Planetary Geoscience
- Gebundenes Buch
This textbook shows how planets are shaped by geologic processes and proves the similarities and differences between planets. Aimed at geoscience majors, it covers aspects of mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, volcanology, sedimentology, geomorphology, tectonics, geophysics and remote sensing for a richer understanding of planetary evolution.

Harry Y. McSween is Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Planetary Geoscience at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He holds degrees from The Citadel (B.S.), the University of Georgia (M.S.), and Harvard University (Ph.D.). His research focuses on meteorites and has resulted in the publications of hundreds of scientific papers on the subject. He has also authored three popular books on planetary science, as well as textbooks in geochemistry and cosmochemistry. He has served as co-investigator for many NASA spacecraft missions, including Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Odyssey orbiter, and Dawn asteroid orbiter. McSween has been elected President of the Meteoritical Society and of the Geological Society of America and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the recipient of the Leonard Medal (Meteoritical Society), the J. Lawrence Smith Medal (US National Academy of Sciences), and the Whipple Award (American Geophysical Union), and is the namesake for asteroid 5223 McSween.
