Origins of Volatiles in Habitable Planets: The Solar System and Beyond

This meeting will bring together experts from geophysics, cosmo-chemistry, planetary science, astronomy, and other disciplines, to address critical aspects of planet formation that may influence the volatile content of planets found inside the ice-line.

Questions that will be addressed include:
*the primary carrier of various volatiles in evolving protoplanetary disk;
*whether volatiles are retained in primordial bodies, or are delivered later as icy or wet planetesimals;
*how volatiles are processed or lost during various stages of planetesimals growth;
*the timing of volatile delivery in terms of the presence/absence of a magma ocean;
*the fate of the delivered material which could be carried by differentiating metals into the planet core or blasted into space by impact.
