In response to the Trump executive orders, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (#LPI) is removing abstracts from previously held meetings that used to be archived on their website. Here is an example of one that was removed from the 2025 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC).

Mural of the Croatian scientist Andrija Mohorovičić in the city of #Osijek where he once taught. He is best known for his discovery of the crust-mantle interface using seismic data from a 1909 earthquake. This interface is now known as the Moho, as no one can pronounce or properly spell his name.

If you will be in Paris next week, you are all invited to attend the Ph.D. defense of Tri Dung Nguyen. "Photometric modeling to characterize planetary surfaces in the solar domain" The thesis is directed by Stéphane Jacquemoud and Antoine Lucas, and will take place at #IPGP on December 11 @14:00.

Abstract: How do Earth's and planetary surfaces evolve? Using photometry and the Hapke BRDF model, we map surface properties like roughness and grain size from Pleiades imagery. Study sites: Djibouti’s rift (Mars-like terrain) & Apollo landing sites. Field & lab data validate findings.
