The main aim of the Chianti Topics is to let experts in a research field meet, to allow students to discuss with the experts and to favour the exchange of information mainly through informal discussions in a pleasant and comfortable environment.
The conference aims to gather experts from various disciplines, including tectonics, geodynamics, geophysics, structural geology, remote sensing, and geological mapping, to discuss the geology of planetary bodies both within and beyond the Solar System. Utilizing extensive geophysical data collected over recent decades, the conference seeks to enhance understanding of rocky, icy, and ocean worlds. A key objective is to prepare the next generation of planetary geologists and geophysicists for this dynamic research field. Multidisciplinary contributions on planetary surface environments, geodynamics, and interactions between internal and external processes are encouraged. PhD students, post-docs, and young researchers are invited to present their work, with preferential selection for workshop publication given to young authors. Contributions from invited experts and discussions during sessions will foster synergies across different scientific fields. The welcoming location in Chianti, Tuscany, will further promote interaction through breaks, social events, and round tables.
TOPICS
- The physics and chemistry of the planetary surfaces and subsurfaces
- The physics and chemistry of the Solar System planets
- The physics and chemistry of the extrasolar planets
- Interactions between planetary surfaces and interiors with the atmospheres
- Modelling soils, geological activity, and interactions with the atmospheres
- Earth and Space experiments to study planetary environments
The mission of the Chianti Topics Workshops is to bring a limited number of attendees, most of them students, to deal with a specific scientific topic yearly. The speakers and attendees are invited to a three-day full immersion to discuss and share their knowledge and expertise among themselves and especially with young researchers and students. The sessions are composed of 30-minute talks followed by 10 minutes for questions and discussion. A round table on the selected topic closes the workshop to focus on the perspectives and future activities.
