Hello and welcome!

Hey there! My name is Hong Yang, and I'm a mineral physicist on a mission to uncover the secrets of deep Earth and planets. From noble gas molecules stored within planet interiors to the effects of meteoric impacts on celestial surfaces, I'm fascinated by the many mysteries that lie within our universe.

As a mineral physicist, I specialize in understanding how extreme conditions can alter the minerals and oxidation states of multivalent elements. I'm particularly interested in studying the impact events that occur on planets and how these events change the planet's surface. Recently, I've had the pleasure of working on some IODP samples from Walvis Ridge, where I'm reconstructing the plate tectonics history of this area. It's been an exciting journey so far, and I'm looking forward to sharing my findings with you.

Who knew that something as simple as a rock could tell us so much about the universe? Join me on my journey as I explore the depths of our planet and beyond. With any luck, we might just uncover some of the universe's greatest secrets together. Stay tuned for more exciting discoveries, and let's see where this journey takes us!
