Planetary Geology

by: Simon Hanmer

Ice Moons of the Solar System	Cold as Ice: Ice Moons of Jupiter Cracked Ice: linear features of the Jovian ice moons Worlds in Collision: Impact Structures on the Outer Moons Playing with Fire: Volcanic Activity on the Outer Moons
Meteorites and the early Solar System:	What can we learn from chondrites? Where do achondrites come from, and why most of them missing?
Mercury:	Planetary geology of an enigmatic neighbour Messenger: First Pass and Images
Venus:	“If Venus is Earth’s sister planet, why don’t they look alike geologically?”
Moon:	Highlands, Lowlands & Lavas. Beyond craters and basins. The Two Faces of the Moon.
Mars:	What do we really see in a telescope? How much do we understand? Water, Environment and Life. William K. Hartman's "A Traveler's Guide to Mars": a geological commentary
	Simon Hanmer is geologist by profession and works for Natural Resources Canada. Simon is interested in the geology of the Earth and also the geology of the other planetary bodies found in the solar system. Simon started a series of talks at the Ottawa RASC Center's monthly meetings on his love affair with the geology found on the celiestial bodies of the sun's planetary system. I asked Simon if he would like to share his passion via the Internet and he was pleased by the idea. I am sure the ottawa-rasc.ca visitors will be as entertained by Simon's views as the people attending our monthly meetings are.
