PDF-(READ)-Planetary Geology: An introduction

Recent planetary missions by NASA the European Space Agency and other national bodies have reaffirmed that geological processes familiar from our studies of the Earth operate on many solid planets and satellites Common threads link the internal structure thermal evolution and surface character of both rocky and icy worlds and volcanoes impact craters ice caps dunes rift valleys rivers and oceans emerge as features of extraterrestrial worlds as diverse as Mercury and Titan The new data also reveal that many supposedly inert planetary bodies currently experience eruptions landslides and dust storms Moreover our understanding of the Solar System has greatly benefited from the analysis of meteorites from Mars as well as rock samples collected on the MoonCombining extensive use of imagery the results of laboratory experiments and theoretical modelling this comprehensively updated second edition of Planetary Geology provides the student reader and the enthusiastic amateur with uptodate coverage of these recent advances and confirms that to quote from the first edition planetary geology now embraces conventional geology and vice versaNote for Teachers using this book with students The authors have prepared some ancillary materials for class use To gain access to these materials please use the contact form and tell us where and when you will be using the book and with how many students.

Geology is the study of Earth, including the materials that it is made of, the physical and chemical changes that take place on its surface and in its interior and the history of the planet and its life form. 1.

Working in groups of three, create, film and edit a three to five minute film about an aspect of geothermal geology in New Zealand. Assume your audience is a group of introductory geology students at Carleton. . Planetary Surface Processes is the first advanced textbook to cover the full range of geologic processes that shape the surfaces of planetary-scale bodies. Using a modern, quantitative approach, this book reconsiders geologic processes outside the traditional terrestrial context. It highlights processes that are contingent upon Earth\'s unique circumstances and processes that are universal. For example, it shows explicitly that equations predicting the velocity of a river are dependent on gravity: traditional geomorphology textbooks fail to take this into account. This textbook is a one-stop source of information on planetary surface processes, providing readers with the necessary background to interpret new data from NASA, ESA and other space missions. Based on a course taught by the author at the University of Arizona for 25 years, it is aimed at advanced students, and is also an invaluable resource for researchers, professional planetary scientists and space-mission engineers.
