Interiors and Surfaces Node

This website is dedicated to the thematic field of Interiors and Surfaces as part of the Integrated and Distributed Information Service (IDIS) developed during

the EUROPlaNet Project. In General the IDIS System is divided into four thematic nodes and one technical top node.The EuroPlaNet IDIS thematic science node "Planetary Interiors and Surfaces" is hosted by the Institute of Planetary Research of the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt in Berlin-Adlershof, Germany and is established in close cooperation with the Laboratoire de Planétologie et Géodynamique de Nantes.\r\nThe four EuroPlaNet IDIS thematic science nodes (Planetary Surfaces and Interiors, Atmospheres, Plasma Science and Small Bodies) are dedicated to open a web window to the status of solar system research and provide an effective information management system for scientists and interested persons about solar system knowledge, databases and scientific tools.\r\nThe main aim of the Planetary Interior and Surface node will be to:

• support collaborative work in the field of planetary interiors and surfaces
• provide information about data bases and scientific tools in this field
• establish an scientific information management
• define and develop Science Cases regarding IDIS

Actually the specific science cases related to planetary interiors and surfaces are under construction:
