David Stevenson

David J. Stevenson is a prominent geophysicist and planetary scientist known for his research on the internal structure and dynamics of planets and moons. He studies how planets' interiors develop, including their magnetic fields, thermal evolution, and composition. His work helps us understand the processes that shape planetary bodies, including Earth’s core and volcanic activity on other planets like Mars and icy moons such as Europa. Stevenson’s insights contribute to our knowledge of planetary formation, evolution, and potential habitability, making him a leading figure in planetary science.
