Call for papers
Dust, Atmosphere, and Plasma Environment of the Moon and Small Bodies
This special issue contains papers presented at the 4th Dust, Atmosphere, and Plasma Environment of the Moon and Small Bodies workshop (DAP-2023), which was held on June 5–7, 2023 in Boulder, Colorado. The workshop included over 100 participants, representing a wide spectrum of career stages from undergraduate students to distinguished senior scientists from across the international community. The workshop was organized as a part of the activities of the Institute for Modeling Plasmas, Atmospheres, and Cosmic Dust (IMPACT), a node of NASA’s Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute (SSERVI).
The DAP-2023 workshop, following the tradition of our previous meetings (LDAP-2010, DAP-2012, and DAP-2017), was a forum to discuss our current understanding of the environments of airless objects in the Solar System with special focus on the plasma/dust/surface interactions at the Moon, dust hazards and mitigation, and open science questions in the context of returning missions to the lunar surface. The program of the workshop and the presentations are available online at http://impact.colorado.edu/dap/2023/index.html.
