Speaker

Dr Thara N. Sathyan (University College Of Engineering Kariavattom, Thiruvananthapuram, India)

Description

We have studied the maps of radio active mineral distribution in Earth, Moon and Mars obtained from in situ and remote sensing observations. The distribution of U and Th in these rocky planets show some interesting features in association with internal heat distribution and volcanism. The results of our studies will be helpful for mining , space exploration and understanding the geophysical history of these planets.
