2nd Planetary Mapping and Virtual Observatory Workshop

1-3 July 2019, Domaine de St. Paul, Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, France



Why this workshop

Mapping of planetary surfaces is a key tool for both science and exploration. The Virtual Observatory (VO) approach and tools, specifically targeting Planetary Science (VESPA) can support geologic mapping of Solar System bodies (PLANMAP) and vice versa. The workshop aims at bringing together the geologic, geospatial and VO communities at a European scale for bringing forward knowledge, tools and standards for mapping the Solar System.

Venue

The workshop will take place at the "Domaine de St-Paul".

The "Domaine" is the site of the Priory founded in 1170 by the canons of the abbey of Saint Victor in Paris. It becomes national property at the Revolution. Honoré Ditte acquires the park in 1826 and opens his home to many artists: George Sand and Victor Hugo have been hosted there.

In 1957, the French Federation of the Building Industry acquires the "Domaine". For half a century, this state-of-the-art laboratory has been devoted to research and training of civil and public work engineers.
