What can meteorites tell us about Earth’s environment? How do minerals record a cosmic collision? And could Venus be hiding lava tubes? Our joint GMPV–PS Campfire brings together four talks exploring these questions and the early differentiation of Mars, plenty of planetary ground to cover!
From environmental and shock processes preserved in chondrites to the formation of planetary crusts and the features shaping their surfaces, we’ll explore how mineralogy, geochemistry and geology help us piece together planetary histories. Each talk will be followed by a Q&A, so bring your curiosity and those questions you’ve been saving for someone who studies another planet.
Conveners: GMPV and PS Campfire teams
When: Thursday, 8 October, at 16:00 CEST.
Speakers:
- Camila Caviedes, PhD Candidate, Instituto de Astronomía y Ciencias Planetarias, Universidad de Atacama, Chile
Balanced Ordinary Chondrites as Universal Standard Sensors for Terrestrial Environmental Processes - Myrto Simopoulou, PhD Candidate, Agricultural University of Athens, Greece
Evaluating Shock Metamorphism and High-Pressure Phase Transformations in L Chondrites - Barbara De Toffoli, Research Fellow, University of Padua, Italy
Morphometric Evidence for Lava Tubes on Venus - Valentin Bonnet Gibet, Research Fellow, Institute of Space Research, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, Germany
Martian Highlands Differentiation Concomitant to Dichotomy Formation
We look forward to seeing you there!
