CLEVER Planets

On May 3rd, @RiceEarthSci , @RiceU_STEM, @RiceSpace Center for Planetary Origins to Habitability organized a 'first-of-its-kind' Open House event. An wide array of Earth and planetary displays and activities to expose the new generation of explorers. news.rice.edu/news/2025/rice…

Where and how the lavas in lunar farside South Pole were generated? In this work led by @RiceEarthSci, together with @rdasgupta_earth @DianJi2 @CinTyLeeEarth and collaborators, we explore the possibilities with a petrological approach 1/5 agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Want to know the lunar S evolution from Apollo to Chang’e-5 mantle? Check out our new GCA paper with @rdasgupta_earth! A new sulfur content at sulfide saturation (SCSS) model is also attached that is suitable for sulfides with variable metal-sulfur ratio. doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.…

We are launching an ambitious program on Earth, planetary, and space sciences designed for K-12 students and teachers from the Houston area schools. See below how to engage. @RiceEarthSci @RiceU_STEM @RiceNatSci.

The Center for Planetary Origins to Habitability of @RiceSpace @RiceUniversity has opened its annual post-doc fellowship competition. The application deadline is Feb 15, 2025. Please RT to spread the word.🌕🌎🔬🦠🪐🌋☄️ emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

How did S inventory evolve in the lunar mantle? - Tomorrow (Friday) morning Board 3015 at #AGU24, I'll present a new model designed with @rdasgupta_earth for lunar fO2, that can calculate the S solubility of silicate melts in equilibrium with sulfides of different metal/sulfur.

EEPS IS HIRING! Pan Postdoctoral Fellowship (applications due 1 November) Tenure-track faculty in Environmental earth Science (applications due 1 December) Visit EEPS.rice.edu for more information.

The department of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences @RiceEarthSci, @RiceNatSci has opened its Pan post-doctoral fellowship competition for this year. Help us spread the word to the potential candidates. 🌋🌕🌎🪐☄️ eeps.rice.edu/eeps-job-oppor…

The newly established Center for Planet Formation, Evolution, and Habitability of Rice Space Institute, @RiceUniversity is seeking a post-doctoral fellow. Help us spread the word. ☄️🌋🌕🌍🪐 Application deadline: April 15, 2024 emdz.fa.us2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

Very excited to host Morby today and tomorrow @RiceEarthSci as speaker of our seminar series! @RiceNatSci

Congratulations to @RiceEarthSci, #ExPeRT PhD student Aindrila Pal (not on this platform) for winning a @NASA FINNEST grant. Aindrila will be studying the fate of nitrogen during early silicate differentiation of rocky planets. 🌋🌕🌍 news.rice.edu/news/2023/rice…

🚨🪐Postdoc position in Planet Formation🪐🚨 I am looking for a postdoc in planet formation and evolution modeling to join my group @RiceEarthSci. Please, share this announcement with potential candidates and DM me if you want to know more.

Congratulations to former @CLEVER_Planets post-doc, @izidoro_astro for his new appointment as an assistant professor @RiceEarthSci, starting this month. Follow André and his exciting science on planet formation - Solar System and beyond! #planetaryscience andreizidoro.com

🚨New position alert: We are looking for a new post-doc researcher in experimental petrology/ high-T geochemistry @RiceEarthSci. Please spread the word and draw attention to the relevant candidates. DM me if you want to discuss.🌋☄️🌕🪐🌍

I am looking for a post-doctoral researcher in the field of experimental petrology and high-T geochemistry @RiceEarthSci. A formal advertisement will be posted in the near future. Please spread the word. DM/email me to know more. I will be available to chat @goldschmidt2023. 🌋☄️

New paper from our very own Duncan Keller, a post-doc researcher @RiceEarthSci; linkage between subduction of banded iron formations and large igneous province volcanism; implications for surface evolution and interior processes connection. @PCE3_Sci @nexssinfo

If you work in the field of geochemistry and cosmochemistry, this is relevant for you. Please weigh in and give your input and suggestions. #geochemistry

New estimates of Earth's deep mantle carbon budget! Important for assessing the origin of life-essential volatiles on Earth, Earth's long-term habitability. @nexssinfo @NExSSManyWorlds @astrobiology @PCE3_Sci @NASAAstrobio

📢In a new OA @AAS_PSJ paper, @RiceEarthSci @CLEVER_Planets post-doc Maxime Maurice, @turbulentjet & I explore the effects of thermal and redox evolution of the deep, terrestrial magma ocean (MO) on the compositional evolution of the outgassed atm. doi.org/10.3847/PSJ/ac… 1/5 🧵

📢New paper alert: Our adventures with life-essential volatile elements - C & N - in magma oceans (MOs) continue - a study led by Yuan Li of Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry. New high P-T experiments at shallow MOs tracking C-N fractionation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
