280125 VO Cosmochemisty and Planetary Geology (W0_28_34) (NPI) (2014S)

2.50 ECTS (2.00 SWS), SPL 28 - Erdwissenschaften, Meteorologie - Geophysik und

Attention: The two classes 280125 (VO) and 280126 (UE+SE+PR) are not separate classes but belong together and are being taught on Tuesdays (13:15-15:00) and Fridays (11:15-13:00). The practical part is done separately in the later part of the semester, after the end of the lectures, either in the form of a seminar paper or by participating in a field exursion (to the Ries crater in Germany).

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The class gives an overview and introduction of planetary geology/planetary science and cosmochemistry. A description of all the planets and other objects in the solar system is supplemented by a discussion of the formation of the solar system and the processes (e.g., impacts) that govern it. In the cosmochemistry part of the class we discuss the origin of the chemical elements in the universe, and their distribution in meteorites.

Assessment and permitted materials

Exam after the end of the class (written or oral)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

(for both parts of Module W0_34 (PI and NPI)) An overview of the origin of the chemical elements in the universe is given - from the Big Bang to the fusion in stars to supernovae, leading to the distribution of the elements in the solar system, meteorites, and the planets, including Earth. This leads to an understanding of chemical and material cycles in the universe. An understanding of the interaction between extraterrestrial forces and the Earth results from such studies. In addition, we will work out the structure, origin, and composition of the solar system and the individual planets and other members of the solar system, resulting in an overview of planetary geology.
