PLANETARY SCIENCE JOB ANNOUNCEMENT Category: Ph.D. PhD position in lunar geodynamics German Aerospace Center Berlin, Germany https://jobs.planetary-research.org/e5b4-817c

This is really unbelievable: The cost of posting a simple job announcement on the AGU website is $685 for 1 month and and $915 for two months. Add more for "premium" features.

Check out our new #PlanetaryScience Jobs website jobs.planetary-research.org and its Bluesky account here @jobs.planetary-research.org Its free to use, and free to post! We are still making some changes, so feedback is welcome. We'll make a proper announcement in about a week.

This is a small thread on #PlanetaryScience and how certain old resources are retained - I fear - only on @archive.org. Even ADS seems to miss them. This thread is by all means no complete account. Technology is there to try and preserve, and make discoverable (again) such scholarly record.

The 2026 Geology & Planetary Mapping winter school talks are now online at solarsystem.video! solarsystem.video/w/p/wsZPLYdM... If you couldn't attend in person, you will find 33 videos that focus on mapping techniques and tools used for Venus, the Moon, Mars, and icy satellites.

Thanks to everyone for filling out the survey about the future priorities of the Planetary Research Cooperative! Here's a screenshot of the results (without the text comments, which were very helpful):

The Planetary Research Cooperative was formed just over one year ago, and we are now looking for input to help us prioritize our activities for the coming year. If you would like to help us, please consider filling out this survey. #PlanetaryScience forms.solarsystem.tools/planetary-re...

🎉 Announcing a new LiberaForms server for #PlanetaryScience! 🎉 LiberaForms does everything that Google forms does, and more. You can share ownership of forms, you can download responses, there are no usage limits, and you can even set up end-to-end encryption. And no AI! forms.solarsystem.tools

Planetary Research is organizing its first special issue! Surface-Environment Interactions on Icy Moons of the Outer Solar System The deadline for submissions is September 1. For more info, see the journal website: planetary-research.org/announcement...

Thanks to everyone who attended our General Assembly yesterday! As part of the meeting we gave an overview of the association, the services we provide, the Planetary Research journal, and our priorities for the coming year. If you missed it, here's the recording.  solarsystem.video/w/wD7ZEZGqQh...

I’m excited by the work the Research Operative is doing. The last 18 months make clear that scientists in general need robust organizational structure outside the control of governments and corporations, including and especially the publishers.

The Planetary Research Cooperative will be holding its first annual General Assembly on monday, March 30 @ 16:00 CEST (online). All members are welcome to attend!

Our peertube video server solarsystem.video has on-boarded most of the major planetary science channels, and we are now up to over 1700 videos. Unlike YouTube, 0% of our videos show ads, we do not provide cloud services to ICE, and we are not contributing to building the Trump ballroom. 🧵 1/N

The deadline to register for the upcoming Planetary Science Community Workshop (2026) in Louisville KY is January 31. If you are interested in attending, please register as soon as possible! planetaryworkshop.org

The number of abstracts submitted to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (#LPSC) this year is down by almost 50% when compared to normal years. It's hard to say what is the main cause, but big factors are Europeans who don't want to travel to the […] [Original post on solarsystem.social]

Have you ever wanted to post a summary of a paper you published, post an announcement for the entire #PlanetaryScience community, or write a blog? If so, you probably realized that there are few good solutions for our community. The Planetary Research Blog aims to fill this void.

The Planetary Research Cooperative is getting close to launching our #PlanetaryScience diamond open access journal. If you would like to see what we've been doing the past six months, check out this video recording of yesterday's community meeting. solarsystem.video/w/v8MB1SS3fE...

Are you a student that wants to learn about geologic mapping of planetary bodies? If so, then checkout out the Geologic and Planetary Mapping winter school lectures on our #PlanetaryScience video server solarsystem.video. You will find almost 200 videos from 2021 to 2025, all with no ads!

Do changes in Earth's orbit and obliquity give rise to signals that can be recorded in the geologic record? Can sedimentary deposits help constrain the evolution of the #Moon's orbit? Check out the AstroGeo seminar series for answers! Now on solarsystem.video (no ads!). #PlanetaryScience

We have just migrated the Taiwan Space Union's Mini-Moon Seminar Series to our #PlanetaryScience video server ! solarsystem.video This ongoing series started in 2020 and contains over 100 recorded seminars by leading experts in lunar science. It is no longer mini! #TheMoon

The Planetary Research Cooperative is pleased to announce the launch of our community video server that is devoted exclusively to #PlanetaryScience content: SolarSystem.Video 🎉 🎉 🎉 solarsystem.video The platform uses #Peertube, is not monetized and shows no ads.

We are happy to announce the inaugural editorial board of our soon to launch diamond open access journal, Planetary Research. Read our blog post for more information! coop.planetary-research.org/blog/2025/07... #PlanetaryScience #DiamondOA

Article processing fees at JGR-Planets are now only $4,070!And they are beating their "competitors"! Perhaps there isn't a need for a #PlanetaryScience #DiamondOpenAccess journal after all.

The Planetary Research Cooperative is happy to announce our new home on Bluesky! 🎉 We are a new community-run non-profit organization that will serve the interests of the #PlanetaryScience community. coop.planetary-research.org
