Planetary Geology and Geochemistry

This topic includes a wide range of work being carried out primarily the Earth Science department, with collaborators across the Network, aimed at understanding the properties of planetary materials, the  factors governing the composition of the Earth and other rocky planets, the exchange of volatiles between planetary interiors and atmospheres, the deep-time history of atmospheres, and magmatic processes that carry heat and volatiles from the interior of a planet to its surface.  Only a few of the many group leaders involved in this effort are listed here.
