P42B:
From the Earth to the Moons: Unraveling the Geologic, Oceanographic, and Chemical Mysteries of Ice and Ocean Worlds III


Submit an Abstract to this Session


Session ID#: 60170

Session Description:
This session seeks to bring together studies of icy and ocean worlds: those in our own solar system (including Earth!), possible analogues in extra-solar systems, and the associated geological, geochemical and oceanographic processes that might contribute to the evolution (habitability included) of such bodies. In particular, we focus on ice-water interactions. How might the observable surface be representative of processes taking place in the subsurface? How might they contribute to habitability? What types of interactions drive their evolution? How have/will such processes relate to past, ongoing, and upcoming missions? Seeking to bridge Earth and planetary studies from Mercury to Pluto and all satellites in between, we encourage contributions on: in-situ/remote sensing observations; theoretical and laboratory work; analog field work investigations.
