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.

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

Tomorrow at 8:55, waterway 5, I will talk about our recent work about at what conditions the farside mantle melted to generate the surface lavas of South Pole-Aitken basin #LPSC2025

What is the origin of the young Chang’e-5 mare basalts? -Tomorrow (Monday) at 2:50 in the #LPSC2025 Waterway 1, I'll present a joint study that reveals the presence of garnet in the young lunar mantle, as a consequence of lunar cumulate mantle overturn.

How did S inventory evolve in the lunar mantle? - Tomorrow (Friday) morning Board 3015 at #AGU24, I'll present a new model designed for lunar fO2, that can calculate the S solubility of silicate melts in equilibrium with sulfides of different metal/sulfur, and its application to the lunar mantle.
