Program Details
Mineralogy of planetary interiors
The Mineralogy of Planetary Interiors program is essential for interpreting data from various earth science disciplines, including geodynamics, seismology, geochemistry, petrology, and planetology. The program covers topics such as:
- Solid state physics
- Thermodynamics
- Network dynamics
- Mechanical properties (elasticity, plasticity)
- Transport properties of minerals and rocks The program aims to provide advanced knowledge of high-pressure and high-temperature science and techniques, as well as modern analytical methods (vibrational spectroscopy, X-ray probes) for studying the structure and chemical composition of minerals. The program focuses on the role of mineralogy in understanding planetary interiors and plate tectonics.
Internal structure of different bodies in the Solar System
The program also explores the internal structure of various bodies in the solar system.
