Curation of Antarctic Meteorite Workshop

AMGC is co-organising an international workshop of the curation of Antarctic meteorites at the Royal Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels (RBINS). This is an opportunity to present the new ~ 1300 meteorites recently collected by joint Belgian and Japanese expeditions (2009 - 2013) in the surroundings of Antarctic Station Princess Elisabeth, in the framework of the SAMBA and BELAM projects financed by BELSPO (more info); for SAMBA project report, click here.

With support of the VUB and ULB, these meteorites are curated at the RBINS, which now possesses one of the largest Antarctic meteorite collection in Europe. The goal of this workshop is to promote the study of these unique samples by the international community.
