EXOPLANETS & THE SOLAR SYSTEM


Our world-leading research is at the forefront of planetary physics focuses on understanding the climates, atmospheres, surfaces, interiors, dynamics, formation, evolution, and habitability of the many worlds both in our solar system (such as Mars and Venus) and throughout our galaxy; as well as Earth's place among them. Our researchers combine their expertise in theory, observations, astronomical instrumentation and space instrumentation to bridge departments within Physics and Earth Science in pursuit of this interdisciplinary science. Exoplanets is a fast-paced, discovery-driven field covering our solar system and beyond and Oxford is home to one of its largest research hubs in Europe.
