Planetary Systems: A Synergistic View

With exciting new results coming from both exoplanet observations and solar system exploration missions, it sometimes seems that the two fields of “planetary studies” aren’t talking to each other. This conference will bring together exoplanet and solar system specialists to address the major new observational projects and what we expect to learn over the next decade. The conference will be organized along the following major themes:

• Lessons from Solar Systems and Exoplanets
• Comparative Studies of Planet Formation
• Criteria for Habitability and Lessons from our Solar System
• Future Missions
