Sylabus

Readings are to be completed before the class time for each topic.1 Introduction to the Solar System: Terrestrial and giant planets · Properties of planets 2 Orbital mechanics: an overview for planetary geoscientists · Kepler’s laws and orbits · Orbital evolution (Mars climate changes, receding lunar orbit) · Comets, KBOs, asteroids; orbital resonances · Tidal forces (e.g., Shoemaker-Levy breakup, Io heating) 3 Formation of the Solar System · Brief overview of nucleosynthesis, composition/history of the Sun · Star and planet formation · Interactions of solids with gas · Growth of dust particles · Processes in the disk · Jovian movement and the disruption of orbits 4 Planetary Interiors · What happens after formation · Differentiation · Bulk composition · Magnetism (includes global and crustal magnetism) and core processes · Seismicity · Components : Earth, Moon, and Mars 5 Meteorites - related to nebula · Radiometric dating · CAIs, chondrules, pre-solar grains · Limited background mineralogy · Asteroids - processes (igneous, metamorphic, and aqueous) 6 Discussion/activity class (most likely a meteorite petrology lab session) 7 Comets and interplanetary dust particles (chemistry, mineralogy, isotopes) 8 Remote sensing techniques applied to surfaces of major and minor planets · Spectroscopy (electronic and vibrational, UV-VIS-NIR-TIR) o Includes effects of space weathering · Gamma-ray, X-ray and neutron spectrometers · Radar Includes examples of what we have learned about the terrestrial planets and the Moon, outer planet satellites, and asteroids 9 Impacts and geologic mapping Craters on the Moon, Mercury, Mars, and Earth: differences and similarities · Impact products: recognizing impact craters; high pressure minerals and shock metamorphism · Basics of impacts (physics, types, sizes, modification, environmental effects) · Sources of projectiles, orbits, impact velocities · Crater counting and dating surfaces · Stratigraphy/geologic mapping 10 Early history of the planets · Magma ocean (evidence from the Moon) · Primary differentiation · Role of giant impacts (Moon, Mercury, Mars) · Crater counts and LHB 11 Discussion/activity class 12 Volcanism on the terrestrial planets, the Moon, and Io · Eruption styles/morphology (and relation to composition) · Influence of environment (atmosphere, gravity, composition, volatiles, etc.) · Environmental effects of volcanism on Venus, Mars, and Earth · Magma production through time 13 Water and aqueous geochemistry · Geomorphologic evidence for water on Earth and Mars · Alteration of Martian meteorites · Aqueous alteration of carbonaceous chondrites and water-bearing asteroids 14 Tectonics of the terrestrial planets and icy satellites 15 Atmospheres and Aeolian processes on Mars, Venus, and Earth 16 Discussion/activity class 17 Rings and Satellites of Giant Planets · Nature and dynamics of rings · Geologic processes on icy satellites 18 Synthesis with discussion: Compositional variations in the solar system and planet formation · Inner solar system (metal-to-silicate ratio, FeO abundance, details from spectroscopy and samples) · Structure of the asteroid belt/asteroid spectra · Outer solar system · Models of planet formation
