The notifications to presenting authors confirming their specific date and time of presentation will be communicated the 20 August 2016.
Second Draft Preliminary programme is being updated per theme as the SPC signs them off.
The detailed draft day by day programme for each theme is being announced as it is being collated. These are still preliminary and will be finalised by the 20 August.

Planetary Sciences and Meteorite Impacts
With the recent increase in the exploration of the planets and solar system bodies, Planetary Geoscience is one of the fastest-growing branches of the geosciences. Different topics of research are covered, among others: study of extraterrestrial matter (e.g. meteorites and their impact processes), research and exploration of other planets and moons (e.g. Mars, Europa, Titan), the characterization of terrestrial analogues (e.g. extreme environments, Río Tinto, Antarctica) and also some specific palaeoenvironmental and habitability studies linking geo- and biomarkers for the search for life beyond Earth. The exploration forand discovery of exoplanets is another fast-developing branch of Planetary Geoscience. Ground-breaking research in the evolution of planets, solar-system bodies and exoplanets is delivering very interesting results. Symposia and papers covering all aspects of the recent advances in this field of the geosciences are invited.
Please note that this is preliminary and final allocations in the programme will be announced in the 5th Announcement and updated on the Website in July.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL PRESENTING AUTHORS (FOR ORALS) OR AT LEAST ONE AUTHOR (FOR POSTERS) MUST BE REGISTERED FOR THE MEETING BY 31 MAY 2016 IN ORDER TO HAVE THE ABSTRACT INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAMME.
