This learning path equips students with foundational knowledge in planetary science and the communication and education skills needed to share it with students and the public. It covers core planetary science concepts, science communication principles, and practical applications in education and public engagement.
This learning path explores the fundamentals of space weather, its interactions with planetary magnetospheres and atmospheres, and its impacts on human technology and astronauts. It covers the Sun's output, the solar wind, magnetospheric dynamics, radiation hazards, and protective measures.
This learning path equips undergraduate students with the knowledge to assess and mitigate asteroid impact threats. It covers the fundamentals of impact hazards, NEO surveys, risk assessment, and mitigation strategies, including the DART mission and international cooperation frameworks.
This advanced graduate-level path systematically explores volcanic processes on terrestrial planets and icy moons, integrating planetary geology, geophysics, petrology, and thermodynamics. Learners will move from fundamental magmatic principles to comparative planetology, examining eruption styles, landforms, and cryovolcanism across diverse planetary bodies.
A graduate-level path exploring the physical processes governing long-term climate change on terrestrial planets, including greenhouse feedbacks, atmospheric escape, and climate stability, with case studies of Venus, Mars, and Earth's ice ages.
This learning path provides a systematic introduction to planetary protection, covering the scientific and policy frameworks that prevent biological contamination in space exploration. It begins with foundational knowledge in astrobiology, microbiology, and space policy, then explores key concepts such as forward and backward contamination, sterilization techniques, microbial survival, and specific applications like Mars protection and sample return safety. The path concludes with an integrated case study to apply the learned principles.
This learning path provides a comprehensive introduction to the potential and challenges of using planetary resources. It covers the geological context, key resource types, extraction and processing technologies (ISRU), and the economic and legal frameworks that shape space resource utilization. Designed for university students interested in space exploration, it integrates planetary science, engineering, and policy perspectives.
This learning path connects planetary science to astrobiology, exploring habitability, biosignatures, and the ongoing search for life beyond Earth. It covers essential concepts from planetary science, chemistry, and biology, and applies them to Mars, ocean worlds, and sample return missions.
This learning path guides graduate students through the end-to-end design of planetary exploration missions, from scientific objectives and orbital mechanics to spacecraft subsystems, mission operations, and data return. It integrates core planetary science, engineering, and project management knowledge to prepare learners for careers in mission design.
This path equips graduate students in planetary science with the skills to analyze data from planetary missions. It covers mission data reduction, time-series analysis, spectral fitting, mapping, statistics, and machine learning applications, with a foundation in remote sensing, programming, and signal processing.
