SUMMARY:CHRISTMAS TALK - MERCURY\, METEORITES AND THE BEPICOLUMBO MISSION - DR JULIA CARTWRIGHT
DESCRIPTION:The talk explains why meteorites remain some of the most important materials for understanding the where\, what and why of our\nSolar System\, as they preserve information about key events and processes. For Mercury\, as one of the least\nexplored planets\, we still don’t exactly know how it formed or what is going on at the surface. I’ll be\ndiscussing how important these cosmic samples are\, and how they contribute to our knowledge of how the\nplanets\, like Mercury\, formed. With the upcoming ESA/JAXA BepiColombo mission on its way to\nMercury\, and building off of NASA MESSENGER mission data\, I’ll discuss some of the latest work being\ndone here at the Institute for Space\, University of Leicester\, in our research to understand the history of the\nsmallest rocky planet in our Solar System. \nDr. Cartwright is a planetary scientist\, cosmochemist and expert in the study of meteorites\, with research\nfocused on understanding the timings\, formation and evolution of planetary surfaces. She uses multiple\npetrological and geochemical analytical techniques to understand both large- and small-scale processes in\nthe Solar System.\nHaving worked in the field for over two decades\, including many notable international research institutions\,\nshe is currently an independent research fellow at the University of Leicester\, where she is leading research\nto understand the surface composition of the planet Mercury\, as part of the ESA/JAXA BepiColombo team\nusing novel equipment at UoL. She is also involved with in-situ resource utilisation (ISRU) topics\,\nparticularly for exploring applications to the lunar surface\, as well as studies of meteorites\, regoliths and\nasteroids. \nThe talk will be in person at Long Compton Village Hall 7pm for 7.30 Start (Members Only)
