Ices in the Solar-System [EPUB ebook] 
A Volatile-Driven Journey from the Inner Solar System to its Far Reaches

Ices in the Solar-System: A Volatile-Driven Journey from the Inner Solar System to its Far Reaches details the evolution of ice on planetary bodies within the Solar System, including terrestrial planets and the Moon, Ceres and other dwarf planets or volatile asteroids, icy Galilean and Saturnian satellites, Triton and disparate Uranian moons, and Pluto, other Kuyper belt objects and comets. The book provides a view of different ice types throughout the Solar System, i.e., H2O, CO2, CH4, etc., that characterize icy processes on disparate bodies. Ice and icy processes at micro through macro scales are discussed. The book geographically spans the major planetary bodies of the Solar System, covering surface and subsurface geologies, geophysics and geochemistry of ices to answer questions such as the nature and extent of water ice and different frozen volatile species, how do ices give us clues to interiors and oceans, and more. — Draws a pan solar-system view of various ice species Identifies and addresses outstanding and sometimes puzzling questions about these ices Describes the dynamic relationships between these ices and the geological history of the planets, moons, and smaller bodies where they occur Studies these relationships using multiple analytical-scales and techniques
