SUMMARY:Astrochemistry in Planetary Science - ACS Fall 2026 National Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Overview: Astrochemistry is a diverse discipline spanning virtually all divisions of chemistry and plays a vital role in planetary science. This symposium aims to foster new collaborations by highlighting current efforts to support astronomical discoveries\, planetary missions\, instrument development\, human exploration\, and the search for life beyond Earth. We welcome contributions from all chemistry related planetary science research with special sessions focused on Mars Chemistry\, Lunar Exploration\, Cold Solar System Objects\, Chemistry of Biosignatures\, and Field Work in Analog Environments.

SUMMARY:Food Production and Space Research in Antarctica
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time Aug 27\, 2026 11:00 AM in\nEastern Time (US and Canada)\nREGISTRATION \nWe’re kicking off the second half of 2026 with Episode #08 of SpaceAg Conversations\, exploring a fascinating question: What can one of Earth’s harshest environments teach us about resilient agriculture\, and how can it help prepare us for future space missions? \nOperating year-round in one of the planet’s most isolated and extreme environments\, Antarctic research stations face many of the same challenges expected in future lunar and Martian habitats: limited resources\, complex logistics\, and the need to produce fresh food far from traditional supply chains. \nThis webinar explores how research and technologies developed for these remote stations are advancing terrestrial agricultural systems while helping humanity pave the way for sustainable food production beyond Earth. \nJoin us to explore the intersection of polar science\, sustainable agriculture\, and space exploration. The discussion will feature pioneering Antarctic initiatives\, from the world’s first zero-emission Princess Elisabeth Antarctica research station and the development of the Andromeda Earth Observatory to the EDEN ISS container-based greenhouse\, which has served as a testbed for future space agriculture systems. \nEnvironments like Antarctica provide a unique real-world analogue for future space habitats\, where innovations in plant science\, controlled environment food production\, resource efficiency\, and bioregenerative life-support systems are developed\, tested\, and refined. Discover how lessons learned in such extreme\, remote locations are shaping the future of human spaceflight while strengthening agricultural resilience here on our planet. \nThe session will include expert presentations followed by a Q&A session\, giving you the opportunity to engage with the speakers and ask your questions. Register now to discover how Antarctica’s research is shaping food production on Earth and in space.
