Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum: Center for Earth and Planetary Studies Research
http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/ceps/


Research at the Center for Earth and Planetary Studies (CEPS) concentrates on geology of the terrestrial planets and their satellites, geologic mapping of planetary surfaces, geomorphology and surface dynamics in arid and semi-arid regions of the Earth, and comparative planetology of volcanic and tectonic landforms on the Earth and other terrestrial planets. Most recently, research has begun to assess anthropogenic changes to the Earth's surface. Results of these studies are disseminated as books, articles for the general public, scholarly papers in professional journals, and lectures to the public and the professional science community. A Publication List indexes materials in the categories of Books; Reviewed Journal Articles, Conference Proceedings, and Book Chapters; and USGS Geologic Maps and Open-File Reports. The lists date back to 1975 and ordering information is available. Numerous links are provided to current research reports and centers. The Research Projects are grouped according to Terrestrial Geomorphology, Planetary Science, Land Cover Changes and Ecosystem Dynamics, and Other Activities. A page is reserved for the staff register. Most staff members have provided links to their personal pages, which are reserved for educational and research endeavors.
