Download or read book Planetary Geology written by Angelo Pio Rossi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an up-to-date interdisciplinary geoscience-focused overview of solid solar system bodies and their evolution, based on the comparative description of processes acting on them. Planetary research today is a strongly multidisciplinary endeavor with efforts coming from engineering and natural sciences. Key focal areas of study are the solid surfaces found in our Solar System. Some have a direct interaction with the interplanetary medium and others have dynamic atmospheres. In any of those cases, the geological records of those surfaces (and sub-surfaces) are key to understanding the Solar System as a whole: its evolution and the planetary perspective of our own planet. This book has a modular structure and is divided into 4 sections comprising 15 chapters in total. Each section builds upon the previous one but is also self-standing. The sections are: Methods and tools Processes and Sources Integration and Geological Syntheses Frontiers The latter covers the far-reaching broad topics of exobiology, early life, extreme environments and planetary resources, all areas where major advancements are expected in the forthcoming decades and both key to human exploration of the Solar System. The target readership includes advanced undergraduate students in geoscience-related topics with no specific planetary science knowledge; undergraduates in other natural science domains (e.g. physics, astronomy, biology or chemistry); graduates in engineering and space systems design who want to complement their knowledge in planetary science. The authors’ backgrounds span a broad range of topics and disciplines: rooted in Earth geoscience, their expertise covers remote sensing and cartography, field mapping, impact cratering, volcanology and tectonics, sedimentology and stratigraphy exobiology and life in extreme environments, planetary resources and mining. Several generations of planetary scientists are cooperating to provide a modern view on a discipline developed from Earth during and through Space exploration.
Download or read book Comparative Planetology Inferred from the Geodesy of the Terrestrial Planets and the Moon Applied to an Entry Level Geology Course Using Systems Thinking written by Julie Marie Menard and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geodesy is the study of the shape of the Earth, where gravity and topography, both measured by orbiters, are used to map Earth, the terrestrial planets, and the Moon. Earth is studied on a global scale, as well as on a regional scale, by zooming in on regions of specific tectonic settings and activity as a means to compare geologic settings among one another, as well as structures of different age and characteristics within a given setting. The terrestrial planets and the Moon are studied on a global scale by cutting the data at various spherical harmonic degrees in order to assess their history, along with their (dis)similarities relative to one another. Each method leads to a catalog of patterns which are specific to a tectonic setting on Earth, and can be used to identify features on another planetary body. These analyses are conducted with the data that are currently available and can be greatly improved as more data becomes available. Geodesy links all aspects of Earth's history and evolution together. As a result an understanding of geodesy is hypothesized to have a positive impact on a student's learning of basic geology. The Systems Thinking teaching technique using stocks and flows is predicted to have a higher impact on students' understanding of basic geology compared to that gained by lecturing. Both hypotheses are tested in three Geology 210: "Earth History and Evolution" labs throughout the course of one semester at Washington State University. Quizzes are administered in lab to assess improvement, and performance is compared among the three labs. Both hypotheses are found to be valid: an understanding of geodesy helps students better understand the material covered in lab and lecture, and Systems Thinking activities on geodesy allow for a better understanding and rate of progress than lectures on geodesy. This study should be conducted in larger groups, and provided that results are reproduced, the Systems Thinking activities should be introduced as part of the regular weekly labs for entry-level geology courses.
