Frédéric Moynier is a member of the Cosmochemistry, Astrophysics and Experimental Geophysics (CAGE) team at the IPGP. He develops and uses high-precision isotope measurements on extraterrestrial samples to study the formation and differentiation of telluric planets. In particular, his work on the stable isotopes of metals such as Zn and Cu led to the first isotopic evidence of the origin of the volatile evaporation depletion of the Moon, when it was completely melted following its formation in a giant impact on the Earth. These isotopic measurements have now become a reference for studying the origin of volatile elements in the various bodies of the Solar System.
« I am extremely honoured by this distinction, while at the same time aware of the humility that comes with joining the ranks of the most eminent scientists who have shaped the sciences of the Earth and the Universe. »
Frédéric Moynier
