Dr. Angelo Pio Rossi is a planetary scientist who received his
doctoral degree at the Unviersity of D’Annunczio, Pescara, in
2004. He was appointed as Professor of Earth and Planetary
Science at the Department of Physics & Earth Sciences at
Jacobs University Bremen where he researches and teaches
topics of Earth and planetary sciences. His main research
interests are in planetary geology, remote sensing, terrestrial
analogue studies, and impact cratering. He has been involved
with ESA and NASA Mars missions. He has been publishing
papers on topics of planetary geology and geomorphology and is
a member of the editorial board of Planetary & Space
Science and co-editor of the Springer/ISSI Space Sciences
Series volume 59 onDust Devils.
Dr. Stephan van Gasselt received his doctoral degree on topics of
Martian geomorphology at the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany
in 2007 and was appointed at National Chengchi
University, Taiwan, where he teaches and researches on topics
of Earth and planetary sciences with a focus on geology and
geomorphology, He has been involved as Co-Investigator in a number
of ESA missions. He is executive editor for the Elsevier
journal GeoResJ.
The authors’ backgrounds span over a broad range of topics and
disciplines: rooted in Earth geoscience, their expertise
covers remote sensing and cartography, field mapping,
impact cratering, volcanology and tectonics, sedimentology and
stratigraphy exobiology and life in extreme environments,
planetary resources and mining. Several generations of planetary
scientists arecooperating, to provide a modern view on a discipline
developed from Earth during and through Space exploration.
