Planetary missions over the past decade have shown that while surface conditions on planetary bodies across the Solar System vary widely, their landscapes often mirror features found on Earth. Understanding how geophysical flows—such as wind, water, ice, and sediment transport—shape these landscapes is key to interpreting both current and past climatic conditions. This session welcomes abstracts on any aspect of planetary geomorphology, including but not restricted to: Earth analogues, laboratory experiments, numerical models, planetary comparison, mapping, in situ data or remote sensing studies. Studies are welcome that concern rocky or icy solid bodies of the Solar System as well as exoplanets. By bringing together researchers from both planetary science and Earth surface processes, this session aims to foster collaboration and deeper insights into how diverse environments, both on Earth and beyond, respond to physical forces.
