3 Celebrating Its 1 st Anniversary! Editor-in-Chief: Joel D. Blum eic@earthspacechem.acs.org Journal Scope The scope of ACS Earth and Space Chemistry includes the application of analytical, experimental and theoretical chemistry to investigate research questions relevant to the Earth and Space. The journal publishes broadly in the domains of high- and low-temperature geochemistry, atmospheric chemistry, marine chemistry, planetary chemistry, astrochemistry, and analytical geochemistry. ACS Earth and Space Chemistry publishes Articles, Letters, Reviews, and Features to provide flexible formats to readily communicate all aspects of research in these fields. Among the areas the journal covers are: Space Chemistry of planetary atmospheres and surfaces Investigations of meteorites and tektites Properties of cometary and interstellar materials Spectroscopy and chemistry of stars, interstellar clouds, and planetary formation Structure and Spectroscopic Properties of [Mg,C,N,O] Isomers: Plausible Astronomical Molecules em.7b00019 Editor s Choice Open Access! 5 Join one of the most interdisciplinary fields of modern science! Water in the Universe 258th National Meeting, San Diego, CA, August 2019 Water at cosmic distances Water in the interstellar medium (from diffuse to dense molecular clouds) Water and associated volatiles in protoplanetary disks (snow lines, planetesimal and planet formation) Water and associated volatiles in the solar system and debris disks (comets, icy satellites, meteorites) Water in exoplanetary systems Water and associated volatile delivery to young, rocky planets Spread throughout all sessions Ab initio theory, chemical modeling, and laboratory astrophysics studies of the water and water-rich ices Astrochem Student Opportunities For students interested in contacting astrochemistry practitioners, this is a (ever-changing) listing of academic faculty and NASA researchers who work in the field

4 This ACS Webinar was quick, concise, to the point and as a result very helpful to me. I need to be reminded how best to use PowerPoint since it tends to take over my presentations in many ways. Michael Webb Associate Specialist, UC-Davis Genome Center Be a featured fan on an upcoming webinar! Write to acswebinars@acs.org 7 Learn from the best and brightest minds in chemistry! Hundreds of webinars on diverse topics presented by experts in the chemical sciences and enterprise. Recordings are an exclusive ACS member benefit and are made available to registrants via an invitation once the recording has been edited and posted. Live Broadcasts of ACS Webinars continue to be available to the general public every Thursday from 2-3pm ET! 8 4

5 An individual development planning tool for you! ChemIDP.org 9 What is ACS on Campus? ACS visits campuses across the world offering FREE seminars on how to be published, find a job, network and use essential tools like SciFinder. ACS on Campus presents seminars and workshops focused on how to:
