I am a Research Scientist with the Planetary Geosciences Group at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona, where I study the geology of the planet Mars.

 

I received my Master of Science degree in Geosciences from the University of Arizona in December 2003, under the direction of Dr. Victor R. Baker. My thesis was entitled "Hillside gullies and possible glacial landforms associated with the degradation of highland craters on Mars".

 

I graduated from the University of Michigan in May 1998 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Astronomy and Astrophysics.

 

RESEARCH INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES:

Planetary geology, fluvial and glacial geomorphology, photogeologic interpretation and image processing, chronologic interpretations via crater counting, and crater evolution based on morphologies and degradational states.

 

Current research projects: Refining Martian Ages and Understanding Geological Processes from Cratering Statistics; Martian Highland Volcanoes: Studies of Volcanic and Degradation Histories from High-Resolution Images and Impact Crater Populations; Testing the Hypothesis of Young Martian Volcanism; Investigations of Ice-Driven Degradation Styles on Mars.
