Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society

Comparative Planetology Forum meeting – Exploring the Solar System using missions and returned samples

9 May 2025, Ferguson Room, University of Glasgow

The aim of this one-day meeting is to provide an opportunity for researchers in planetary science and related fields (e.g., astrobiology, exoplanets, early Earth) to share results, ideas and initiate future collaborations. The meeting’s focus is on the discoveries and opportunities afforded by the recent return of samples from near-Earth asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, the analysis of the moon and Mars by landers, and the natural return of extraterrestrial samples as meteorites (e.g., Winchcombe). We can also look forward to future missions to collect and return samples from the Moon, Mars and asteroids. There will be two invited speakers who will help provide the setting and explore scientific opportunities.

Abstracts for oral and poster presentations are invited from members of SAGES institutions, and contributions from early career researchers are especially encouraged. The meeting is free, and lunch and refreshments will be provided. Travel grants are available for early career researchers.

Registration will open on 14th March and the abstract deadline is 9 April 2025.

Further details will be published on the Comparative Planetology webpage.
