The topography and gravity measurements from missions to Venus and Mars are among a few data available to constrain models of the interior structure and dynamics of these planets. These measurements reveal various intriguing features whose origins have generated debates in the p…

This thesis offers a theoretical investigation into concepts of beauty, the sculptured body and myths of Venus and Medusa, primarily through the works of Igor Mitoraj and Marc Quinn. These themes are transformed and inverted in the Looking-glass towards the trans-body, which is …
Venus and Earth are planets similar in size, mass, and presumed internal heat budget, and thus one might expect similar processes of heat transfer recorded at the surface. However, Venus lacks plate tectonics and therefore its heat transfer mechanisms are unknown. Due to the pla…
This thesis is composed of two distinct themes. The first concerns the chemical structure of Venus's atmosphere. Venus's atmosphere can be roughly separated into lower and middle regions separated by a thick cloud deck. When modeling the chemistry of Venus' atmosphere past resea…
Extreme ultraviolet and X-ray photons from the Sun generate a partially ionized region in the atmosphere of a planet called an ionosphere. Solar activity, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and changes in the ionizing irradiance affect planetary ionospheres on short…
