About this listen

New research from Curtin University and published in Physical Review Research, has found that the chemistry of zircons found in Earth’s crust contained a geological archive of Earth’s interaction with the Milky Way.

To learn more about these findings and how this new line of research connects geology and astrophysics, we caught up with lead study author Professor Chris Kirkland.

For anyone interested in the study, it can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1103/98c3-d9j2
