Excited to see our recent work on the Chang'E 5 ferrobasalt is out . This work led by Ziliang Jin, we used FIB-TEM and identified nano-scale metastable and stable immiscibility in the young lunar volcanism. #Moon doi.org/10.2138/am-202…

Our paper, led by Duncan Keller, on anorthosites is out in Science Advances. Anorthosites are mysterious rocks. Massive accumulations of feldspar. The big ones are only found on Earth around 1 - 1.7 billion years ago. The only other place we get them is on the moon, where they

#goldschmidt2024 is about to start. This year I will give a talk in the RiMG workshop about linking stars to exoplanet interior. On Monday l will present our recent work on super Mercury. Come and chat if you are interested in dense, reduced planets! conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/20…

urKREEP is a hypothetical component from the last dregs of lunar magma ocean crystallization but never found as a rock type. Ever wonder what it might be? with Bernard Charlier, Olivier Namur, and coauthors, here is what we found in our new EPSL paper: 1/8 doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl…

Yishen (Eason) Zhang Bernard Charlier Olivier Namur Great to see SLI. We found SLI during partial melting of urKREEP in a preliminary study by Arkadeep Roy . Definitely a way to form high Si magmas.
