Ices in the Solar-System: A Volatile-Driven Journey from the Inner Solar System to its Far Reaches details the evolution of ice on planetary bodies within the Solar System, including terrestrial planets and the Moon, Ceres and other dwarf planets or volatile asteroids, icy Galilean and Saturnian satellites, Triton and disparate Uranian moons, and Pluto, other Kuyper belt objects and comets. The book provides a robust view of the different ice types throughout the Solar System, i.e., H2O, CO2, CH4, etc., that characterize icy processes on disparate bodies.

Ice and icy processes at micro through to macro scales are discussed and underpinned by the evolution of ice on a multiplicity of bodies large and small. The book geographically spans the major planetary bodies of the Solar System, covering surface and subsurface geologies, geophysics and geochemistry of ices to answer questions such as the nature and extent of water ice and different frozen volatile species, how do ices give us clues to interiors and oceans, and more.

Presents a comprehensive discussion of icy bodies and processes throughout the Solar System, spanning all applicable planetary bodies
Discusses ice at the micro-scale (i.e., post nebular origins) through to a macro-scale, facilitating understanding of icy processes and associated landscape evolution through multi-scalar perspectives
Describes the disparate ices associated with the geological evolution of bodies large and small throughout the solar system, broadening the focus and highlighting landscape evolution derived of the disparate ice types
