The physical properties of our planet are intricately tied to the sequence of giant impact events that led to the formation of the Moon.
The canonical giant impact model for lunar origin has been called into question by recent geochemical measurements of lunar rocks.
Professor Stewart will present a new model for the origin of the Earth and Moon that reconciles the observations and highlights the importance of stochastic early events in shaping our habitable world.
Professor Sarah Stewart is a planetary scientist who specializes in the study of collisions in the solar system.
Her research encompasses experimental and numerical investigations of the formation and destruction of planets, planetary geology, and the physical properties of planetary materials.
