Research Interests:
Planetary lithosphere and surface processes,
including studies of the Earth, Mars, Venus, the Moon, and outer planet
satellites. Geology of Mars, especially using Mars Global Surveyor and Mars
Odyssey datasets for such activities as studies of Martian impact craters, fluvial
and tectonic features, and volcanic landforms as well as geologic mapping and
Martian chronology studies. Evolution of the surface of Venus utilizing
Magellan datasets (synthetic aperture radar, altimetry, gravity, and
emmisivity) for geologic and structural mapping and relative-timing
determinations in attempts to constrain the geologic and thermal history of the
planet.
Education and Public Outreach:
Participate in existing PSI education and
public outreach programs, as well as develop and participate in new E/PO
activities through out the southwest (including collaborative efforts with David Levy at Jarnac Observatory, the Challenger Learning Center of
the Southwest, the Flandrau Science
Center, and the Lunar and
Planetary Lab).
