Alok Jha talks to meteorite-hunter Katherine Joy to discover why the icy continent is one of the best places on Earth to find them. Professor Katherine Joy is a Professor of Lunar and Planetary Sciences at the University of Manchester. She received her PhD in 2007 at UCL, before taking up post-doc positions at Birkbeck College and the Lunar and Planetary Institute/NASA Johnson Space Center, and then a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship and a Royal Society University Fellowship at The University of Manchester. Katherine studies different types of lunar samples to understand how the Moon has geologically evolved through time and how it is a recorder of Solar System processes. She is a member of the Artemis III Geology Team and is involved in science teams for the ESA PROSPECT and DIMPLE lunar experiments. She also co-led the first UK team working with the British Antarctic Survey to recover meteorite samples from Antarctica. 🇦🇶 FIND OUT MORE 🇦🇶 https://ukaht.org/discover/listen/ 🐧 ADOPT A PENGUIN 🐧 https://www.ukaht.org/shop/adopt-a-penguin 📣 SUBSCRIBE 📣 https://bit.ly/UKAHT-YouTube 🎯 FOLLOW US 🎯 ✩ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ukantarcticheritagetrust ✩ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UKAntarcticHeritageTrust ✩ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AntarcticHT ✩ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ukantarcticheritagetrust
