Comparative Mineral Physics of Volatiles in the Earth, Planetary bodies, and Exoplanets

Session ID#: 83367

Session Description:
Continuing discovery of planetary bodies with volatile contents exceeding the Earth in the solar-system and extra solar systems calls for the expansion of themes and the technical developments in experiment and theory in mineral physics. The diverse compositions and sizes of those bodies motivates developing models capable of predicting mineralogy and chemical processes for a wide range of pressure, temperature and compositions. This session aims to present recent advances in mineral physics to address the interiors of volatile rich solar-system planets and planetary bodies, and exoplanets via both experimental and theoretical approaches. Such comparative mineral physics study will help us to characterize and model a range of planets and planetary bodies, such as the icy moons (Io, Europa, and Titan), mini-Neptunes, and the icy giants. It will also enable us to better understand the chemical and physical processes in the potentially water-rich regions of the deep Earth’s interior.
