"He has a doctorate in planetary geology," said Glinn.

Very little survives from that far in the past; on such a time scale, planetary geology or erosion will generally destroy any evidence of technology.

In a similar way, evidence about the history of the universe is drawn from astronomy, astrophysics, planetary geology, and physics.

"Terra" is a term used in planetary geology to refer to extensive landmasses.

Earth analogue studies are particularly common in planetary geology, geomorphology, and also in atmospheric science.

The term was adopted for planetary geology when high resolution pictures of Europa revealed unusual new surface features.

In planetary geology it is used to refer to any long marking, dark or bright, on a planet or moon's surface.

It is a descriptor term used in planetary geology for a relatively smooth, elevated terrain on another planet or moon.

Today many institutions are concerned with the study and communication of planetary sciences and planetary geology.

He remained at NASA to conduct research in planetary geology.

In astrogeology, these compounds, in their solid state, often comprise large proportions of the crusts of moons and dwarf planets.

The Flagstaff Science Center is home to USGS astrogeology research.

It employs an interdisciplinary approach which includes astrobiology, astrophysics, astronomy, planetary science (planetology), geochemistry, astrochemistry and astrogeology.

The USGS Astrogeology Science Center assists in current and future space missions. . .

Astrogeology Astrogeology, the science that applies the principles of geology to the study of solid bodies of the solar system other than the earth.

This led to the establishment of the field of planetary geology, sometimes known as astrogeology, in which geologic principles are applied to other bodies of the solar system.

Historic, recent, ongoing, and upcoming space missions involving the USGS Astrogeology Research Program include:

Reoh gave up trying to explain exogeology to the Rex.

Exogeology deals with planetary mountains, which in that branch of science are usually called montes (singular-mons).

She had specifically requested the assignment, since the planet was already becoming known in exogeology as a cutting-edge assignment.

We can study tectonic plate movements and all the aspects of exogeology in short periods of time . . . as well as paleomagnetism.

For my part, there had never been any doubt in my mind that I wanted a career in exogeology, and I saw the assignment as a not-to-be-missed opportunity for field experience as I learned.

Planetary geology, alternatively known as astrogeology or exogeology, is a planetary science discipline concerned with the geology of the celestial bodies such as the planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and meteorites.
