Profiles in "Planetary Geoscience" Expertise Area

  • I study surface features on Jupiter's icy moon Europa to understand internal processes and assess its potential for habitability. Most of my work centers around geological mapping, image processing, and statistical analyses.
  • Nicole specializes in remote sensing for geological sciences and has been a part of several of ASU's very own space exploration missions!
  • Now a Postdoc at the at SESE/ASU, Hannes Bernhardt did his PhD in Muenster, Germany on the geomorphology of Hellas Planitia, Mars.
  • PhD candidate, Geological Sciences at ASU, studying water–rock interactions and microbial processes in hydrothermal ecosystems by integrating field/lab work, geochemistry, thermodynamic modeling, and microbial sequencing
  • Huff is focused on using remotely sensed data to produce maps. Her study sites range from the seafloor of Santorini Volcano, Greece, to the Athabasca lava flows of Mars.
  • Morris' research explores the microphysical and chemical evolution of airborne particles (e.g. mineral dust) in planetary atmospheres with applications to climate change, air quality, aerobiology, and environmental justice.
  • I am a planetary geophysicist who studies the interior and shallow subsurface of the Moon, Mars, and asteroids. My primary goal is to help us understand how planets form.
