Conceptually yes! But we would need to think about what phases are in the interior of Io, solid or gas etc
#Mercury is unusually S-rich. Could #sulfur play a role similar to #volatiles on Earth in shaping melt generation and differentiation?
Here, Raj and I combine spectros and expts to show how S dissolves in Mercurian melts affects Mercury’s interior evolution.

We are excited to annouce both our returning and new IAVCEI ECR-Net Working Group officers (2/3)!
Stay tuned for updates, events, and opportunities ahead 🌋!

Nice to see you in person Nick!!
What happened if a planet has weight-percent-level S in the mantle melts and how such large amounts of S affect melt generation in reduced planet like Mercury? Stop by my poster tomorrow morning at V21B-0069 and let’s chat! #AGU2025
Next Monday @riceuniversity.bsky.social we have a panel discussion on the geopolitics of critical minerals for the energy transition. Geology does not distribute natural resources fairly. This leads to a complex web of trade and geopolitical tensions.

We r having a panel discussion on critical minerals Dec 8 @riceuniversity.bsky.social in conjunction with the French Consulate of Houston.
Find our new model to calculate post entrapment crystallization of melt inclusions @kuleuvenuniversity.bsky.social

w/ Oli Shorttle, @johannateske.bsky.social & Eliza Kempton we reviewed our current understanding and prospects for peaking on the inside of small #exoplanets in "Constraining exoplanet interiors using observations of their atmospheres": www.science.org/stoken/autho... & arxiv.org/abs/2510.08844 🔭🧪⚒️☄️
🚨 NEW EPISODE OUT! 🚨 It's time to talk scientific illustration in the world of volcanoes and geology with @geologytalk.bsky.social , Annabelle Foster!
Full episode available to watch or listen now! (Link in bio)

Some facts: as a postdoc, I haven't started my research career yet 😂
#postdoc
Lab made lunar analogs, the color matches really well with the lunar soil

Going to conferences as a postdoc: 3x the cost, 1/3xxx the travel grant opportunities.

Hi all, especially ECRs! My Department is hiring a Visiting Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Geoscience.
We are a small liberal arts college with a small but engaged geo department. Looking to interview and hire immediately. Please apply! ⚒️

Cool opal collection here at Jackson school of geosciences at UT Austin

I see! I often see people use it in olivine as ratios with other elements as well. We do good calibration for Mn, no worries! :)
Rarely use the Mn in the silicate glass then why do we still keep measuring it in the EPMA campaign 🤔
These two are classic!
A nice visit to UK and catch up with old and new friends. Finally back to H-town tomorrow!
Want to know the lunar sulfur evolution from Apollo to Chang’e-5 mantle? Check out our new GCA paper! A new sulfur content at sulfide saturation (SCSS) model is also attached that is suitable for sulfides with variable metal-sulfur ratio.

I thought yesterday was the last day of LPSC 🥲
👀I still like the idea of explaining your paper in a thread, bsky seems have more words too
If you missed my talk, here is the thread of the paper
bsky.app/profile/yish...
Many knowns and unknowns, but we believe once we know more about the farside samples, our hypothesis can be tested and refined!
We also thank the reviews from @sarahlambart.bsky.social and @drjbbalta.bsky.social that significantly improved the paper 5/5
We find that depending on mantle comps, melting conditions vary. But under the same assumps, farside mantle melted in a shallower and cooler place, this may suggest melting happened in a thinner lithosphere and contri to crustal dichotomy by a greater extent of decompression melting 4/5
Therefore we build a framework in anticipation of CE6 mission, we reconstruct the mantle melting conditions to generate these farside lavas by using remote sensing data. In particular, we wonder if melting in both sides are different and may contribute to the crustal dichotomy 3/5
South Pole-Aitken basin (SPA) is the window to study farside magmatism, perhaps in particular may answer the puzzle of lunar dichotomy of crustal thickness and composition. The recent Chang’E 6 mission just returned the farside samples from Apollo basin within the SPA 2/5
Where and how the lavas in farside South Pole were generated? In this work led by Rice Uni, together with Raj Dasgupta @dianji.bsky.social @cintylee.bsky.social and collaborators, we explore the possibilities with a petrological approach 1/5
