Title: Analysis of Fluid Inclusions in Astromaterials: Why, Where, and How
Lecturer: Dr. Michael Zolensky; NASA Johnson Space Center

Aqueous fluid inclusions in meteorites and other astromaterials can provide fundamental information related to the location and timing of aqueous alteration in the solar system, and the detailed nature of the aqueous fluids themselves. Microanalytical techniques are finally at the level where such studies are possible. I will describe where we are now with this research and where we are going.
