Description
Impact-Driven Change in the Solar System
(RAS Lecture Theatre, Burlington House)
High-speed impacts play a role in the evolution of material in the solar system and beyond, and associated high-energy processes associated can drive the destruction or creation of compounds associated with prebiotic life from the basic elements through to amino acids.
_Organizers: Dr Emma Taylor (OU; E.A.Taylor [ at ] open.ac.uk), Dr Mark Burchell (Kent; M.J.Burchell [ at ] kent.ac.uk) _

Additional information
Specialist Discussion Meetings cover all branches of astrophysics and solid-earth geophysics (including, but not limited to, cosmology, astrobiology, cosmochemistry, astroparticle physics, computational astrophysics; geophysical fluid dynamics, planetary sciences, solar-terrestrial physics).
Admission to the Specialist Discussion Meetings is normally free to RAS members and £15 to non-members (£5 to students), collected on the door, while GSL members may normally attend “G” meetings at no charge. Note that special rates apply for the February BGA meeting. RAS and GSL members should bring their membership cards, and students their student cards, as identification.
