Ann-Cathrin Krause succesfully completed her Master project!
Congratulations Ann-Cathrin!!
Our dearest and brilliant MS.c student, Ann-Cathrin, successfully completed her Master project. She studied complex sulphate-Cl salt mixture formation in Martian analogue Fe-rich nontronite clay minerals at Mars-like temperatures using Raman spectroscopy. Ann-Cathrin explored the fascinating chemistry of brines that can be preserved in nontronite clays at low temperatures. These results are important to understand the aqueous history and habitability of Mars, as well as to reveal potential resources for future human missions to the Red Planet.
Thanks, Ann-Cathrin, for your devoted work on this topic! We wish you the best of luck in your Master's studies at the University of Leipzig!
