New Center research presented at Meteoritical Society Meeting

This July, several members, alumni, and affiliates of the Center for Meteorite Studies presented new findings at the 82nd Annual Meeting of the Meteoritical Society in Sapporo, Japan.

The Center's presentations covered a broad range of topics in meteoritics and cosmochemistry, including water on Mars, aubrites, ureilites, meteorites from the moon, carbonaceous chondrites, and processes in the Early Solar System.
