Introducing Barringer Family Fund Research Grant Recipient Anders Plan

Each year, the Barringer Family Fund awards a small number of competitive grants, in collaboration with the Lunar and Planetary Institute, to support MA, PhD, and postdoctoral students as they carry out field research at known and suspected impact sites around the world. The 2021 grants have been awarded to 7 recipients, their projects are posted on the site in RESEARCH. Anders Plan’s project is titled Zircon phase transformation mechanisms at extreme conditions: nanoscale constraints from FIB, TEM and EBSD analyses, will investigate a suite of uniquely shocked zircons from the ~200 Ma old Rochechouart impact structure in southern France.

Applications for 2022 are due April 8, 2022!
