We are pleased to invite you to the PDS Geosciences Node Virtual Open House, to be held online on Tuesday, April 21 at 2:00 PM Central.

This event is open to members of the Node advisory group and the broader planetary science community. We look forward to connecting with you and sharing updates on our work, beginning with an approximately 40-minute presentation covering:

• Node Overview and Mission: our role within the broader PDS ecosystem and NASA's planetary data infrastructure, including the scope of our holdings, supported missions, and scientific disciplines

• Tools and Services: our three flagship community tools: Analyst's Notebook (AN) for integrated access to mission data and documentation; the Orbital Data Explorer (ODE) for search and download of orbital science data; and the PDS Spectral Library supporting surface composition research

• Recent Achievements: new and updated data releases, progress on the migration of curated datasets from PDS3 to PDS4, improvements to tools and infrastructure, and highlights from community engagement activities

• PDS Cloud Migration: an overview of the PDS-wide initiative to migrate data and services to the cloud, current status, and what it means for data accessibility and the future of planetary data infrastructure

• Coming Year Priorities: continued PDS3-to-PDS4 migration work, upcoming data deliveries and new holdings, planned tool enhancements, and support for future missions

Following the presentation, we will open the floor for discussion. As always, we genuinely value community input and encourage you to share your thoughts, questions, and suggestions, whether during the open discussion period or by reaching out to us via email at geosci@wunder.wustl.edu. We hope you will join us!
