I'm excited to share that my Masters thesis work done at Auburn University has been published in Meteoritical Society Meteoritics & Planetary Science journal. This brings back memories of my solo fieldwork days in Wetumpka Elmore County, AL , a small city in suburban Alabama! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Daily Space🚀 Question: Which of the following missions is NASA's first asteroid sample return mission, aiming to collect samples from an asteroid and return them to Earth for study? A) Voyager B) New Horizons C) OSIRIS-REx D) Cassini

So happy that my first PhD paper is out! We looked at #zircon microstructures and reported evidence of precursor cubic zirconia for the first time at the West Clearwater Lake impact structure in #Canada Gordon Oz Osinski DrTMNZ

The Geologic Atlas of the Lunar Globe, which took more than 100 researchers over a decade to compile, reveals a total of 12,341 craters, 81 basins and 17 rock types, along with other basic geological information about the lunar surface go.nature.com/3Ue0Zhd

You've heard of Clair de Lune, but what about crater de Luna? 🪨 The #Landsat 8 satellite captured this image of a meteorite impact site—Luna crater—located in India's Gujarat state in the Banni Plains grassland in February 2024. go.nasa.gov/4dfEnFS

📢 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.

New potential meteorite dropping fireball ☄️☄️observed by UK Fireball Alliance cameras in the UK near Stoke last week - read more at ukfall.org.uk/2024-the-stoke… please keep an eye out in case anyone finds a potential meteorite 🪨🪨 in the area and report it to us

The first results from asteroid #Bennu samples are out! Our group used X-rays to study their mineralogy, finding evidence for abundant minerals formed by water-rock reactions in the early Solar System. nasa.gov/missions/osiri…
