Amanda Mandt

Amanda Mandt is a prominent researcher in the field of planetary science, known for her work on the isotopic composition of water in comets. Recently, she led a research team that proposed a new model explaining how the isotopic ratios of water in comets are influenced by the release of dust particles during the sublimation of surface ice. Her findings emphasize the importance of studying the deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratio in celestial bodies to gain insights into the early conditions of the solar system and the origins of water on Earth.
