Abstract submission to the 2024 Meteoritical Society meeting open now. I look forward to seeing you all in Brussels!

What do meteorites have to do with climate change? Veronica Tollenaar, Harry Zekollari et al show that ~5,000 meteorties become inaccessible per year as they melt into the Antarctic due to climate change go.nature.com/3U9knwV

📢 Job opportunity! Several PhD positions available at the Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry research group of the VUB on #ERC Consolidator Grant project FLUX to work with me on fossil micrometeorites ☄️ Deadline 07/06/202 Details on the European Association of Geochemistry job page.

One more week to apply... 💫✨

Huilin Jin, a current member of our team, has been doing great work extracting fossil micrometeorites from rocks dating hundreds of millions of years! These "grains", although tiny, could provide large amounts of knowledge on the Earth’s ancient dusty interplanetary environment!

Preparations for MetSoc2024 are in full swing! #conferencegoodies Dr. Jean-Guillaume Vinciane Debaille

New evidence points to the giant space rock that killed the dinosaurs being a carbonaceous chondrite, an ancient and rare type of meteorite. By me for News from Science science.org/content/articl…

In a new paper in Science, VUB scientists from Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry research lab helped fingerprint the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs: prez.ly/ZpRc

Scientists have pinpointed the origin and composition of the asteroid that caused the mass extinction 66 million years ago, revealing it was a rare carbonaceous asteroid from beyond Jupiter, according to a new study in Science. 📄: scim.ag/83F

Research teams from the Université libre de Bruxelles and VUB have begun their trip to Antarctica and are excited to get back to work on the ice! There are two big research projects that these teams will be focusing on: ULTIMO and FROID 🧊☄️Follow link to learn more bit.ly/3Z7Ja5I

More on the recent success of the Belspo ULTIMO Antarctic expedition is also reported in De Standaard! Indeed, the success is not only within the large number of astromaterials collected, but also their large diversity! ☄️(In Dutch) standaard.be/cnt/dmf2025011…
