Pierre Beck’s science

 
 

Associate professor at IPAG in the Solar System team, teaching Earth. I was trained as a geologist at ENS Lyon and I am now doing and teaching Planetary Sciences. My research is focussed on the mineralogy of extra-terrestrial materials (meteorites) and surfaces (rocky and icy).  My  tool is primary infrared spectroscopy and please take a look at our laboratory facility.
