Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

In summary, the technical and scientific challenges within this project have been quite diverse, but we could still contribute to our understanding of the isotopic and molecular constitution of meteoritic OM and its complex evolution. These investigations have been important to distinguish formation environments for isotopically anomalous OM by fluid-induced processes. They also helped to understand their importance for the prebiotic chemistry of the early Earth.
