[Baps] PLS April 8th @12:30pm — Baptiste Journaux (University of Washington)

[Jason Soderblom]

Dear planetary community,

I’m pleased to announce that our next MIT Planetary Lunch Seminar will be given by Baptiste Journaux, University of Washington (details below).  Baptiste’s research interests<https://bjournaux.wordpress.com/about/> range from the geophysics of icy ocean worlds, to high pressure mineral physics, to deep ocean conditions.

If you would like to meet with Baptiste, please select a time here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mWCfA2f1nzKYDEjisc6Xh7-c_RRYgvRleiMAzffNcEQ/edit?gid=0#gid=0


Cheers,
Jason Soderblom


Date: Tuesday April 8th

Time: 12:30 — 1:30 (arrive a few minutes early to serve lunch)

Title: 300 leagues under the extraterrestrial seas: fundamental thermodynamic and mineralogical discoveries in the era of icy moon exploration

Abstract: Icy moons of the outer solar system and water-rich exoplanets are anticipated to harbor vast and deep oceans. The pressures encountered in such environments are significantly higher than those found on Earth up to sevel kilobars. These elevated pressures have profound effects on the thermodynamic properties of fluids and solids, which remain poorly understood. In this presentation, I will discuss recent research efforts aimed at addressing these knowledge gaps. I will also emphasize the discovery of a new class of minerals and the development of novel fundamental thermodynamic concepts that have emerged from experimental exploration of conditions within these water-rich worlds. I will further discuss the implications of these discoveries on the structure and habitability of water-worlds, and future mission observations with Europa Clipper, Dragonfly, and JUICE.
