This course aims to provide an understanding of the formation, evolution, composition, structure and dynamics of planetary bodies in our solar system and beyond, including new developments in the field and links to past, current and future space missions.

The course will guide students in learning about the capabilities and limitations of potential field data, namely gravity and magnetic measurements as collected by industry, in determining geological sources.It will follow a mathematical approach, and students will learn to apply mathematical strategies to generate quantitative answers to geophysical questions.
