Cesca Willcocks

PhD Researcher, University of Leicester

Cesca is a geologist who spends her time looking at minerals in meteorites from rocky bodies within our Solar System and comparing them to lavas on Earth, in a search to find good terrestrial analogues for extra-terrestrial lavas.

Cesca completed her ResM in Planetary Geoscience with Space Rocks in 2021!
