Congratulations Emel!! Emel successfully completed her internship for lunar project!

Our dearest and brilliant MSc 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.

Europlanet2024-Research Infrastructure awarded our new Moon research collaboration!

PI Dr. Yesilbas will take place as co-I in this project. We will perform the cryogenic-IR measurements of the low hydrated Fe- and Mg-sulphates and collaborate with awesome teams in SETI Institute, NASA Ames Research Center and University of Vienna.

Have you ever wondered why the planets like Mars or a dwarf planet like Ceres has dark streaks and sometimes spheres on the surface? We have an answer: salts.

PI Dr. Yesilbas was invited to give a talk in the Climate Impact -Research Centre (CIRC) Symposium 2022 that was held on Abisko.

PI Dr. Yesilbas gave an interview about her research and academic journey from Turkey to NASA.
