Dr. Schrader’s research interests concern primitive astromaterials that remain unaltered since their formation in the early Solar System and meteorites that were thermally and aqueously altered on their parent asteroids. He primarily studies carbonaceous chondrites, ordinary chondrites and Hayabusa particles from asteroid Itokawa, but has worked on a range of extraterrestrial materials. His research aims to characterize primitive early Solar System material, determine its variability between meteorite groups, and understand its evolution.
Dr. Schrader utilizes petrographic, chemical, isotopic, and thermodynamic data to constrain the pre-accretionary formation conditions and secondary thermal and aqueous alteration processes of small bodies in the early Solar System. He achieves this by analyzing the chemical and physical properties of primitive carbonaceous chondrites, including the Renazzo-like (CR), Mighei-like (CM), Ornans-like (CO), Vigarano-like (CV), and Ivuna-like (CI) carbonaceous chondrites. He also studies ordinary chondrites, and has worked on Rumuruti-like (R) chondrites, primitive achondrites, and iron meteorites.
Dr. Schrader’s research utilizes advanced sample preparation techniques, such as focused-ion-beam (FIB) lift-out and ultramicrotomy, alongside traditional optical microscopy and state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, including secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), field emission electron probe microanalysis (FE-EPMA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). He also previously provided sample science support for NASA’s OSIRIS-REx asteroid sample return mission as a Science Team Member.
