Jonathan Tucker, a DCO postdoctoral fellow at DTM, will give a talk titled "Mantle heterogeneity, giant impacts, and the origin of Earth's volatiles" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 2, 2017, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
Tucker received his Ph.D. in Earth and planetary science from Harvard University in 2016. His research interests involve using volatile elements and compounds to understand the planetary-scale evolution of the Earth. By measuring and modeling the isotopic compositions volatiles, his research seeks to understand the processes occurring during the Earth's formation and 4.5 billion year history.
Coffee, tea, and a light breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
