About the research

How did planetary crusts and cores form and interact to produce observed volcanic and geochemical signatures?

Read the full research overview

Kelsey Prissel’s group conducts high-temperature and high-pressure laboratory experiments and isotopic analyses to recreate planetary differentiation processes. They perform geochemical modeling of elemental diffusion, isotopic fractionation, and magma crystallization to interpret experimental results. Petrographic characterization of lunar, meteorite, and terrestrial samples supports synthesis of ground-truth materials for remote sensing. The group also participates in analog mission and field campaigns to prepare instruments and materials for planetary surface exploration.
