Bay Area Planetary Science Conference


In-Person Conference May 23, 2022

Conference Goals

BAPS forum was created to bolster collaborations among planetary enthusiasts in the Bay Area. We welcome participants at all academic levels, students and professionals alike. BAPS does not focus on any specific sub-field within the planetary sciences, and welcomes contributions from all areas relevant to the advancement of knowledge in the planetary sciences.


On May 23, we will have a one full-day in person conference. You can find the conference schedule and directions to the venue on this web-site. We will not be able to cover travel or parking expenses. Finally, we kindly ask everyone to bring a mask and proof vaccination to attend the event.
