AOGS 2018, session PS08,
Polarization as a Tool for Exploration of Earth, Solar System and Beyond
Honolulu,
Hawaii, June 3-8, 2018; http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2018/ Abstract
submission deadline January 19.
Polarimetry is a powerful
observing tool and modeling technique, providing information about cosmic
objects that cannot be obtained by traditional photometric/spectroscopic
observations. Innovative developments in vector radiative transfer theory,
laboratory measurements, and the increasing significance of non-sphericity effects on
retrieval efforts showcase the importance of polarimetric exploration of the
solar system and other planetary systems. This session is open to papers about
observations of solar system bodies (including the Earth), theoretical or
experimental investigations, instrument developments for ground-based
facilities and space missions.
Conveners: Padma A.Yanamandra-Fisher (Space Science Institute,
USA) Lucyna Chudczer (University of New
South Wales, Australia), Shashikiran Ganesh
(Physical Research Laboratory, India),
Svetlana Berdyugina (Kiepenheuer Institut fuer Sonnenphysik,
Germany), Ludmilla Kolokolova (University of Maryland, USA).

12th International
conference series on LASER-LIGHT AND INTERACTIONS WITH PARTICLES (LIP)
March 5th-9th, 2018, in
College Station, Texas
Conference secretariat: lip2018-contact@tamu.edu
Conference web site: www.atmo.tamu.edu/lip2018
The committees of the
conference series on "Laser-light and Interactions with Particles"
would like to thank all contributors who have met the early deadline and are
pleased to inform you that the Abstract Submission Deadline for the LIP
conference has been extended to January 21st, 2018.
Abstracts for both Oral
and Poster contributions are welcomed, in particular the following topics:
far-field scattering, beam shape description, time-resolved scattering,
mechanical effects of light, multiple scattering in dense media,
complicated particle morphologies (overall shapes, micro-scale textures, and
compositions), near fields and morphology-dependent-resonances, optical
particle sizing and characterization methods, and more. More information
on the abstract submission process can be found under: https://sites.google.com/a/tamu.edu/lip2018/authors/abstract-submission
We are looking forward to
welcome you in College Station, the heart of Texas.
