CLEVER Planets

A group funded by NASA's Science Mission Directorate exploring life origins on rocky planets. We are based at @RiceUniversity @RiceEarthSci. PI-@rdasgupta_earth

[Rajdeep Dasgupta @rdasgupta_earth]

On May 3rd, @RiceEarthSci , @RiceU_STEM, @RiceSpace Center for Planetary Origins to Habitability organized a 'first-of-its-kind' Open House event. An wide array of Earth and planetary displays and activities to expose the new generation of explorers.

Where and how the lavas in lunar farside South Pole were generated? In this work led by @RiceEarthSci, together with @rdasgupta_earth @DianJi2 @CinTyLeeEarth and collaborators, we explore the possibilities with a petrological approach 1/5

Want to know the lunar S evolution from Apollo to Chang’e-5 mantle? Check out our new GCA paper with @rdasgupta_earth! A new sulfur content at sulfide saturation (SCSS) model is also attached that is suitable for sulfides with variable metal-sulfur ratio.

How did S inventory evolve in the lunar mantle? - Tomorrow (Friday) morning Board 3015 at #AGU24, I'll present a new model designed with @rdasgupta_earth for lunar fO2, that can calculate the S solubility of silicate melts in equilibrium with sulfides of different metal/sulfur.

New estimates of Earth's deep mantle carbon budget! Important for assessing the origin of life-essential volatiles on Earth, Earth's long-term habitability.

@nexssinfo @NExSSManyWorlds @astrobiology @PCE3_Sci @NASAAstrobio

[Rajdeep Dasgupta @rdasgupta_earth]

🚨New paper: What is the carbon budget of the Earth’s deep mantle, globally? Chenguang Sun, a former @RiceEarthSci post-doc and a current @txgeosciences faculty member, and I have some new estimates. #petrology 🧵1/6
