Accretionary Wedge #13: Request for Posts
Hello everyone,
It’s my turn again to host the geoblogosphere’s blog carnival, The Accretionary Wedge. This month for the Wedges thirteenth edition the theme, as chosen by me, is:
Geology in Space (pronounced Geologeeeeee in Spaaaaaaaace).
Geology doesn’t just happen here on Earth, it’s happening everywhere there’s a small amount of silicates being drawn together by gravity. This month, give yourself a few hours, pick a body within the solar system, and tell the world about the geology that goes on there. You could talk about yardangs on Mars, the extreme tectonics of Venus, the enormous equaitorial ridge on Saturn’s moon Iapetus, what the HED meteorites tell us about 4 Vesta, or anything else that may tickle your geological interest.
The Earth is so huge and varied geologically, just think about what else is going on, on the other 7 planets and thousands of other bodies in the solar system.
I’ll be handing my MSc thesis (which deals with the formation of the solar system) in on the 25th of September, so that’s the date for everyone to get their submissions to me on the weird and wonderful things that have happened since. Either email me (chris (-then the usual symbol-) goodshist.com), or post a link in the comment thread of this post.
Happy writing!

Posted! I have two of them for you.
The first, comes from my colleague, Peter Polito and deals with Titan:
