Congratulations to ISSI Johannes Geiss Fellow 2026 Claire Nichols

ISSI warmly congratulates Claire Nichols, ISSI Johannes Geiss Fellow 2026, on the publication of her new paper in Nature Geoscience: “An intermittent dynamo linked to high-titanium volcanism on the Moon.”

The study, led from the University of Oxford and based on analyses of samples returned by the Apollo program, resolves a decades-long debate about the strength of the Moon’s ancient magnetic field.
