Description
Seminar + analyses by LA-ICP-MS/MSWhy does it always rain on me?
Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink, as true for the ancient mariner as the modern Astronought. Water is a prerequisite for life on Earth and likely a key ingredient for the emergence of life on other planets in our Galaxy. However, Earth was not always a water world. In this talk we will explore why the Earth likely formed dry and how it changed into the habitable Blue Planet we have today through a series of special extraterrestrial deliveries of water, from the very big to the very small.
Dr. Luke Daly is a Reader in Planetary Geoscience in the School of Geographical and Earth Sciences at the University of Glasgow. He studies the very small to understand the very big by tearing extraterrestrial rocks apart one atom at a time to learn how our Solar System formed, how asteroids evolve and how habitable worlds are made. He was part of the science team for the Japanese Space Agency's Hayabusa2 mission to bring back rocky soil particles from asteroid Ryugu. He is also the Treasurer of the UK Fireball Alliance that successfully recovered the Winchcombe meteorite in 2021 - The first meteorite fall recovered in the UK for 30 years.
