Planetary geology from the synthesis of compositional and geophysical observations
Session ID#: 248420
Session Description:
Nuclear spectroscopy – primarily gamma and neutron – has enabled detailed insight into the geology of planetary landscapes. While focused on bulk silicate planetary bodies (Earth & its moon, Mars & its moons, Mercury, Vesta, and Ceres) the upcoming deployment on Titan will advance the vanguard to bulk-volatile bodies. When integrated with mineralogy from visible-infrared spectroscopy, alongside geochemistry (including from XRF and LIBS), compositional characterizations span spatial scales from grains in rocks/soils to crustal zones to the mantle. Meanwhile, geophysical observations with gravimetry, magnetometry, seismometry, and electromagnetic sounding (e.g., radar) have prompted transformative controversies on subsurface water-sediment-rock interfaces, and paleo-counterparts. However, limited synthesis of compositional insight with geophysical characterizations precipitates a knowledge gap, which if addressed, could clarify how composition and geophysics collectively constrain the geologic evolution of planets. As such, we encourage submissions that interpret geologic features and processes by combining compositional and geophysical data, or related instrument developments.
