National Institute of Polar Research International Internship granted to Ryoga Maeda

In the framework of this project Ryoga Maeda will work with Dr. Akira Yamaguchi and carry out electron microprobe analyses and other techniques to better document the effect of planetary processes on the Lu-Hf and Sm-Nd isotope systems and the distribution of rare earth elements within minerals in meteorites. Ryoga is currently PhD student working with Prof. Steven Goderis on the EOS FWO-FNRS Excellence in Science project ET-Home.
