DPS 48 / EPSC 11 Hotel & Late Registration Deadlines Quickly Approaching

The joint 48th Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) and 11th European Planetary Science Congress (EPSC) meeting is just over a month away. The meeting will take place in Pasadena, California, 16–21 October 2016, and we anticipate an exciting program, including stellar plenary speakers who will discuss highlights from various missions, such as Rosetta, Akatsuki, New Horizons, Mars Science Laboratory, Juno, and Dawn, among other topics. This meeting will capture the breadth of international planetary science by combining the scientific results of the participants in the DPS and EPSC research communities at one joint meeting.
