This book presents an exploration of the potential diversity of rocky planets through a quantitative study of how planetary processes change as properties deviate from the Earth. Changes in four specific properties are considered: the presence of a magnetic field, the production and loss of internal heat, planetary composition and volatile abundance. This book will be of great interest to astrophysicists and planetary scientists focusing on exoplanets.

Fujii, Yuka: - Yuka Fujii is an Associate Professor at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. Her primary area of research is the characterization of exoplanets with a focus on the strategies to study the surface environment of potentially habitable exoplanets.

Laneuville, Matthieu: - Matthieu Laneuville received his PhD in geophysics in 2013 from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. He joined the Earth-Life Science Institute at Tokyo Institute of Technology in 2014 as a research scientist. He is now project Associate Professor in that same institute and focuses his research on characterising the possible diversity of rocky planets based on our understanding of processes from bodies in our solar system.

Tasker, Elizabeth J.: - Elizabeth J Tasker is an Associate Professor in astrophysics at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Her research focuses on the formation of stars and planets through hydrodynamical simulations and machine learning algorithms. Tasker is also a science communicator, writing principally on the subject of exoplanets and solar system exploration. Her popular science book The Planet Factory was published in 2017.
