Geophysical habitability of Earth-like planets
ETH Zürich Astronomy, 09.06.2016, 14:00, HIT J 43.1, Prof. Stephen J. Mojzsis, University of Colorado at Boulder, USA (http://isotope.colorado.edu/~mojzsis/) What makes an Earth-like planet geophysically habitable? The chemical makeup of a planet is as important to its habitable potential as its proximity to the “habitable zone”. Planetary elemental abundances govern mantle processes, and thus the nature of crust, atmosphere and hydrosphere. For example, without plate tectonics dictated by internal heat and mineral composition (translated into rheology), and liquid water, a sustained…

Visit/Session Prof. D. Stevenson
We are pleased to welcome Prof. David Stevenson from Caltech (https://www.gps.caltech.edu/content/david-j-dave-stevenson) for a Planet-Z meeting at UniZH on 20th September. Stevenson is a renowned planetary scientist who investigates planet formation and planetary interiors. In particular, he works on applying fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics to understand the internal structure and evolution of planets and moons. Stevenson will give a talk in the morning of 20th September entitled: “Jupiter’s Core (and why you should care)”. Everyone involved in PlanetS is invited…
