Department of the GeoPhysical Sciences. Rebecca Fischer “X-Rays” the Earth. On July 15th, Rebecca Fischer defended her PhD thesis, "Earths accretion, core formation, and core composition." This defense was a culmination of her outstanding work as a graduate student. Fischer, a student of Andy Campbell, has used the departments Laboratory for Mineral Physics. To place bounds on the temperature of the Earths outer core. Place new constraints on the maximum silicon content of the core. Fischer leaves the de...
