Jeff Andrews-Hanna Assistant Professor Dept of Geophysics Green Center, Rm 280K Home News People Research Publications Opportunities Teaching Field trip Contact	Space and Planetary Science and Engineering Area of Special Interest: I am the director of the Area of Special Interest (an undergraduate concentration) in Space and Planetary Science and Engineering. This is a cross-departmental program covering the many aspects of engineering and science applied to problems beyond the Earth (astronomy, planetary science, space exploration, and more). (link) GPGN 475/598 Planetary Geophysics (Fall): Thic class focuses focusing on the processes that drive the formation and evolution of the planets and moons of the solar system. A key focus will be to investigate how and why the planets differ, and to develop a quantitative understanding of the key processes that have shaped their surfaces and interiors. Contact me for more information. GPGN 470/570 Applications of Remote Sensing (Spring): This class covers theory and applications of remote sensing to the Earth and planets. Students learn to analyze and interpret remote sensing data through lectures, labs, and a final project. GPGN 598B Special Topics in Planetary Science: This is a one credit hour weekly reading group. The topic will change each semester.     Fall of 2010 topic: Mars Tectonics     Fall of 2010 topic: New results at Saturn from Cassini
