DI52B:
What Lies Beneath: Multidisciplinary Approaches to Probing the Structure and Evolution of Planetary Interiors II


Session ID#: 7649

Session Description:
While surface observations of planetary bodies in our solar system are plentiful, and new planets orbiting other stars are being detected with increasing regularity, planetary interiors remain difficult to access.  In this session, we focus on innovative techniques from a variety of disciplines to increase our understanding of the structure and evolution of planetary interiors, ranging from the terrestrial planets in our solar system (including Earth) to icy satellites, gas giants, and exoplanets. Topics in this session will bring together contributions from, but not limited to laboratory work, recent planetary missions along with their geophysical and geochemical observations, numerical modeling, and proposed future planetary data in a joint effort to illuminate the deep interiors of planets.
