Research Interests:
Planetary geology, Space resources, Education and public outreach
Current
Projects:
Geochemical Mapping of the Moon and Mars- With Jeff Taylor, we are making multivariate classification maps of element concentrations on Mars (using Mars Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer data ) and on the Moon (using Lunar Prospector data) to understand the surfaces and geological evolution of these bodies.
Differentiation and Resource Potential of the Moon - With Jeff Taylor, we are researching the nature and distribution of evolved lunar rocks, how they formed, and their potential as ore bodies. This work involves detailed sample analyses and remote sensing studies.
Education and Public Outreach - Writer and web designer for Planetary Science Research Discoveries educational journal, the Hawaii Space Grant Consortium, and other NASA-funded programs in remote sensing and cosmochemistry.
- NASA Publication Exploring the Moon: A Teacher's Guide with Activities for Earth and Space Sciences (EG-1997-10-116-HQ).
- Outreach projects to help advance the public's understanding of planetary science and space resource utilization.
- I have also been involved in the development of hands-on science activities for K-12 classrooms and have helped conduct teacher training workshops in planetary geology.
