Role of sample return in addressing major questions in planetary sciences

Mahesh Anand, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2020

In the past 50 years, our understanding of the origin and evolution of the Solar System has grown exponentially, in large part due to the availability of meteorites and the success of sample return missions. This book contains fourteen papers, e[...]

Mars magnetism and its interaction with the solar wind

Daniel Winterhalter, Editor ; Mario Acuna, Editor ; Alexander Zakharov, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2004

Solar System History from Isotopic signatures of Volatile Elements : Proceedings of an ISSI Workshop,14-18 January 2002, Bern Switzerland

Reinald Kallenbach, Editor ; Therese Encrenaz, Editor ; Johannes Geiss, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2003

This 16 volume focuses on isotopic signatures of volatile elements as tracers for evolutionary processes during the formation of the Sun and the Planets from an interstellar molecular cloud and, in turn, illuminates how the isotopic compositions[...]

Matter in the universe : proceedings of an ISSI workshop, 19-23 March 2001, Bern, Switzerland

Ph. Jetzer, Editor ; K. Pretzl, Editor ; R. Von Steiger, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2002

The knowledge of the amount and nature of matter present in the Universe is undoubtedly one of the most relevant topics in astrophysics and cosmology. It started with the pioneering work of Zwicky in 1933, who found the need for a large amount o[...]

The astrophysics of galactic cosmic rays : proceedings of two ISSI workshops, 18-22 October 1999 and 15-19 2000, Bern, Switzerland

R. Diehl, Editor ; E. Parizot, Editor ; Reinald Kallenbach, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2001

This volume specifically deals with the astrophysical sources and acceleration processes of CRs. The principal aims are to examine the cosmic ray phenomenon in the context of our evolving understanding of the galaxy as an astrophysical system. O[...]

Chronology and evolution of Mars : proceedings of an ISSI workshop, 10-14 April 2000, Bern, Switzerland

Reinald Kallenbach, Editor ; Johannes Geiss, Editor ; William K. Hartmann, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2001

This book results from a workshop at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern, Switzerland, where geochemists, geophysicists, and photogeologists have combined their expertise to constrain the timescales and geological processes [...]

Cosmic rays and Earth : proceedings of an International Space Science Institute (ISSI) workshop, 21-26 March 1999, Bern, Switzerland

J. W. Bieber, Editor ; E. Eroshenko, Editor ; P. Evenson, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2000

This book summarizes the results from the detection of cosmic rays at the surface and in the lower atmosphere of Earth during the fifty years since the invention of the neutron monitor by John A. Simpson in 1948. The properties of solar and gala[...]

Solar variability and climate : proceedings of an International Space Science Institute (ISSI) workshop, 28 June - 2 July 1999, Bern, Switzerland

E. Friis-Christensen, Editor ; C. Frohlich, Editor ; J. D. Haigh, Editor | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 2000

The variability of the sun is well established, as well as that of the Earth's climate. To what extent the two are connected, in the sense that solar variability drives climate, is the subject of considerable research and, in some cases, controv[...]

Solar composition and its evolution from core to corona : proceedings of an ISSI Workshop 26-30 January 1998, Bern, Switzerland

C. Frohlich | [S.l.] : Kluwer Academic Publishers | Space science series of ISSI | 01/01/1999

The sun now studied is far removed from its early models that describes a homogeneous spherical body: chemical fractionation as well as considerable fine-structure in and above the solar surface, and internal mixing must now be taken into accoun[...]
