Episode Synopsis

On this week's episode of Space Connect Podcast, host Bella Richards chats to Dr Aaron Cavosie, an American-born geologist, geochemist and planetary scientist.   Dr Cavosie chats about the recent discovery he and his PhD student made from a Mars meteorite sample – that could change what we know about the Red Planet – and the fundamental importance of space geology when it comes to future explorations.    While America is known as the biggest space giant in the world, Dr Cavosie explains why Australia is the place to be as a geologist and planetary scientist.
