More on the recent success of the @belspo ULTIMO Antarctic expedition is also reported in @destandaard! Indeed, the success is not only within the large number of astromaterials collected, but also their large diversity! ☄️(In Dutch)

First blog post on our next Antarctic adventure, let's go! @AMGC_VUB @AMGC_FLUX_Team @vdebaille @pourkhorsandi https://t.co/ED54zOsTyI

Research teams from the @ULBruxelles and @VUBrussel have begun their trip to Antarctica and are excited to get back to work on the ice! There are two big research projects that these teams will be focusing on: ULTIMO and FROID 🧊☄️Follow link to learn more https://t.co/kaeINabI9Q

Scientists have pinpointed the origin and composition of the asteroid that caused the mass extinction 66 million years ago, revealing it was a rare carbonaceous asteroid from beyond Jupiter, according to a new study in Science. 📄: https://t.co/lAIdom8IcQ

In a new paper in Science, @VUBrussel scientists from @AMGC_VUB research lab helped fingerprint the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs:

New evidence points to the giant space rock that killed the dinosaurs being a carbonaceous chondrite, an ancient and rare type of meteorite. By me for @NewsfromScience https://t.co/frndr3xYil

#MetSoc2024 Group picture of participants to Curation Workshop with the Iguanodon of Natural Science Institute #Brussels #Belgium Thanks to presenters, attendees, chairs, organizers and @nat_sciences_be !😊👍 Back for last talks on regulations for extraterrestrial samples

Preparations for @MetSoc2024 are in full swing! #conferencegoodies @JeanGui17 @vdebaille

Huilin Jin, a current member of our team, has been doing great work extracting fossil micrometeorites from rocks dating hundreds of millions of years! These "grains", although tiny, could provide large amounts of knowledge on the Earth’s ancient dusty interplanetary environment!

One more week to apply... 💫✨

Thanks to everyone who submitted an abstract! It looks like we'll have a great #MetSoc2024 edition in a little more than 2 months. Looking forward to seeing you all in Brussels!

Don't forget to submit your abstract for MetSoc 2024! Abstract deadline: May 14, 2024, 5:00 p.m. U.S. Central Daylight Time (GMT -5).

📢 Job opportunity! Several PhD positions available at the @AMGC_VUB research group of the @VUBrussel on #ERC Consolidator Grant project FLUX to work with me on fossil micrometeorites ☄️ Deadline 07/06/202 Details on the European Association of Geochemistry job page.

What do meteorites have to do with climate change? @VeroTollenaar, @HarryZeko et al show that ~5,000 meteorties become inaccessible per year as they melt into the Antarctic due to climate change https://t.co/bJAtAcyV5R

Abstract submission to the 2024 Meteoritical Society meeting open now. I look forward to seeing you all in Brussels!

Abstract submission for #MetSoc2024 will open April 1, 2024! #PlanetarySciences #Meteorites #Asteroids #Comets #ImpactCraters #SolarSystem #Planets #EarthSciences Learn more:
