thumb|Hasnaa Hasnaa Chennaoui Hasnaa Chennaoui Aoudjehane is a Moroccan scientist born in 1964 in Casablanca, Morocco. She is a Moroccan scientist specializing in meteorites, planetary sciences and geochemistry. Quotes I didn’t like these designations that erase the origin of the rocks. Today, more than ten PhD students are working on topics such as meteorites, impact craters, and planetary surfaces, developing significant expertise in these areas. The main challenge to the development of this field in Morocco is the lack of sophisticated analytical equipment, and the scarcity of academic and research positions in the country. I put Morocco on the meteor research map. Morocco’s vast, sparsely populated desert and the presence of hunters and nomads who recognize the value of meteorites have made the country famous for their abundance. However, due to the lack of regulations restricting the export of meteorites and other geoheritage items like fossils and minerals, many were sold and taken abroad.
