Planetary Groups in the East of England
University of Cambridge
Two researchers, James Bryson and Richard Harrison, lead the meteorite research being conducted at the University of Cambridge. Our work focuses on the magnetism and microstructures found in meteorites. We have conducted experimental studies on pallasites, various iron meteorites and a range of carbonaceous chondrites as well as running advanced models of asteroid thermal evolution.
Our research includes:
- Asteroid dynamo evolution
- Asteroid accretion and differentiation
- Meteorite microstructure formation and evolution
- Early behaviour of our nebula and planetary migrations
- Asteroid aqueous alteration
- Hadean and Archean Earth
Our facilities include:
Vibrating sample magnetometry, scanning magnetic microscopy, advanced scanning electron microscopy techniques (QEMSCAN and EBSD), access to advanced transmission electron microscopy.
