Hello everyone!
As part of my ongoing project, Geoscientists' Voices (supported by the AGU Voices for Science program), I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Prof. Christian Koeberl from the University of Vienna, Austria. As a world-renowned geochemist and cosmochemist, Christian is a leading authority on impact cratering and the dynamics of global planetary defense.

In our conversation, Christian shares his academic journey from the Apollo spark to directing the Natural History Museum Vienna. We dive into geochemical fingerprinting of ancient asteroid impacts, the Apophis 2029 countdown, and why we must evaluate deep time with caution when defining geological epochs. He also pulls back the curtain on managing world-class institutions, offering crucial wisdom on public science communication and fundamental research without borders.
