Seminar: Micrometeorites: Understanding the fastest dust on the planet
26/10/2016 - 12:30
Dr. Matt Genge
Abstract: "Micrometeorites are extraterrestrial dust particles that survive atmospheric entry to be recovered from the Earth's surface. These particles are the fastest dust on Earth, experiencing velocities of more than 11 km/s. Combining observations of real micrometeorites with numerical models of atmospheric entry helps us understand their formation."
The talk will be held on Wednesday, 26 October, at 12:30, in Building D, Room 5.236. We look forward to seeing you there!
