The first results from asteroid #Bennu samples are out!

Our group used X-rays to study their mineralogy, finding evidence for abundant minerals formed by water-rock reactions in the early Solar System.

Just found this nice review video! Our @PNASNexus paper on the temperature and CO2 reconstructions from the #Chicxulub crater made it to their list of paleo-papers 🦖☄️. Happy to discuss geochemistry with you @raptor_chatter 😃! https://t.co/cELrXEAUiZ @AMGC_VUB @researchvub

You've heard of Clair de Lune, but what about crater de Luna? 🪨

The #Landsat 8 satellite captured this image of a meteorite impact site—Luna crater—located in India's Gujarat state in the Banni Plains grassland in February 2024. https://t.co/EnV3LbCPsM

The Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe, which took more than 100 researchers over a decade to compile, reveals a total of 12,341 craters, 81 basins and 17 rock types, along with other basic geological information about the lunar surface https://t.co/c38GHJBysE

So happy that my first PhD paper is out! We looked at #zircon microstructures and reported evidence of precursor cubic zirconia for the first time at the West Clearwater Lake impact structure in #Canada

I'm excited to share that my Masters thesis work done at @AuburnU has been published in @MeteoriticalSoc @MeteoriticsPS journal.
This brings back memories of my solo fieldwork days in Wetumpka @ElmoreComm , a small city in suburban Alabama!

Happy to share our latest article in JGR Planets! 🪐We present a number of case studies where we have used X-ray/neutron tomography as a tool to analyze impactites and planetary samples, including Martian meteorites and Libyan Desert Glass. Hope you find it interesting! @Lundsuni
