Abbreviation of location of studies: ELTE


Description of the research topic:

The discipline of planetology deals with the study of extraterrestrial bodies. In the framework of this doctoral topic announcement, the student conducts planetology research related to the surface of a planetary body in our solar system. It can be an Earth-type, icy or small planetary body. The focus of the research is the geomorphological, morphometric, geological and/or spectral examination of the surface, based on which the evolutionary history of the surface can be revealed. Terrestrial or other celestial analogies may be used. In the study, it is an advantage if the student makes the work more efficient by using geospatial information methods (GIS) and artificial intelligence (data management, image processing, pattern identification models). Among the final products of the work may be the creation of a map, GIS, landform database or geologic surface development model.
