Experimentation in planetary geology
Reviews of Geophysics, 1987The reasons for conducting experimentation are as varied as the topics that are studied. Whether a specific parameter must be quantified or an attempt is being made to duplicate a peculiar process, all experiments are unified by a common, ultimate objective: to provide a tangible link between theory and observation, although a suitable theory is often ...

Planetary and Space Science, 2021
Abstract I engage the philosophy of geology, and the philosophy of planetary geomorphology in particular, offering a perspective from the standpoint of a Mars geographer who is acquainted with both experimental and social research. I discuss the nature of geological reasoning and probe its somewhat paradoxical commitment to both a physical realism ...

Lunar and planetary geology can be described using examples such as the geology of Earth (as the reference case) and geologies of the Earth’s satellite the Moon; the planets Mercury, Mars and Venus; the satellite of Saturn Enceladus; the small stony asteroid Eros; and the nucleus of the comet 67P Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Feature Databases in Planetary Geology
2019The study of planetary surfaces is as diverse as the surfaces themselves, yet almost all can be assisted by the existence of feature databases. Databases provide a single, standardized source that can serve as an important reference for different studies that involve the same kinds of landforms.

Remote Sensing: Geology and Planetary applications
2017This is an overview of remote sensing as it applies to geological applications. It is intended for those with some basic background in remote sensing image processing and analysis, and preferably introductory mineralogy or petrology. Topics covered at : miner and rock spectra and why they are as they are; spatial data of use to geology; planetary ...

The geology of planetary atmospheres
Some years ago, I began giving lectures with both "Geology" and "Atmospheres" in the title. In part, this was to emphasize that atmospheres are dynamic entities, evolving in response to volatile cycling between the outer envelope of a planet and planetary interiors.openaire +1 more source
The “Holey Tour” planetary geology field trip, Arizona
2011ABSTRACT Arizona has a wide variety of geological features relevant to planetary geology. The “Holey Tour” is a 2 d field trip (Phoenix-Flagstaff-Phoenix) that introduces participants to crater forms (hence the “holes” of the tour), including a maar, karst sinkhole, pit crater, cinder-cone craters, a volcano-tectonic depression, and the ...
