8th January - Volcanic Terrains across the Solar System

Mapping the Volcanic Terrains across the Solar System

8th January

Dr. Ellen Stofan

6.30 - 7.30 p.m.

Rosalind Franklin Room, At-Bristol

Many planets and moons of our solar system show evidence of volcanic eruptions. The early missions to the Moon, Mars, Venus and Mercury were truly missions of discovery, with great debates in the scientific community on the roles of impacts and volcanic eruptions in shaping their surfaces.
Discover how these alien volcanic features are mapped and interpreted with knowledge and techniques developed from studies of volcanoes on Earth. A perfect way to celebrate BBC Stargazing Live.  
This is a free lecture, suitable for over 12s, and is supported by the University of Bristol.
