What can meteorites tell us about Earth’s environment? How do minerals record a cosmic collision? And could Venus be hiding lava tubes? Our joint GMPV–PS Campfire brings together four talks exploring these questions and the early differentiation of Mars, plenty of planetary ground to cover! From environmental and shock processes preserved in chondrites to the formation of planetary crusts and the features shaping their surfaces, we’ll explore how mineralogy, geochemistry and geology help us piece together planetary histories. Each talk …

When we talk about greenhouse gases and climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) usually receive most of the attention. Yet another gas, nitrous oxide (N2O), quietly plays an important role in our changing climate. Commonly known as “laughing gas”, N2O is a powerful greenhouse gas with nearly 273 times the warming potential of CO2 over a 100-year period. Once released, it can remain in the atmosphere for more than a century. During this time, it contributes not only …
