Thanks for one more year of supporting Sedimentologika Journal and the Diamond Open Access movement. Here’s to another year of open science, shared knowledge, and collaboration🥂. Happy New Year! 🎊
Total number of planetary science meetings per year: all (top), non-US (middle), and US (bottom). From https://blog.planetary-research.org/2026/01/07/a-sudden-decline-in-us-planetary-meetings-in-2025/
And here is a plot of the total number of planetary science meetings being held per year that shows a huge drop in US meetings:

Planetary friends!
Don't want to go to Houston in March, or support an institute that's bending the knee?
Then join us for the very first Planetary Science Community Workshop in Louisville, KY on April 14–16, 2026.
It's our community. Fight for it!
