Planetary Geology
The geological history of the planets, moons, asteroids and comets in the solar system, and how impacts have shaped their surfaces.
Solar System Evolution
How dust and gas came together to form planets capable of supporting life, and how we can read that record in extra-terrestrial materials.
Earth in the Solar System
The origins of life on our planet, and how impacts have shaped its early history, punctuated the evolution of life, and continue to be a threat.
Artemis Science
The Artemis Program is the largest space exploration project in history. Science is its foundation. SSTC researchers contribute to every element of Artemis science.
Applied Planetary Research
The Desert Fireball Network, or DFN, is an exemplar of how science can generate new knowledge which can be used in applied research to deliver specific solutions.
Publications
Our researchers have an excellent track record of publishing in leading international journals (Nature, Science) and making an impact in space science.
