Now 150 years later, we continue to teach theory combined with practice. Nearly all of our undergraduate classes include a laboratory section in which students make observations, take measurements, record data, and develop interpretations. Our faculty lead 8-10 field trips each semester enabling our students to experience both ancient rocks and the modern geological processes that govern them. Between the junior and senior year, we immerse our students in the physically rugged and intellectually challenging environment of Indiana University’s Judson Mead Geologic Field Station (IUGFS) in Montana. The IUGFS course has been taught every year since 1949. Over the past five years, a total of 380 students drawn from 110 colleges and universities have completed the IUGFS summer course. Combined excellence in theory and practice is the core of undergraduate teaching, graduate training, and faculty research at IU’s Department of Geological Sciences. The limestone-clad Geology building on 10th Street was completed in 1962, centering the Department’s laboratories, classrooms, and offices in a single location that served the needs of faculty and students forty years. With increasing demand for advanced analytical facilities and high-resolution measurements in the 1990’s, Geological Sciences was a campus leader in advocating for the Multidisciplinary Science Building II (MSB-II) just across the street from the Geology Building. When MSB-II was completed in 2009, the biogeochemical, the analytical chemistry, and stable isotope research facilities graduated into world-class research space. The 4th floor of MSB-II houses numerous instruments and experimental apparatuses for organic geochemical and hydrochemical research as well as a cleanroom for preparation of geological samples for measurement of metal isotope ratios. The expanded laboratory facilities in MSB- II were key ingredients in recent successful proposals for highly competitive awards from NSF and NASA, including a multi-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer and two stable-isotope mass spectrometers. In addition to new major instruments, the Department has an electron microprobe, a scanning electron microscope, two X-ray diffraction units, two ion chromatographs, an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, three isotope mass spectrometers, a piston-cylinder pressure apparatus and numerous field meters and data-logging devices. Students in geophysics have access to data from IRIS, which is the most advanced seismic network for monitoring of Earth’s dynamic movements, because members of our faculty were among the visionary founding members of this university consortium sponsored by NSF. These facilities, combined with the field resources at the IUGFS, our internationally ranked paleontological research collection, our extensive stratigraphic collection, and our experimental

  • Mercury's Geochronology Revised by Applying Model Production Functions to Mariner 10 Data: Geological Implications
    Mercury’s geochronology revised by applying Model Production Functions to Mariner 10 data: geological implications Matteo Massironi1,2, Gabriele Cremonese3, Simone Marchi4, Elena Martellato2, Stefano Mottola5, Roland J. Wagner 5 1 Dipartimento di Geoscienze, Università di Padova, via Giotto 1, I-35137 Padova, Italy [email protected] 2 CISAS, Università di di Padova , Italy 3 INAF, Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova, Italy 4 Dipartimento di Astronomia, Università di Padova, Italy 5 German Aerospace Center (DLR), Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, Germany Abstract Model Production Function chronology uses dynamic models of the Main Belt Asteroids (MBAs) and Near Earth Objects (NEOs) to derive the impactor flux to a target body. This is converted into the crater size-frequency-distribution for a specific planetary surface, and calibrated using the radiometric ages of different regions of the Moon’s surface. This new approach has been applied to the crater counts on Mariner 10 images of the highlands and of several large impact basins on Mercury. MPF estimates for the plains show younger ages than those of previous chronologies. Assuming a variable uppermost layering of the Hermean crust, the age of the Caloris interior plains may be as young as 3.59 Ga, in agreement with MESSENGER results that imply that long-term volcanism overcame contractional tectonics. The MPF chronology also suggests a variable projectile flux through time, coherent with the MBAs for ancient periods and then gradually comparable also to the NEOs. 1. Introduction From the middle 1960s onwards, the cratering records from planetary surfaces has been used to obtain age determinations for geological units and processes, as well as to make inferences about the time-dependent regimes of impactor fluxes throughout the Solar System.

Our center will be a consortium composed of senior level investigators representing Indiana University, Princeton University, University of Tennessee, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National laboratory, University of Toronto, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute. We believe our expertise in subsurface ecosystems and our access to extraordinary analytical facilities and field sites will enable development of synergistic relationships with other biological, geological and planetary research in the NAI.
