Hello, and welcome! 👋
We're the Forming Worlds Lab at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute, University of Groningen. We study how rocky planets form and evolve, and what makes a world habitable, from early magma oceans 🌋 to the atmospheres of distant exoplanets 🪐. We model planetary interiors and atmospheres together, and we build the open-source PROTEUS framework our science runs on, in the open. 💻
Over the coming days, we'll introduce our group members one by one, and the research projects each of them leads.
After that, expect regularly:
🪐 the wonder of rocky planets and alien worlds
📄 recent papers and science results
🎤 conference updates and talks
📸 life in the Forming Worlds Lab
It's an exciting time to explore other worlds. Glad to have you here, follow along! 🌍
