ELISABETH LOSA ADAMS

Elisabeth Losa-Adams

Scientist with a strong interest in Mineralogy, Geochemistry and Paleoclimate, who explores the past of the planets through the study of the fingerprints in the ancient sediments/rocks that provide information about the geochemical environment at the time the minerals formed.
