Dr. Hilke Elisabeth Schlichting (UCLA)
I will discuss recent insights that we have gained into planet formation form our solar system. In the first half of my talk, I will focus on the Kuiper belt, located at the outskirts of our planetary system, which provides a snapshot of earlier stages of planet formation and is therefore an ideal laboratory for testing planet formation theories. In the second half of my talk, I will review geochemical constraints from the Earth, Moon and Mars and discuss their implications for the last stage of terrestrial planet formation.
