Frédéric Moynier

Assistant Professor
Ph.D., École Normale Supérieure de Lyon, 2006

Isotope Geochemistry, Magmatism and Tectonics

Professor Moynier measures the isotopic compositions of terrestrial, lunar and meteoritic materials to understand 1) the chronology of the first million years of the Solar System, 2) the physical and chemical processes which have modified these materials, and 3) the nucleosynthesis and the stellar environments at the birth of our Solar System. To reach this goal, he uses high precision mass spectrometry associated with chemical purifications in ultra-clean chemistry lab.
