In this presentation, I will provide an overview of our recent efforts to determine the mobility of carbonate-rich melts in the upper mantle and their associated geodynamic signatures. First, I will illustrate progress in constraining the density ...

Chemical habitability and planetary volatiles - a story of loss Earth’s supply of life-essential volatile elements (including hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur) is obviously appropriate for the long-term maintenance of a habitable planet and...

The exploration of Venus is as old as interplanetary exploration itself and started when Mariner 2 encountered Venus in 1962. Six decades of exploration later, however, Venus remains an enigmatic planet. Its bulk properties – such as size and bulk...

'Planetary Seismology: Results from InSight on Mars and a trip to the farside of the Moon' by Mark P Panning (Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology) InSight has been recording seismic data on Mars nearly continuously since...

Dynamo magnetic fields are like the heartbeats of planets – invisible, yet detectable signals of activity within a body’s interior. Remnant magnetism preserved in the lunar crust and paleomagnetic studies of Apollo samples collectively indicate th...

In recent years, seismology has provided increasingly detailed images of the interior of the Earth, especially since the onset of the deployment of temporary seismic arrays: Seismic tomography has revealed that some slabs descend into the lower ma...
