(STFC) THE ATMOSPHERIC EVOLUTION OF MARS
Research Group:
Isotope Geochemistry & Planetary Science
Project overview. Mars’ atmospheric evolution was marked by an early, dense CO. 2. -rich atmosphere giving sufficient greenhouse warming to enable liquid water at the surface, followed by atmospheric loss leaving a less dense atmosphere with cold, arid surface conditions. Read more

(STFC) HISTORY OF THE LUNAR SURFACE
Research Group:
Isotope Geochemistry & Planetary Science
Project overview. The Moon’s surface has been shaped by multiple impacts and so records the impact history of the inner solar system. Any individual fragment of material from the lunar regolith (“lunar soil”) has potentially had a complex history since its initial formation (perhaps crystallization from a melt). Read more
