Geological processes such as volcanism, tectonics, and
impacts are fundamental to the formation and evolution of the
planets, moons, asteroids and comets of our Solar System. These
processes are the primary agents responsible for the shaping of
planetary surfaces, each of them in different ways and at
different rates. For example, asteroids and comets have played a
critical role during planetary evolution, by delivering the
primary constituents of planetary bodies and by promoting
resurfacing via impacts. Volcanic and tectonic processes are
efficient mechanisms to reshape planetary surfaces and provide
valuable information about planetary interiors and evolution.
The study of geological processes in the Solar System is at the
crossroad of many scientific disciplines using either in-situ
sampling and analysis, remotely sensed data, or experimental and
numerical modelling.
This session aims to compile all facets of volcanism,
tectonism, impact cratering, and their associated interactions
with other geological processes observed in our Solar System. By
providing a forum for a broad range of discussions, these
observations and interpretations will be investigated and
(re)viewed in the light of our current understanding of related
processes on Earth. Comparative studies on volcanic/tectonic
systems, impact structures, and other processes on Earth using
multi-instrumental, remotely sensed, experimental,
computational, or field data are particularly welcome.
