CRC TRR 170 - B03: Tracing the origin of the late veneer using nucleosynthetic isotope anomalies in siderophile elements
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted outside University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2016 - 31/12/2019 | 1st Funding period
Description
The aim of this study is to use nucleosynthetic Ru and Mo isotope anomalies in chondrites and lunar samples to evaluate whether the late veneer and the main building blocks of the Earth share the same genetic heritage, to establish a link between known groups of meteorites and late-accreted materials, and to identify any changes in the origin and composition of these materials over time. As such, this study will provide new insights into the origin and composition of the late veneer, its relation to the formation of the Earth, and the dynamics of the late stages of terrestrial planet formation.
