Course Details
• Galactic Geology Fundamentals: An introduction to the field of galactic geology, including its history, primary goals, and key subdisciplines. This unit will cover the unique challenges and opportunities presented by studying the geology of galaxies beyond our own. • The Solar System and Its Formation: A detailed exploration of our own solar system, its formation, and the geological processes that have shaped it. This unit will provide a foundation for understanding the geology of other star systems. • Exoplanetary Geology: An examination of the geology of exoplanets, including the methods used to detect and study these distant worlds. This unit will cover the diversity of exoplanetary geologies, from rocky terrestrial planets to gas giants. • Galactic Tectonics and Volcanism: An in-depth analysis of the tectonic and volcanic processes that shape galaxies, with a focus on the similarities and differences between these processes in our own Milky Way and other galaxies. • Meteorites and Cosmic Impact Craters: A survey of the role meteorites and cosmic impact craters play in the geology of galaxies, including the formation of these features and their impact on planetary environments. • Astrobiology and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life: An exploration of the intersection between galactic geology and astrobiology, including the search for extraterrestrial life and the implications of such discoveries for our understanding of the universe. • Galactic Hydrology: A study of the water cycles in galaxies, including the presence and distribution of water in various forms, such as ice, liquid, and vapor. This unit will also cover the role of water in shaping planetary environments. • Galactic Climate and Atmospheres: An examination of the climates and atmospheres of galaxies, including the factors that influence these systems and the implications for planetary habitability. • Advanced Techniques in Galactic Geology: A review of the latest technologies and techniques
