Project Description
The research project is to better understand carbon cycling in ocean worlds like Ceres or Enceladus, and their potential for habitability. The work is to create and investigate ocean world simulants using various (chloride and carbonate) salts and organic molecules in a wet-chemistry lab. The aim is to observe growth of crystals, changes in pH during crystal growth, and quantify entrainment rates of organics within the crystal.
