Miura Lab (Isotope Earth and Planetary Science)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab traces the histories of planets and meteorites through isotope analysis.
AboutAbout the lab
The history of planets and meteorites, read through isotopes
The Miura Lab studies isotopic Earth and planetary science in the Division of Materials Science at the Earthquake Research Institute.
Based on isotope analysis, the lab investigates how the Earth, other planets, and the parent bodies of meteorites have evolved.
Using noble gases and chronology as clues, the lab works with material from outside the Earth, such as meteorites and asteroids.
Key terms
- Isotope
- Atoms of the same element that differ only in mass. Examining their ratios reveals the origin and age of a material.
- Noble gas
- Gaseous elements, such as helium, neon, and argon, that hardly react with other substances.
- Parent body
- The large body, such as an asteroid, to which a meteorite originally belonged.
