Center for Planetary Research (Copenhagen University)
- Center for Planetary Research (Copenhagen University)
The Center for Planetary Science at the University of Copenhagen was created in February 2001 when the planetary science groups from NBIfAFG and DSRI were merged. Together with associated national and international groups it aims to strengthen planetary research in Denmark and to provide a platform for the education of planetary researchers. It spans a broad range of disciplines from astronomy, physics, geophysics, and space instrumentation to geology and biology.
Purpose
* To gather and develop initiatives in Planetary Science
* To participate internationally in Planetary Science missions through development of instruments for ESA and NASA missions
* To use existing and ongoing observations to model the conditions on the planets, moons, asteroids, and meteorites, thereby gaining knowledge on their formation, evolution, and present conditions.
* To create an active, international research environment.
