PS – Planetary & Solar System Sciences

Programme Group Chair: Anezina Solomonidou

PS1 –  Terrestrial planets

Sub-Programme Group Scientific Officers: Franck Montmessin, Joana S. Oliveira

Proposals are marked in red.

Session short summary:
Venus is an inhospitable world, highlighting the diversity of terrestrial planet evolutionary pathways. Despite years of exploration, fundamental questions about Venus remain unanswered as we enter a new exploration era. We invite contributions on a wide range of topics and methods addressing the past, present, and future of Venus science and exploration, and what Venus can teach us about Earth.

Proposals are marked in red.

Session short summary:
This session focuses on advancing our understanding of planetary interiors and surfaces through gravimetry, magnetometry, altimetry, spectrometry and imaging, complemented by geophysical modeling, geological interpretation, analogue and laboratory studies. We invite contributions addressing questions on a wide range of planetary bodies, from terrestrial and giant planets to moons and small bodies.
Keywords: Analogue modelling (Experimental modelling / Laboratory modelling), Modelling techniques, Planetary interior, Planetary remote sensing, Planetary surfaces
Co-organization suggestions:
EMRP2 | Geomagnetism and Electromagnetism
G7 | Co-organized Sessions and Short Courses
GI3 | Planetary Atmosphere and Ocean instrumentation system
