UCLA researchers explore the behavior and characteristics of planetary interiors, surfaces, and atmospheres across Earth, moons, and other celestial bodies. Their work examines convection patterns in planetary mantles and cores, connections between mineral structures at microscopic levels and large-scale planetary phenomena, various models of plate tectonics, and atmospheric, surface, and internal processes discovered through space missions and telescopic observations.
