Additional information

Research area

- Measurements of high-precision Nd and Sm isotope composition in meteorites

- Study of the 146Sm-142Nd extinct decay system in meteorites

- Rare-Earth Elements (REE) cosmochemistry

- Origin, silicate differentiation and composition of the Earth and other planets in the solar system

- Source of the nucleosynthetic heterogeneities in the molecular cloud and protoplanetary disc.

- Nature and evolution of the first differentiated planetesimals

 

Check out our new paper in which we propose that Earth's composition was modified by collisions during its accretion from Nd and Sm isotope compositions in meteorites!
