Volatile dynamics and regolith interactions on solar system bodies
Over the recent decades, several remote observations have provided evidence for water on the Moon. Due to the lack of in-situ measurements, the nature of lunar water is not yet sufficiently understood. Open fundamental questions include the origin and form, spatial distribution, temporal variation, transport processes, and surface interactions. In VOLARIS, I will employ a novel modelling and experimental approach to address these questions and characterise their main influencing factors. I will specifically study the combined physical, chemical, and thermal processes across the exosphere, surface, and subsurface that govern the dynamic behaviour of volatile water. These investigations will…
