P23A:
Planetary Atmospheres and Their Evolution II Posters


Session ID#: 8694

Session Description:
To understand the nature, the spatial and temporal variabilities, the governing physical processes, and the evolution of planetary atmospheres in and outside our solar system are important contents of planetary sciences and strong driving force of planet exploration/observations. While the long-term evolution of the Earth is constrained by geological and geochemical data, the evolution of other planetary bodies must be reconstructed from planetary mission data and astronomical observations. The discoveries of exoplanets greatly expand the interests of the scientific community on planetary atmospheres and provide a new opportunity for interdisciplinary collaborations between geoscientists, astronomers, and planetary scientists. The session welcomes both observational and theoretical studies relevant to current physical states of planetary atmospheres (including the Earth) and their evolution.
