Research Interests
Lunar geology, volcanology, crustal composition, and remote sensing
Current
Projects
I use a combination of sample analysis, remote sensing, and
photogeology to address problems in lunar science. My most recent work
includes studying the origin and geologic evolution of volcanism on the
Moon. To this
end I examine and classify basalt deposits (maria) by multiple
criteria,
some of which include age, geologic setting, morphology, distribution,
thickness, volume, spectral characteristics, and composition. I am
particularly
interested in understanding causes of the global dichotomy in
distribution
and composition between mare basalts on the far side versus those on
the
near side of the Moon.
