Planetary evolution and life

Basic data for this project

Type of project: Individual project

Duration at the University of Münster: 01/04/2008 - 31/03/2013

Description

The evolution of the planetary interiors and habitability of planets are linked. We will conduct isotopic analyses of the Shergottite-Nakhlite-Chassignite meteorite group to better constraint the constrain the mantle differentiation and degassing history of Mars.
