Description

Planetary geology today extends far beyond the study of rocks, encompassing planetary origins, interiors, tectonics, atmospheres, oceans, and biology. It is not limited to the planets within our own solar system either. The past decade has witnessed groundbreaking missions to asteroids and comets, as well as the discovery of thousands of exoplanets orbiting distant stars. This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intricate geological processes shaping planets both within and beyond our solar system. It introduces fundamental concepts while framing the latest developments in planetary science. With over 1,000 references from more than 170 journals, this fully updated 3rd edition: Focuses on geological processes rather than a planet-by-planet approach, essential for understanding the common mechanisms linking planetary bodies across the universe. Explains complex concepts in an accessible manner, avoiding undue reliance on mathematical formulas and equations. Takes into account the increasing globalisation and commercialisation of space exploration and planetary science. A best-selling student text, Planetary Geology serves as an approachable yet in-depth introduction to a field that can seem overwhelming in its scope. Throughout, authors Dominic Fortes and Claudio Vita-Finzi foster curiosity and critical thinking, driven by the belief that a deeper understanding of planetary processes will ultimately help us better understand Earth’s place in the universe.
