Prof Andy Tomkins

Professor of Earth & Planetary Sciences, Monash University

Andy is a geochemist and petrologist who uses meteorites to investigate the investigate the formation of asteroids at the beginning of the Solar System's history, and the evolution of Mars. He also uses micrometeorites to investigate the past atmospheres of Earth and Mars.
