Planetary Science
The Planetary Science Group conducts research and development in Planetary Exploration. The focus are planetary environments (planets and their atmosphere, weather, climate, surface, and sub-surface). The group is involved in the study of science data from space missions to planets. That is supported by mathematical models of planetary environments. The group is interested in all the bodies of the solar system (the Sun, planets, moons, asteroids, etc.) and analogue environments on the Earth. The group builds expertise in planetary science in the UAE academic community, by involving University students, at the graduate and undergraduate level.
The Planetary Science group studies planets and other bodies in the Solar System, using a variety of spacecraft observations and mathematical models. Their focus includes planetary atmospheres and surfaces. Their goals are the following
- Explore, study, and better understand the Solar System
- Build planetary science expertise in the UAE
- Engage students into research
- Participate in interplanetary missions
- Raise the UAE’s visibility in planetary science
Main themes of the group’s research
Mars, Earth, and more.
The lower atmosphere, upper atmosphere, surface, and sub-surface: dust and water in the atmosphere and at the surface, winds and the general circulation of the atmosphere, any atmospheric processes and surface processes, and more.
