    July 13th, 2020

    Welcome

    15:00 - 15:10: Join the call + Introduction

    ​​​​​

    Proposal pitches

    15:10 - 15:20     David Pegg, The Open University               Explosive volcanism, what we can learn and what it might tell us about Mercury
    15:20 - 15:30 David Pegg, The Open University Tectonics, both local structures and large scale implications
    15:30 - 15:40 Indhu Varatharajan, DLR ML driven spectral analysis for maximising the Mercury surface science using integrated spectroscopy approach
    15:40 - 15:50 Jack Wright, The Open University What can Bepi tell us about volatile diven processes on Mercury? (morphology/morphometry? Volatile identity?)
    15:50 - 16:00 Jakub Vaverka, Charles University Plasma surface interaction (surface charging), dust charging and transport
    16:00 - 16:10 Joana Oliveira, ESA Are charged particles behaving differently near the known weak crustal magnetic fields?
    16:10 - 16:20 Nicolas Bott, CRPG-LESIA Chemical (e.g. what about Fe?) and mineralogical composition of the surface, and its evolution (e.g. space weathering)
    16:20 - 16:30 Ryan Dewey, University of Michigan How do characteristics of Mercury's surface affect the frequency/strength of the magnetospheric field-aligned currents?
    16:30 - 16:40 Simon Lindsay, University of Leicester What can PIXE tell us about the surface (examples: does it illuminate PSCs? better characterised low E input?)
    16:40 - 16:50 Weijie Sun, University of Michigan The influences of solar extreme events on Mercury's surface and exosphere, i.e., the sputtering.
