About this Event

The return of samples from known locations on the Moon during the Apollo program resulted in the development of new geologic paradigms to interpret the data. Although the rocks were returned over 50 years ago, they continue to be mined for geologic information due to the advent of new analytical tools. Multiple geologic paradigms were developed as a result of Apollo observations that fundamentally changed our understanding of planetary formation and evolution. New scientific questions have arisen in the years since which require additional exploration and sample return to be accomplished during the Artemis missions. Dr. Molly McCanta will present information regarding lunar geology, geologic discoveries of the Apollo program, and what future geochemical exploration holds.

Dr. Molly McCanta is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ear
