of the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society at the Fukuoka International Congress Centre, Japan.
The abstract submission deadline is 23 January 2026.
The ST sessions and a few PS sessions are relevant to ATST. You will find below a session that has been specifically advertised to ATST.
Session PS04 — Aeronomy and Plasma Physics of Planetary Environments
Conveners: Dr Yutian Cao (Sun Yat-sen University), Dr Lina Hadid (National Centre for Scientific Research/Sorbonne Université-Ecole Polytechnique), Dr Yuki Harada (Nagoya University), Dr Shaosui Xu (University of California, Berkeley)
This session focuses on the near-space neutral and ionized environments of solar system objects except Earth. Thermospheres, exospheres, ionospheres and magnetospheres are affected by the source regions at low altitudes and by their interaction with the solar wind. A variety of past and present missions are dedicated to analysis of such planetary environments. This wealth of data as well as increasingly sophisticated modeling capabilities have driven great advances over the last two decades in our understanding of the structure, variability, composition and dynamics of these environments. For example, we are starting to elucidate the complex two-way coupling between surfaces and surface-bound exospheres, between thermospheres and ionospheres, between photochemically-dominated collisional ionospheres and transport-dominated upper ionospheres, and between all these regions and the highly variable solar wind. We invite contributions concerning airless bodies such as Mercury (MESSENGER, BepiColombo), Earth’s moon (THEMIS-ARTEMIS, Kaguya, Chang’e, Chandrayaan), the Jovian moons (Galileo and Juno), Kuiper Belt Objects (New Horizons) and asteroids (Dawn) as well as bodies with substantial atmospheres such as Venus (PVO, VEx, Parker Solar Probe), Mars (MGS, MEx, MAVEN, InSight, EMM, Tianwen-1), Titan (Cassini), comets (Rosetta) and the giant planets (Cassini, Galileo, Juno). Both data-focused and modeling studies (and those which combine the two) are encouraged. Comparative studies are particularly welcome as are presentations on future missions and instrumentation concepts which address the goal of understanding and characterizing planetary near-space environments. Both solicited and contributed talks will be included.
