TITLE: Advances in Planetary Gravity Mapping
ABSTRACT: Remote observation of the gravity fields of solid planetary bodies provides a plethora of information relevant to structure and evolution. This talk will review results from gravity mapping investigations from three planets – Mercury, Mars and the Moon. The results for Mercury will emphasize core composition and state and their relevance to the planet’s evolution. Results for Mars will focus on atmospheric structure and the detection and quantitative characterization of the annual cycle of CO2 exchange between the cryosphere and atmosphere. Results for the Moon will focus on understanding the history of impact bombardment and volcanism. Implications for other solid planetary bodies will be addressed as will opportunities for future advances.

TITLE: Using unscaled and partially scaled experiments in geophysics
ABSTRACT: There are numerous instances in surface processes, and elsewhere in geophysics. where strict scaling of experiments is impossible. Yet in many such cases, experiments can still provide insight. We will explore examples of unscaled and partially scaled experiments, and how behavior for limiting cases of governing nondimensional numbers (e.g. Re, Fr) can help us understand when such experiments are and are not useful.
