Dr. Wisdom at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will                    conduct a research program with this Presidential Young                         Investigator Award on the application of the methods of modern                  nonlinear dynamics to physical problems in dynamical astronomy in               the Solar System.                                                                                                                                               Solar system dynamics encompasses the orbital and rotational                    dynamics of the planets and their satellites, the coupling                      between them, and the slow evolution due to tidal friction.                     Dr. Wisdom has shown that chaotic behavior has played an                        important role in shaping the distribution of asteroids, that                   chaotic trajectories provide the pathway for the transport of                   meteorites from the asteroid belt to Earth, that Saturn's                       satellite Hyperion is currently tumbling chaotically, and indeed                that all tidally.evolved, irregularly.shaped natural satellites                 tumbled chaotically in the past.  Dr. Wisdom will continue to                   investigate such problems in dynamical astronomy in the light of                modern approaches to dynamics.
