Basalt Genesis Across the Solar System: Observational and Experimental Studies of Shergottite and Eucrite Meteorites
DownloadSpring 2017
This thesis consists of three projects based on exploring igneous processes on two parent bodies: the HED (howardite-eucrite-diogenite) parent body and Mars. The HED parent body is an asteroidal parent body (possibly Vesta) that differentiated rapidly in the early solar system; Mars is a planet...

Dating Magmatism on Mars: Application of In-Situ and Microsampling Techniques for Shergottite Geochronology
DownloadFall 2022
Establishing an absolute time scale of Mars is critical to understanding the planet’s geological evolution. Currently, martian meteorites are the only samples of the planet available for radiometric geochronology analysis in terrestrial laboratory settings. The record of known martian absolute...
