Weather, Climate and Seasons in the Solar System
Richard Soare is a physical geographer specializing in periglacial (cold-climate, non-glacial landscapes). Through the last twenty years he has spent considerable time in the Canadian arctic (physically) and off-planet (intellectually), attempting to identify landscapes on Mars present or past possibly molded by the freeze-thaw cycling of water. His work spans the red planet geographically, ranging from the plains of Utopia Planitia in the northern hemisphere and the Moreux impact-crater at the Mars dichotomy through to the Argyre impact-crater in the southern hemisphere. Recently, he lead-edited “Mars Geological Enigmas: from the late Noachian Epoch to the present day and a special issue of Icarus: “Current and Recent Landscape Evolution on Mars. Jean-Pierre Williams is a planetary scientist at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA). He received his PhD in Geophysics and Space Physics from UCLA and was a research scientist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) for five years before accepting a position at UCLA. His work focuses on the geology and physics of the inner planets, and he has authored and co-authored over sixty peer-reviewed publications on Mars, Mercury, and the Earth’s Moon. He is currently the Deputy Principal Investigator of the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a member of the ShadowCam instrument team on the Korean Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (Danuri) mission, which will image the permanently shadowed regions near the poles of the Moon, and a Co-Investigator of the Lunar Vulkan Imaging and Spectroscopy Explorer (Lunar-VISE), a lander and rover that will explore the summit of a volcanic dome on the Moon. Dr. Amanda Hendrix is a planetary scientist specializing in UV spectroscopy of planetary surfaces, focusing on icy satellites, asteroids, and the moons of Mars and Jupiter, particularly Io. Her research encompasses the analysis of surface composition, weathering processes, and radiation products, contributing to our understanding of celestial bodies such as Callisto, Ceres, and Enceladus. Dr. Hendrix has played pivotal roles in various space missions, including Cassini, Galileo, and Mariner 10, serving as Deputy Mission PI and Instrument Co-Investigator. Her expertise in photometry, remote sensing, and space-based observing has been instrumental in generating mission requirements and guiding science operations. With a strong background in spectroscopy, Dr. Hendrix’s work enhances our knowledge of planetary rings, small satellites, and the Moon, positioning her as a key figure in contemporary planetary exploration and research. Dr. James B. Garvin is the chief scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, where he provides strategic guidance on scientific priorities. With over 40 years of experience in Earth and planetary science, he is also the principal investigator of NASA's DAVINCI mission to Venus. Previously, Dr. Garvin served as NASA's chief scientist, advising multiple administrators on key science strategies, including Mars exploration. He played a crucial role in selecting missions such as the Mars Exploration Rovers and the Curiosity Rover, earning two NASA Outstanding Leadership Medals and three Presidential Rank Awards. His expertise spans geology, geophysics, and impact cratering processes. He has led numerous remote-sensing campaigns and participated in several high-profile missions, publishing over 100 peer-reviewed articles. Dr. Garvin holds a Ph.D. in Geological Sciences from Brown University and enjoys exploring nature with his family in Columbia, Maryland.

Caitlin Ahrens is a postdoctoral research scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland. Dr. Ahrens received her B.S. in Physics/Astrophysics and Geology from West Virginia University in 2015, and a Ph.D. in Space and Planetary Science at the University of Arkansas in 2020. She has an outstanding record in public engagement and science communication, through lectures, local radio, and international collaborations. Her main area of research involves remote sensing of icy surfaces and volatile interactions, from the Moon to the outer Solar System at Pluto. Frances Butcher is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of Sheffield in the UK. She completed her PhD, entitled ‘Wet-Based Glaciation on Mars’, at the Open University in 2019. She is a geomorphologist whose research focuses on glaciation and other ice-related processes on Mars and Earth. Her particular interest is in the landforms left behind by glaciers and ice sheets, and their implications for past environmental change on both planets. Her research involves the use of remote sensing data for mapping and quantitative 3D terrain analyses, as well as interplanetary comparisons. These techniques inform empirical and numerical modelling reconstructions of glacial processes and past environmental change. To date, she has authored/co-authored 17 peer-reviewed publications. She is currently the chair of the International Association of Geomorphologists Planetary Geomorphology Working Group. Mohamed Ramy El-Maarry is currently the director of the Space and Planetary Science Center and an associate professor of planetary sciences at Khalifa University in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates. He has been involved with numerous space missions in the past 15 years for both ESA and NASA, including ESA’s Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, and ESA’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission, in addition to being on the science teams for numerous other active and future missions including the HiRISE camera on board NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, ESA’s Comet Interceptor mission, and the UAE’s upcoming Emirates Lunar Mission. His research covers planetary surfaces with a focus on geomorphology and associated physical processes. In addition to his research activities, he has participated in numerous reviewing and expert NASA and ESA evaluation panels.

Applications of Computer Technology to Dynamical Astronomy
decision and investigative process of the scientist, they can also wri te the paragra}ils of scientific resul ts. Once a canputer research activity progresses from intuitive guesses to a systematic study, the canputer program can free the scientist to pursue new original ideas. '!his concept is illustrated in the ptper by Hut. Sussnan says "Knowledge" is knowing what not to canpute. His main message is that we must change from trying to maximize the efficiency of the canputer to maximizing the effectiveness of the scientist. The canputer is relatively cheap, it is the trained scientist who is most valuable. In the second keynote address, R. L. Duncombe (University of Texas) described the "Early Applications of Canputer Technology to Dynamical Astronany. " His talk traced the worldwide introduction of punched card equipnent and their applications through the use of the first electronic canputers. Sussman and Duncombe, therefore, provided a forecast and review of the use of computers in dynamical astronany. This proceedings is intended to provide a consolidated general view of the ptst, present, and future of the Applications of Canputer Technology to Dynamical Astronany. Of necessity this requires that the ptpers be rela ti vely short and provide references to the more canplete discussions. Thanks to the representa tion from so many different countries the proceedings give a picture of the activities worldwide. The Scientific Organizing Comnittee included K. B. IIlatnagar, V. A. Brtmberg, G. Contopoulos, A. Depri t , J. Henrard, J. Kovalevsky, Y.
