Planetary Geology and Atmospheres


The group of Planetary Geology and Atmospheres is devoted to the study of planetary objects in the Universe that have solid surfaces, including Earth. Specifically, we investigate the origin, composition, structure and processes and agents by which planets, satellites, comets, asteroids and meteorites evolve since its formation. These issues are key in determining the habitability of planetary environments.
