About the Event
About Dr Ben Rider-Stokes
Ben is currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Physical Sciences at The Open University. His research focuses on understanding the formation and evolution of the planets, asteroids, and moons in the Solar System. He is specifically addressing the timing of impact mixing, magmatic differentiation, and volatile accretion of achondrites, meteorites that have come from asteroids that experienced thermal processes less than 20 million years after Solar System formation.
