Abstract:
Volcanism is one of the most important geological processes shaping planetary surfaces. Drawing on data from missions to Earth, Venus, Mars, and the outer solar system, this seminar explores how volcanic activity varies under different planetary conditions. The discussion covers eruption styles, lava flow morphologies, and the interactions between volcanism and atmospheric or cryogenic processes. By comparing volcanism across planets and moons, this work reveals fundamental insights into thermal evolution and interior dynamics across the solar system.
