We are delighted to invite you to join us at our upcoming conference, designed to bring together experts from a wide range of disciplines—including tectonics, geodynamics, geophysics, structural geology, remote sensing, and geological mapping—to explore the fascinating field of planetary geology. Our focus spans across planetary bodies within our Solar System and beyond, encompassing rocky, icy, and ocean worlds.
This conference is an exceptional opportunity to delve into the wealth of geophysical data amassed over recent decades, which serves as a vital tool for advancing our understanding of these diverse planetary environments. Our primary goal is to equip the next generation of planetary geologists and geophysicists with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in this exciting and challenging research arena.
We warmly welcome multidisciplinary contributions that address studies, observations, and experimental or modeling work on planetary surface environments—including terrestrial analogues—planetary geodynamics, and the interactions between internal and external processes. PhD students, post-docs, and young researchers are especially encouraged to submit and present their research findings, innovative ideas, and projects.
The Scientific Organizing Committee will prioritize selecting presentations by young researchers, which will be featured in the workshop proceedings. Contributions from invited experts, engaging discussions during scientific sessions, and the comparison of various investigative methodologies will foster the development and strengthening of collaborations among scientists and researchers from different fields.
Set in the picturesque and hospitable Tuscany hills not far from Florence, Italy, the conference will also provide ample opportunities for informal interactions during breaks, social events, and roundtable discussions. We look forward to your participation and to the stimulating exchanges that will undoubtedly enhance our collective knowledge and inspire future research in planetary geology.
