Session Proposal: Ices and Volatiles on Solid Bodies: Implications for Planetary Evolution and In Situ Resources (AGU25)

P020
Ices and Volatiles on Solid Bodies: Implications for Planetary Evolution and In Situ Resources

Session ID#: 248626

Session Description:
Ices and volatiles on and within solid-surface planetary bodies represent a record of the processes that emplace and redistribute them over geologic time. These materials also represent a potential resource that may be used on human and robotic missions to sustain surface activities and return human explorers and samples back to Earth. This session focuses on the physical processes related to ice and volatiles that affect the surfaces of solid bodies in our Solar System. We welcome abstracts that describe relevant research involving spacecraft remote-sensing observations, theoretical modeling, laboratory experiments, planetary analog field work, and the potential for in situ resource utilization on human and robotic missions.
