It's Tuesday, so it's time to introduce another member of our group! Today we’d like to introduce Romain Tartese, a Research Fellow: “I have been a Research Fellow at the University of Manchester since 2017, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council. I thus do research most of the time, notably trying to address important questions about the volatile inventory of planetary bodies in the Solar System. Such questions include, for example, a better understanding of the origin of water in the Solar System, of how and when it was delivered to rocky planets, and of the processes controlling interactions between planetary interiors, surfaces and atmospheres. As a geologist, I love doing fieldwork, and I have been lucky to be able to participate in meteorite recovery expeditions to the Atacama Desert in Chile, and to Antarctica at the end of 2019 with the first British meteorite recovery programme.” . You can follow Romain @romichneder or visit his personal website at https://drromaintartese.wordpress.com/. . #geology #geologyrocks #space #spacerocks #meteorite #meteoritehunt #atacama #desert #antarctica #ukantarcticmeteorites #science #fieldwork #scientist #solarsystem #manchester #mcr #university #uomHappy birthday to our research group podcast, The Cosmic Cast 🌚🎉 . Over the past year, we've made 40 episodes talking to different researchers from Manchester, the Open University, Cambridge, Glasgow, and many other universities. We've also had the pleasure of speaking to people from ESA and NASA! 🚀 Thanks to everyone who has listened over the past year. If you'd like to check out the podcast, we're on YouTube and Spotify - just search for The Cosmic Cast! . #science #research #podcast #space #spacerocks #geology #geologyrocks #esa #nasa #youtube #spotify #PhD #university #uom #manchester #mcr #outreach #thecosmiccastToday’s #thinsectionthursday comes courtesy of an alpine schist. These beautiful garnets (which go black in cross-polarised light due to their isotropic nature) exhibit curved inclusion trails which indicate that they formed with the metamorphic fabric around them (highlighted by the pale crystals in the first picture that are brightly colourful in the second). These minerals capture a beautiful record of the intense shear and stress that these rocks underwent during structural deformation in the Alps! 🏔🏔🏔 . #geology #mineral #crystal #geologyrocks #science #earthscience #rocks #rock #stem #uni #scientistLast week we started to introduce some of the wonderful members of our research group. We're going to continue with that, and introduce someone new each week! ☄️ . Today we'd like to introduce David Neave, a Presidential Fellow: “I use the chemistry and mineralogy of volcanic rocks and high-pressure, high-temperature experiments to study how magmas form and evolve before they erupt from volcanoes. This kind of work helps us to understand the behaviour of active and potentially hazardous volcanoes as well as how the Earth's deep interior affects its surface environments and ability to sustain life. I joined the University of Manchester as a Presidential Fellow in January 2019 after working in Germany for a few years. I'm thrilled to take on the challenges of building a facility to study magma in the lab and sharing my wonder at our planet with new generations of Earth scientists.” .
