Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel
Outcomes of projects assigned to teams of two students working together to explain aspects of late accretion. My expectation is that there will be approximately 4 such team projects that will be presented to the class by each team. Presentations will be judged by peers in a flipped classroom setting.
Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
Background in geology (planetary or conventional), preferably with knowledge of geochemistry and geochronology. Those in astrophysics would benefit from having some knowledge of solid state physics and physical chemistry.
For criteria see above.
For criteria see above.
Prüfungsstoff
My approach is to provide an open and welcoming forum for the class in Planetary Science Symposium-type format wherein each student presents their chosen topic in late accretion in an AGU/LPSC-type talk. No final papers, and no take home exams. Presentations will be judged by peers.
Literatur
Recommended texts are: de Pater, I. and Lissauer, J.J. (2001) Planetary Sciences, and Melosh, H.J. (2011) Planetary Surface Processes.These books are available in hardcover from Cambridge University Press. Check on the internet for used (cheap) hard copies or electronic versions (or ask me). Other useful texts for those interested in delving more into the topics are: Davies, G.F. (1999) Dyanmic Earth and Turcotte, D.L. and Schubert, G. (2002) Geodynamics 2nd edition. There will be a few more recommendations forthcoming as we go along. Original papers and book chapters will be provided to you in electronic format ahead of time to discuss in our class meetings.

The timescale for late accretion to the terrestrial planets is poorly known but an active area of study, especially here in Vienna. We will explore the history of thought on the bombardment of the early solar system, and investigate different ideas about the thermal events in the first billion or so years as recorded in planetary materials. Part of the course will ask you to consider whether any of the solid planetary bodies of our solar system could have experienced wholesale melting by bombardment.
