Planetary surfaces sit at the interface between the planet's atmosphere and interior and are also often exposed to exogenic processes like impacts and space-weathering. This makes them very complex to understand, but also rich historical archives that record changing conditions on that planet over the course of solar system history.
In this class, we will explore how a variety of geologic processes, such as impact cratering, volcanism, tectonics, fluvial and atmospheric, shape planetary landscapes.
