Planetary Magnetism
Session ID#: 248977
Session Description:
Magnetic fields provide insight into the evolution of planetary bodies and planetary systems from the earliest years after formation to the present day. Methods of understanding these magnetic histories come from investigations into the magnetosphere, crustal magnetism, core dynamics, protoplanetary disk magnetism, and other planetary-body internal magnetic sources. These investigations are typically conducted by using spacecraft or lander measurements, laboratory studies of meteorites and returned samples, and modeling efforts. In this session, we welcome contributions that cover observational, experimental, and theoretical investigations (including method development) of magnetism in solar system bodies of all scales and originating from remanence, induction, dynamo activity, and plasma interactions with surface and/or interior processes.
