Dr. Catherine Johnson's research encompasses a variety of geophysical studies of Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon and Mars. Most of her work focuses on modeling and interpretation of geophysical data sets: global and regional topography, gravity, and magnetic data, and (lunar) seismic data. The common goal of these investigations is to understand the internal structure and the long-term evolution of these bodies.
