The Munich node of the Geoastronomy project aims to deeply understand the connections between the interior and mantle of an exoplanet and their expression into the atmosphere via outgassing. We aim to elucidate the relationship between outgassing chemistry and the observed spectra by understanding the effects of atmospheric mixing and photochemistry.
Finally, we wish to understand the limitations of interpreting these spectra via Bayesian machine learning methods.
