Stephen Mojzsis is a tenured Research Professor at the Konkoly Observatory, Origins Research Institute, HUN-REN Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences (CSFK) in Budapest, Hungary. He has more than 30 years of research experience studying the geochemical evolution of the Earth and planets using field-, laboratory- and modelling-based methods, to explore the physical and chemical conditions that yield the planets in the Solar System and beyond. Mojzsis’s research achievements and major discoveries use stable-, radiogenic isotope and trace element geochemistry in mineral chemistry and metamorphic petrology. In this realm he documented ancient protoliths and unlocked records of atmosphere-ocean-crust interactions over geologic time. He also explores numerical and analytical modelling of planet formation, accretion, and how records of these thermal processes are contained in minerals. He is the main driver of a new discipline termed Geoastronomy, which applies Earth-derived knowledge to the origin and evolution of cosmochemically Earth-like planets.
