WELCOME TO GLASGOW! The organizing committee of the 1st British Planetary Science Congress welcome you to Glasgow. This meeting is jointly hosted by the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Centre (SUERC), and the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences, University of Glasgow. With 170 delegates presenting 45 talks and 62 posters it promises to be an exciting and scientifically rewarding few days. The Congress is timed to celebrate the centenary of the Strathmore meteorite fall, and follows successful planetary materials meetings at the Natural History Museum in 2015 and the University of Manchester in 2016. The Congress also incorporates the planetary exploration community, which meets annually under the auspices of the UK Space Agency. Furthermore, the UK Planetary Forum will hold its annual early career meeting in the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences on Wednesday 6 December. We hope that while in Glasgow you will be able to enjoy some of the attractions of Scotland’s biggest city, for example the Glasgow Science Centre, the Riverside Museum, and the Mackintosh House. The West End of Glasgow is the most vibrant part of the city, and is host to the University of Glasgow whose neo-Gothic main building also houses the Hunterian Museum. The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is nearby. We would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support: ThermoFisher Scientific, Nature Astronomy, The Meteoritical Society, and the UK Space Agency. We hope that you have an enjoyable and productive meeting! Darren Mark, SUERC Annemarie Pickersgill, SUERC/University of Glasgow Lydia Hallis, University of Glasgow Martin Lee, University of Glasgow

CELEBRATING THE CENTENARY OF THE STRATHMORE METEORITE Around 13:15 on 3 December 1917 scores of people, from Northumberland to Aberdeenshire,

saw an unusually bright, fiery mass streaking through the sky. A loud explosion was heard and four fragments fell to earth between Coupar Angus and Blairgowrie in Strathmore, Perthshire. Three landed in fields and one crashed through the roof of a cottage (Easter Essendy, 10.1 kg; Carsie, 1.1 kg; Keithick, 1.1 kg and South Corston, 1.0 kg). These four pieces were all recovered and collectively became known as the Strathmore Meteorite. It is classified as an L6 chondrite, meaning it has a low iron content (5-10%) and indistinct

chondrules that have been metamorphosed under conditions capable of homogenising all mineral compositions. John Faithfull, Hunterian Museum Peter Davidson, National Museums of Scotland

The SUERC mission is to perform, stimulate and support high quality basic, applied and strategic research within and beyond the UK University community, broadly in the Earth, Environmental and Biomedical Sciences. SUERC provides a focus in Scotland for high quality research through its own research programme and by assisting partner universities to successfully bid for and deliver research grants. Through teaching and training, SUERC contributes to the future supply of highly able scientists. Commercial research and testing is a valuable source of additional income and frequently contributes to national welfare and security. Collaborating with SUERC: Potential collaborators are encouraged to discuss their requirements with SUERC. There is no ring-fenced budget to cover the cost of analytical work but SUERC staff will lend their support to applications to fund such work. In addition, SUERC staff have some discretion to use resources generated from commercial activities in support of (i) pilot projects intended to increase the competitiveness of subsequent funding proposals, and (ii) research student projects. Researchers from all UK institutions eligible for NERC support can apply for NERC Facility time, which is allocated on a competitive basis by a number of steering committees. Details of the application process can be found on the individual NERC Facility web sites but it is strongly recommended that proposed projects are discussed in advance of an application with the Facility Heads and/or Managers. Access to the SUERC laboratories and facilities is predicated on full collaboration from project inception to joint publication. In addition, we are able to offer some of our services on a fully commercial and/or consultancy basis. Professor Darren F Mark Director of Research Darren.Mark@glasgow.ac.uk

Founded in 1451, Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the UK. It has been home to leaders in science including William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (who began studying at the age of 10!), Frederick Soddy (awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on isotopes) and Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who helped to discover radio pulsars. More recently, Sheila Rowan and colleagues have been at the forefront of the first detection of gravitational waves. The School of Geographical and Earth Sciences (GES) was established in 2005, and is part of the College of Science and Engineering. GES is based at two sites, in the East Quadrangle of the Gilbert Scott building (close to the University tower), and the Gregory Building, which is adjacent to Ashton Lane and its many bars and restaurants. The School has two undergraduate programmes, Geography and Earth Science, both ranked in the UK top 10. GES teaches ~1000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, and has ~70 MSc and PhD students in its graduate school. The School was recently awarded Athena SWAN Silver in recognition of its commitment to equality and diversity. Planetary science research is undertaken by the Solar System Volatiles (SOLVE) group, whose work focuses on understanding the transfer and cycling of volatiles throughout the early Solar System, on Mars, the Moon and early Earth. The group has close links with SUERC and the Hunterian Museum, and SOLVE members will available throughout the congress to give directions, suggestions for where to eat/drink, and to tell you about research at Glasgow and SUERC: Lydia Hallis, Sammy Griffin, Benjamin Cohen, Luke Daly, John Carter, Nicola Mari, Fabrizio Campanale, Aine O’Brien, Annemarie Pickersgill, and Philippe Nauny. Professor Martin R. Lee Head of School Martin.Lee@glasgow.ac.uk

Finding your way around Glasgow The Congress will be held in the Hilton Grosvenor hotel, which is located in the West End of Glasgow. The icebreaker reception on 3 December is in Oran Mor, a converted church opposite the Hilton and at the junction of Byres Road and the Great Western Road – directly across Byres Road from the conference venue. The easiest way to travel between the West End and centre of Glasgow is via the underground (aka the ‘clockwork orange’), and the closest stations to the Hilton Grosvenor are Hillhead and Kelvinbridge (map below). Underground tickets are purchased at the station (£1.65, single; £3.10 return), and you need to keep your ticket with you to exit the barriers at your destination. The underground runs from 6:30-23:25 Monday-Saturday and 10:00-17:50 on Sundays. There is more than one bus company operating in Glasgow, the best way to find directions is via the public transport directions on Google Maps. Bus tickets are purchased onboard, and some but not all buses provide change (bus fares range from £1.30 to £2.50; from the city centre to the West End should be approximately £1.30). Alternatively, the city centre is a 30 minute walk along Great Western Road. In the city centre are the two main train stations, Central and Queen Street, and bus connections to Glasgow airport.

Eating and drinking in the West End of Glasgow Food and drink are available in the Hilton, and in many other places within 5-10 minutes walk, most on or close to Byres Road and Great Western Road. The most lively spot to drink in the evening is Ashton Lane, which is adjacent to the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences (GES on the map below). It takes 10 minutes to walk from the Hilton to GES. Most restaurants and cafes in the West End have vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options: Take away sandwiches etc Sit-down meals 1 – Waitrose 4 – Café Andaluz (Spanish) 7 – The Chip (Scottish) 2 – Marks & Spencer 5 – Zizzi’s (Italian) 8 – Ashoka (Indian) 3 – Iceland 6 – Brel (Belgian)

OPENING ADDRESS

Professor Sheila Rowan University of Glasgow, Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland

Professor Sheila Rowan was appointed Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland in June 2016. This is a part-time position within the Scottish government. Sheila also remains Director of the Institute for Gravitational Research, University of Glasgow, a position she has held since 2009. She received an MBE in 2011. Sheila’s research is targeted at developing optical materials for use in gravitational wave detectors. Her recent work has been a crucial part of the Advanced LIGO upgrades, carried out between 2010 and 2015, that contributed to one of the most significant scientific breakthroughs of this century: the first detection of gravitational waves announced in February 2016. This resulted in a share of the 2016 Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics for her and the members of her team in Glasgow.

INVITED SPEAKERS Sanjeev Gupta, Imperial College: Prof. Sanjeev Gupta is Professor of Earth Science at

Imperial College, London. His research is concerned with the interpretation of geological and landscape features on Earth and on Mars; he is perhaps most well known for his work on the formation of the English Channel by ancient megafloods and his contribution to the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL: aka the Curiosity Rover) project. Sanjeev emigrated from India aged five. Following education at primary schools in Kent and Berkshire, then Reading Grammar School, he read geology at the University of Oxford. After a year in China working on a geological map of southern

China, he completed a PhD at the University of Oxford on relations between past tectonic activity and sedimentation in the southern French Alps. Following a number of postdoctoral positions in the US and the UK, Sanjeev joined Imperial College in 2003. Audrey Bouvier, University of Western Ontario: Dr. Audrey Bouvier, Canada Research Chair

in Planetary Materials, is using her research to answer such fundamental questions as how habitable worlds form and evolve over time. Dr. Bouvier uses a number of modern analytical methods to conduct detailed studies of geological and extraterrestrial materials. Her techniques include petrology—the study of minerals and their assemblages in rocks—and geochemistry—the measurement and interpretation of the chemical and isotopic compositions of planetary materials to understand their formation. In

particular, Dr. Bouvier is deciphering the chronology of planetary formation and evolution; this includes exploring the mechanisms responsible for chemical changes to trace metals found in planetary materials. To make such difficult isotopic measurements of trace metals in meteorites and samples returned from space missions, she and her students currently use state-of-the-art mass spectrometric facilities available in France and China. Hermann Boehnhardt, Max-Planck-Institute for Solar System Research: Dr. Hermann

Boehnhardt is a cometary scientist. After studies of physics and astronomy at the University of Erlangen, and a diploma on orbital dynamics of earth satellites in 1981, he obtained his PhD thesis on cometary dust in 1985. Thereafter, he spent five years of post-doctoral research on comets at Dr. Remeis Observatory in Bamberg/Germany. From 1990-1992, he was dynamics analyst at the European Space Operations Center (ESOC) of the European Space Agency in Darmstadt/Germany. In 1992 he became project manager and senior scientist of the FORS instrument project for the ESO VLT with duty

station at the University Observatory in Munich/Germany. Close to the completion of the first FORS instrument in 1997, he moved to the La Silla Observatory as ESO staff astronomer, and from 1999 to 2002 he was staff astronomer at VLT at Paranal. He then returned to Germany, first to the Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg/Germany, managing the LINC-NIRVANA interferometry project for the Large Binocular Telescope at Mt. Graham/USA. Finally, in 2004, he returned to his scientific roots when accepting a senior staff position at the MPS. He became responsible for the small bodies group and for coordinating the MPS science teams of the experiments onboard ESA's cometary mission ROSETTA, as well as lead scientist of the ROSETTA Lander PHILAE. His main scientific interests are comets, the Kuiper Belt, asteroids, moons of the outer planets, a bit of exoplanets, as well as building instruments to undertake the necessary observations from the ground and in space. Katie Joy, University of Manchester: Dr. Katie Joy is Royal Society University Research

Fellow/Senior Lecturer in the Isotope Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry research group of the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester. Her research focuses on studying the geological history of the Moon, studying lunar samples that were returned by the Apollo astronauts, and also lunar meteorites that we find here on Earth. Katie analyses these samples in the laboratory to investigate their chemistry, mineralogy and age as well as using data that has been collected by satellites orbiting the Moon. Together this information reveals the geological evolution of the Moon and also

provides insights to the wider history of the Solar System. Katie enjoys working in a field that is constantly changing and moving forward: new lunar space missions are returning data and stunning images from the Moon. Samples, which were collected 40 years ago by the Apollo astronauts, are analysed in more detail using new innovative techniques.
