Europlanet NA1 workshop: Uniting Planetary Modelling and Data Analysis - Part 2

Following the initial success of the related Europlanet Networking Activity workshop which took place last year in Greece, a 'follow-up' workshop will take place on 22 - 25 July 2019.

Background

The large scientific communities involved in the analysis and modelling of ground- and space-based datasets related to planetary environments in our Solar System have, over many decades, developed sophisticated models, algorithms and software for supporting this kind of research.  With missions such as Cassini leaving a large legacy dataset for Saturn, Juno expected to do the same for Jupiter, and JUICE in the pre-launch phase of development, now is the time to raise awareness of these resources and in what form their originators have provided or plan to provide them to the wider community.

Following the initial success of the related Europlanet NA1 workshop which took place last year in Greece, a 'follow-up' workshop is scheduled to take place from 22 - 25 July 2019.

As before, this workshop aims to unite planetary modellers, providers of data analysis tools / services, and any planetary scientists who wish to find out more about these kind of resources, which could facilitate their research activities.

The format of the workshop will follow the established scheme of a combination of ~30-minute presentations and 'tutorial sessions' on the use of model outputs / data analysis resources. If possible this year, we would like to conduct even more 'tutorial sessions', which could be anywhere up to about 2 hours in duration, according to the wishes of the presenter.

Keynote speaker: Tom Krimigis

We are delighted and honoured to have Dr Stamatios (Tom) M. Krimigis - Emeritus Head of the Space Department at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab, and Academician & Director of the Office of Space Research and Technology, Academy of Athens - join us for the workshop. He will be delivering his keynote talk, "Voyagers 1 & 2 in the Near Interstellar Medium: Observations and Predictions", on Monday 22 July. Further programme details to follow soon.

• A brief biography of Dr Krimigis.
