The aim of the Comparative planetology forum is to support and enhance research in planetary science (e.g., studies of Mars, the Moon, asteroids, impact craters), the early Earth, and astrobiology. These aims will be met by facilitating collaborations, for example through focused science meetings, and enhancing researcher mobility by building links between institutions through initiatives such as equipment sharing. The forum also seeks to enhance the impact of our research through engagement with industry including the Scottish satellite companies and spaceports, governmental organisations, and the general public.
