Introducing Barringer Family Fund Research Grant Recipient Nicolas Garroni

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. Nicolas Garroni’s Project is to discover whether shock metamorphism truly is preserved and distinguishable within the crystal lattice of natural calcite and/or dolomite using XRD.

Applications for 2022 are due April 8, 2022!
