The Planetary Geology Department studies the solid surfaces of planets, moons, and small bodies in the solar system. Geological mapping as well as morphological and spectral analyses provide a record ...

The key activities of the department Planetary Gophysics (PLP) are the theoretical modeling of structure and evolution of planetary bodies, interpretation and inversion of geophysical and geochemical ...

Planetary Geology involves the origin and age of the solid bodies in the solar system (planets, satellites, asteroids, comets, and rings) and the geological evolution of their surfaces and interiors.

This program studies extreme weather, climate change, and their impacts on both ecosystems and modern society. This research area uses biology, chemistry, geology, and physics to understand how the ...

I typically build research efforts with teams of researchers that work together to apply a wide range of complementary techniques in structural and field geology, active tectonics, geomorphology, ...

The Opportunity Rover spotted ‘Martian Blueberries’ near the equator in 2004, which were identified as small and marble-like ...

Lake Salda, in southwestern Turkey, bears a close resemblance to Mars' Jezero crater, which is currently being sampled by ...

Venus may be far more geologically alive than anyone expected. New research suggests its outer crust could be churning with ...

Without a magnetic field, the Moon’s surface is exposed to solar wind. These could have been depositing resources like water and potential rocket fuel on the Moon’s surface for billions of years.

Now a geologist at the National Air and Space Museum’s Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, Grant works with rovers that explore the Red Planet’s surface. When invited to share one optimism ...
