CRC TRR 170 - C03: 182W heterogeneities in Earth's mantle – early differentiation, late accretion, and core-mantle interaction
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2020 - 31/12/2024 | 2nd Funding period
Description
The aim of this study is to use high-precision W isotope measurements on terrestrial and lunar samples to better assess the timing of late accretion relative to the formation of the Moon and to shed new light on how the late veneer was distributed within the Earth. On the basis of our new data we will ultimately address the fundamental issue of whether all previously generated chemical and isotopic heterogeneities in the Earth's mantle have been erased through the giant Moon-forming impact.
