People

The Edinburgh Centre for Planetary Sciences (ECPS) brings together all staff and students across the University of Edinburgh who are engaged in planetary science research and teaching.

Our community spans multiple Schools and disciplines, reflecting the inherently interdisciplinary nature of planetary science—from astronomy and geoscience to engineering, chemistry, biology, and data science.
