🚀🚀Congratulations to the Chang’e 6 team for returning world’s first samples from the far side of the 🌙 Well done!👏👏

Super congrats Dr. Yang! 🥳🥳🥳

An amazing scheme to fund early career researchers for 8 years (!!). Interested in the scheme and seismology or like to be based in Oxford, do get in touch for advice!

Happy to share that I was interviewed by Science Magazine for a recent PNAS paper! I discussed how our recent findings support Hadean subduction due to the moon-forming impact 💥🌙

Dang!! This is coolest thing to hit Venus since the Soviets sent landers. 😎 I can’t stand that (sulfuric acid) rain ! Missy Elliott great choice of favorite planet 😍. I wonder how Venus will reply?

If you've been curious about ways that geology of Saturn's moons can be used to look at their formation and evolution, take a look at our review paper just published! Lead by Alyssa Rhoden , we take a look at each satellite and what we need in the future! doi.org/10.1007/s11214…

This is a big deal and the sort of discovery we were hoping to make with Perseverance. But we also knew that such a discovery would warrant confirmation with capabilities and analyses only possible in laboratories here on Earth. I hope we will be able to do so!

Happy Friday 🥳

Former PhD student Nicole Nie Nicole Xike Nie, now assistant professor at MIT, has been selected as the recipient of the 2025 Nier Prize of the Meteoritical Society. Congratulations Nicole! 🎉 🎖️

Our latest work in @nature proposing a new theory to explain the origin & association of great escarpments and enigmatic plateaus in continental interiors. In collaboration with Sascha Brune, Derek Keir, @AliceGeology et al. University of Southampton OceanEarthUniSoton rdcu.be/dQg69

A quick reminder that School of Earth and Space Exploration is eligible to host Heising-Simons Foundation #51PegbFellows in planetary astronomy. Applications for this postdoc opportunity are due Oct 4. More info here: hsfoundation.org/programs/scien…

Strongest earthquake I felt in my life, 4.7 at Pasadena! All my colleagues at Caltech Seismo Lab are looking at the seismographs 👀

Started a new job this week as an assistant professor Purdue EAPS 🚂🌽 The fullest circle from Center Grove, IN to Brown, WashU, Carnegie, NASA, and now back to my home state. I am thrilled to give back to our community and build our geoscience strengths! youtube.com/watch?v=aD-LpR…

Faculty job opening: At Berkeley we're looking for an Assistant Professor in Earth & Planetary Science! Emphasis on, *but not limited to*, ocean science, geophysics and interior processes, and interface of Earth Science & mineral, energy, water resources. aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF04527

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

Hands down, the best image I’ve seen this year 🌙

Excited to see our work on the 2024 Noto EQ led by Liuwei Xu, Ji Chen, and Lingsen Meng featured on the cover of Science Magazine! Combining seismic & geodetic data, we found complex ruptures in the initial stage of this New Year's EQ that led to violent shaking

This beautiful plate-tectonic dance of Earth's plates over nearly half the planet's life was created by Xianzhi Cao based on our recent study (Cao et al. 2024 tinyurl.com/5n72mmup) integrating the geology of the world with high-quality palaeomagnetic data. Environmental Futures @ UOW

It’s been a while — excited to share that I’ll be an Assistant Professor at the Texas A&M Geology and Geophysics of Texas A&M this summer! My deepest appreciation to my mentors School of Earth and Space Exploration Caltech, friends and family❤️! I am now looking for students and postdocs for my 'IMPACT' lab!!
