My Riebe, a postdoctoral associate at DTM, will give a talk titled "Noble Gases in Meteorites as Tracers of Solar System Processes" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, October 13, 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
Riebe received her Ph.D. in cosmochemistry from the Institute of Geochemistry and Petrology in Zürich in 2016. She is interested in the origin and processing of volatile elements in the Solar System. During her Ph.D. research, Riebe studied the effects of various processes on noble gases in meteorites. Most of the so called primordial noble gases, which were incorporated into their carriers either prior to or during the formation of the Solar System, are present in carbonaceous matter in meteorites. A better understanding of the origin of carbonaceous matter will also help our understanding of the origin of primordial noble gases.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
