Dr. Ben McKeeby

As a Planetary Geoscientist and Remote Sensing Specialist, I specialize in analyzing geological features and surface compositions of planetary bodies, with a primary emphasis on utilizing remote sensing data. My research involves interpreting images and spectra gathered from spacecraft and satellites to gain insights into the geological processes, surface evolution, and environmental conditions of celestial bodies, including planets, moons, and asteroids. Specifically, my work focuses on understanding the surface evolution of various celestial bodies, with Mars being a key area of interest. To achieve this, I utilize a diverse array of spectroscopic techniques to investigate the composition, physical properties, and morphology of planetary surfaces. This approach allows for a comprehensive exploration of the geological features and processes shaping these extraterrestrial landscapes.
