2003 Insight Course Introduction to Planetary Science

 

Course Description

This course is for scientists who wish to receive a broad introduction to planetary science and exposure to field concepts. The content covers the entire breadth of planetary science, touching on the Earth and on extrasolar planets but focusing predominantly on our own solar system processes. The course is a mix of classroom lecture/discussion and hands-on field observation that includes in-the-field description and discussion by an expert. Approximately half of the course will consist of lectures and classroom discussion; the rest of the time will be spent in the field.

Field sites will include Meteor Crater, Sunset Crater Volcano and nearby volcanic sites, and the Grand Canyon.
