An Imperial researcher talks about meteorites, their life-giving gases, and exo-planets in an audio interview.
Dr Richard Court, from the Department of Earth Science and Engineering, discusses his research on meteorites and how they can deliver important gases to kick-start life on planets. He also explains how they can release gases that can give off misleading signals to scientists searching for signs of life on distant worlds.
Listen to Dr Court’s audio interview (below).
