Space @ Oxford are supporting the Physics Department’s Planetary Surfaces Research Group (led by Prof Neil Bowles).
About: Our Planetary Surfaces group in the Physics Department is heavily involved in several current and upcoming missions to the Moon including Lunar Trailblazer, the Farside Seismic Suite, and PROSPECT, and we would like to know more about other lunar (or lunar-adjacent) research going on within the university. We would like to invite you to attend a one-day meeting open to Oxford researchers and their students to showcase the types of Moon-related work going on across the university. We hope to learn more about our colleagues, to encourage and explore possible collaborations, and to build a network across departments to facilitate interaction, especially among students and early career researchers. Registration is free. We encourage all PIs or group lead/supervisor attendees to submit a flash talk, or if a postdoc/student to submit a poster.
Registration: Google Docs (closes 7th November 2022).
Target audience: PIs, PDRAs and DPhil students in related research fields.
Goals: 1) Showcase Oxford lunar research 2) Create a Moon network to encourage collaborations 3) Help students across disciplines interact and become aware of different aspects of space/lunar study.
