Planetary Tectonism across the Solar System: Volume 2

★★★★★
★★★★★

English

Planetary Tectonism across the Solar System, Volume Two in the Comparative Planetology series, addresses key questions surrounding planetary tectonism, such our understanding of the global contraction of Mercury, the formation of giant rift zones on Saturns icy moons, or the tesserated terrain on Venus. The book makes connections to Earth, such as how deformation on Mercury is both similar and different, and how to apply theoretical considerations behind plate tectonics on Earth to other planets. The book offers up-to-date, accessible and comprehensive discussions on the major tectonic processes and landforms that shape and drive the evolution of planets, moons and smaller bodies. By placing a singular emphasis on comparing tectonic processes and landforms on all relevant Solar System bodies, with the explicit objective of providing a systems-level understanding of this widespread phenomenon, this book is ideal for anyone studying planetary tectonism.

About

Christian Klimczak is Assistant Professor of structural geology in the Department of Geology at the University of Georgia. He is an expert in rock and fracture mechanics applied to deformation properties of rock and lithospheres as well as fault mechanics on Earth and other terrestrial planetary bodies with approaches taken from field work remote sensing and modelling. Geoffrey Collins is a Professor at Wheaton College and a planetary scientist using the tools of geology geophysics and remote sensing to learn about the other planets in our solar system. He is primarily interested in geological processes on the icy satellites of the outer solar system and he has been involved with various NASA projects such as the Galileo mission to Jupiter and the Cassini mission to Saturn. He has also spent time researching geological processes on Europa Enceladus Dione Titan Venus Triton and Pluto among others. He teaches a diverse set of courses including Geology The Solar System Remote Sensing Astrobiology and Geophysics. Paul Byrne is a planetary geologist with expertise in the study of tectonic and volcanic systems on silicate planets and icy moons and Assistant Professor of structural and planetary geology in the Department of Marine Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at North Carolina State University. He has published on physical volcanology tectonism and volcanotectonic deformation on Mercury Mars Earth the Moon and the icy moons of Saturn.
