Description
Event details
This lecture will be comprised of two parts. To begin, we will play a recording of the Geological Society’s 28th William Smith Lecture, titled ‘Apollo and the Geology of the Moon’, originally presented by Dr Harrison Schmitt in December 1973. Dr Schmitt was part of the three-person crew of Apollo 17 that launched on 7 December 1972, returning to Earth on 19 December. Apollo 17 was the final of NASA’s manned lunar landing missions and therefore Schmitt remains the first and only geologist ever to walk on the Moon.
Once the recording has concluded, Dr Giulia Magnarini will give a talk titled ‘From Apollo to Artemis: paving the way to the next giant leap in lunar exploration’.
Although more than 50 years have passed since the last Apollo mission to the Moon, the scientific legacy of the Apollo programme long lives to present days, providing ground truth to a new understanding of the Moon that opened thanks to more recent, robotic orbital and ground observations.
Moreover, thanks to the NASA ANGSA program, unopened Apollo 17 samples were analysed using new analytical instrumentation previously unavailable during the Apollo Program, revealing new information about lunar history and evolution. The ANGSA initiative also operates as generational handoff from Apollo to Artemis, preparing lunar scientists and sample curators to inform future lunar exploration through the Artemis program.
Speaker
Giulia is a postdoctoral researcher at the Natural History Museum in London, where she works on surface processes in the Solar System. Her current research concerns the use of secondary impact craters as stratigraphic markers to constrain the timing of geological processes on Mars, the Moon, Mercury, and Europa.
She also continues studying long runout landslides across the Solar System, the topic of her PhD at UCL, for which she combines remote sensing techniques, field work, and laboratory experiments.
Giulia is also involved with the NASA Apollo Next Generation Sample Analysis (ANGSA) program, studying a newly opened Apollo 17 sample that was collected from a lunar landslide deposit during the Apollo 17 mission.
