معرفی
Dr. John Pernet-Fisher is a Research Fellow in Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Manchester. His roles include leading postdoctoral research projects on lunar and terrestrial igneous processes. He holds a PhD in Geochemistry from Royal Holloway, University of London (2008-2012), with prior degrees in Geology and Science Communication. His research focuses on planetary mantle evolution, analyzing volcanic rocks from Earth, Moon, and Mars to elucidate geochemical histories.
Key research areas include lunar crustal formation via magma ocean crystallization, metamorphism in ancient lunar crust, and impact histories revealed through meteorite analysis. He has contributed to projects funded by grants from K.H. Joy and L.A. Taylor, investigating mantle plume effects and Siberian lithospheric mantle metasomatism. Collaborations span institutions globally, including work on lunar regolith breccias and Apollo samples.
His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to Earth science exploration. Notable datasets include studies on Apollo 15 basalts, Siberian xenoliths, and lunar meteorites. Research outputs emphasize petrological and geochemical methods, with recent focus on in-situ dating techniques for lunar granites and thermal history modeling of volcanic rocks.
