Rarely use the Mn in the silicate glass then why do we still keep measuring it in the EPMA campaign 🤔

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.

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.

A very interesting paper by Keeley in 2021 Science Advances. They analyzed all Santa Ana Wind (SAW) events and associated fires in Southern California between 1950s and 2020. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
Ignitions explain more than temperature or precipitation in driving Santa Ana wind fires
Temperature and precipitation play less of a role in predicting area burned compared to wind speed and number of ignitions.
