Conference announcement: 'Water in the Universe - from clouds to oceans'

ESA/ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands, 12-15 April 2016

Important date: Abstract submission deadline 11 December 2015

The conference will cover all astrophysical aspects of water, including the water trail, from the formation of water in molecular clouds to water on planetary bodies, including in our own Solar System; water as a probe of physics and chemistry; and water in nearby to water in extra-galactic and high redshift sources.

Topics are meant to be wide in scope, and include the following broad science areas:

  • Formation and destruction of water and its chemistry: theory, laboratory work, and models
  • Water excitation and its relation to other ISM tracers
  • Water in star formation
  • Water in disks and planet formation
  • Water in the Solar System and exo-solar systems
  • Extra-galactic and high-redshift water

The objective of the meeting is to bring together astronomers interested in all astrophysical aspects of water, and aims to facilitate cross-fertilization between researchers with different observational, experimental, and theoretical backgrounds.

All information is available on the conference website.
