[meteorite-list] Degrees in Meteoritics

[Chris Peterson]

Physics. Lots of physics. Some schools have geology programs that are 
focused more on geomorphology and geologic processes, and some more on 
mineralogy. The latter is more useful for a meteoriticist. Look for a 
geology program that emphasizes the physics and chemistry more than 
classification. And some good astronomy courses can't hurt, either. They're 
rocks, but they're rocks from space!
