Using planetary sample analysis, laboratory experiments, and numerical modeling, we investigate the physicochemical evolution of planetary bodies, including magma ocean dynamics, crustal dichotomy, volatile cycling, effusive-explosive volcanic eruption styles, and the evolution of planetary atmospheres.
