Tectonophysics of Mars’ sedimentary record using rover, orbital, and terrestrial
analog data.
Advocates: Paul K. Byrne; Christian Klimczak
This session solicits abstracts on volcanic and tectonic land-
forms and processes on solar system bodies and extrasolar worlds,
encompassing surface geology, interior and thermal evolution,
and comparative planetary studies with observational, experimen-
tal, or theoretical approaches.
