| Abstract |
The objective of the school is to promote education and research in planetary sciences for highly motivated graduate students and young researchers by providing them with an opportunity to interact with leading scientists in a specific field. Note that the term "Planetary Sciences" is used in a broader sense to include astronomy, astrophysics, astrochemistry, astrobiology, astromineralogy, geosciences, space science, cosmology, and other related fields.
Topic of the coming school
Across the Earth into Exoplanets
Recent wonderful discovery of exoplanets requires us to rethink the earth and generalize our understandings of the planet. For the sake of doing so, we should first absorb up-to-date knowledge about the structure of the earth from the deep interior to the surface and dynamics producing various geological and geophysical phenomena. We could then apply the knowledge to various conditions of planets such as the early earth, the other planets in the solar system, and exoplanets. This application enables us to better understand the coevolution of a solid planet's interior and its surface in terms of a search for a habitable exoplanet. |
