Probing planetary interior structure and processes with high-precision rotation measurements

Event Start:
2018-09-17T15:00:00
Event End:
2018-09-17T16:00:00
Event Information:

Profound developments in our understanding of the Earth, Moon, and other planetary bodies have been enabled by rotation studies.  I will describe the application of a new Earth-based radar technique that enables high-precision measurements of planetary spin states and provides powerful probes of planetary interior structure and processes.
