A community of planetary scientists working in Paris and the broader region of Ile-de-France. https://www.ile-de-france-planets.fr/
We also provide several #OpenSource internet services that aim to foster interactions among planetary scientists and that will allow researchers to share their work with the public. We currently run a Mattermost server and a Mastodon instance, and we will launch a Peertube video server later this year.
All of our services are free to use for association members, so sign up and become a member today. Membership is free!
The Planetary Research Cooperative is happy to announce our new home on Mastodon! 🎉
We are a new community-run non-profit organization that will serve the interests of the #PlanetaryScience community. Our primary mission is to publish the journal Planetary Research, which will be the first #DiamondOpenAccess journal devoted to our field. This journal will launch at the end of this year and it will be free for authors and free to access.
The Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (#IPGP) is looking for a new director!
The deadline to apply is July 15.
📅 Mardi 17 décembre, nous vous proposons 2 rendez-vous.
🎙 Vous êtes en région parisienne ? RDV dès 19h30 au Vieux Châtelet, pour un mardi de l'espace consacré à la mission BepiColombo. Comme chaque mois, l'événement sera enregistré et disponible sur podcast.cnes.fr.
🎁 Vous êtes ailleurs ou vous préférez le confort de votre canapé ? RDV à 20h sur https://twitch.tv/cnes_france pour un quiz rétrospective de l'année. Des petits cadeaux sont prévus pour les plus rapides... à condition de répondre juste 😉
If you are a planetary scientist who is part of a #Slack community using the free plan, consider migrating your team to #Mattermost on the Solar System Social #PlanetaryScience server. Slack will start deleting your content that is older than 1 year starting January 28, 2025!
The last lecture of the #CollegeDeFrance series by Alessandro Morbidelli will take place on Dec.11 and will cover Trojans and irregular satellites:
L’origine des satellites irréguliers des planètes géantes et des Troyens de Jupiter et Neptune dans le modèle de Nice
https://www.college-de-france.fr/fr/agenda/cours/origine-et-evolution-du-systeme-solaire-externe
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.
If you want to learn more, please check out the recording of our kick-off meeting in November:

Announcing an initiative to create a Planetary Science Diamond Open Access Journal
Are you sick of paying exorbitant fees to publish your work? Then please join our community to create a planetary science journal that is free for authors and readers alike.
The #PlanetaryScience community is in the process of creating a new diamond open access journal (#DOAJ) that will be free for authors and free for readers.
We just had our first kickoff meeting yesterday, so if this is something that interests you, please check out the presentation and get involved!

The first order of business is to converge on a name for the journal....
We just published our lastest results on the 3D simulation of the weather above #Titan 's lakes. In brief, it is quite windy above peninsulas!

The deadline to register for the "Earth and Planets Origin and Evolution Workshop" that will be held in Paris (May 13-17) is approaching. If you would like to attend, or submit an abstract, the deadline is February 15!
The oral sessions will take place in the Verniquet Amphitheater of the National Natural History Museum of Paris, and the poster sessions will take place across the street at the ground floor of #IPGP.
Sur Mars, des avalanches de poussière déclenchées par des grands séismes
En croisant les données recueillies par le sismomètre SEIS dans le cadre de la mission #InSight sur #Mars et les données orbitales disponibles, une équipe scientifique révèle que l'activité sismique martienne peut être responsable d'avalanches de poussière.

On Mars, dust avalanches triggered by major earthquakes
By correlating data collected by the SEIS seismometer as part of the #InSight mission on #Mars with available orbital data, a scientific team reveals that Martian seismic activity can be responsible for dust avalanches.

If you are looking for a teaching/research position in the field of #PlanetaryScience, there are two opportunities in #Paris this year.
One associate professor (maitre de conférence) position is open at the Ecole Normale Supériere (#ENS, Laboratoire de Géologie), and another is open at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (#IPGP).

Bonjour #Mastodon aujourd'hui est mon premier jour en tant que #professeur à la faculté des #sciences de #SorbonneUniversité
Hello #Mastodon today is my first day as a #fullprofessor at the Faculty of Sciences of #SorbonneUniversité
Did you know that the methane lakes on #Titan trigger "strong" lake breezes towards the land? And the winds at the shore are stronger during the day.
This is the subject of our recent paper: http://dx.doi.org/10.3847/PSJ/ac8d0b
