This blog reflects the research interests of the Isotope Cosmochemistry and Geochemistry Group at the University of Manchester. In our laboratories we study samples from comets, interstellar dust, interplanetary dust, Mars, the moon and asteroids to understand how the Earth and the Solar System were formed, how they evolved and became what we see today. We study the Earth and its chemistry to understand how it works, its mantle, crust, oceans and how we change it. We want to share and discuss what we find with everyone.
Much of our research is supported by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), currently Grant ST/V000675/1. Over recent years we have also been supported by Grants ST/R000751/1 and ST/M001253/1.
The blog is for sharing science and what we and other research groups discover as we do science in real time. Discussion, questioning and enquiry are good, but politics, and opinion that can’t be backed up by published scientific work are strictly off-limits and will be removed.

Earth & Solar System 
I’ve taken the liberty of planning a republication of your latest post A Busy Week, due out on Learning from Dogs on the 5th. It’s being republished verbatim with just an introduction from me. Please shout if this is not acceptable and the item will be removed.
No problem! Just include a link to our post and state that the author was Ashley King. Happy blogging!
Thanks Jennifer.
