Rb-Sr Radiometric Dating of Rocky Planetary Bodies via LA-ICPMS
(2021)Constraining ages of surface features on rocky objects in the Solar System provides fundamental insights about the flux of impactors through time (including the putative Late Heavy Bombardment), rates of tectonic and ... -
DEFORMATION AND FAILURE OF LUNAR LAVA TUBES
(2021)Lava tubes are long void spaces left by lava flows. Terrestrial tubes have been extensively studied. Evidence indicates lunar tubes also exist, potentially ideal environments for lunar exploration, habitation, and study. ... -
Geophysical Exploration of Terrestrial and Lunar Volcanic Fields
(2021)Planetary analogs are environments representative of current or past conditions on other planetary bodies. My research uses terrestrial volcanic fields as lunar analogs to conduct geophysical studies on the subsurface ... -
CHARACTERIZING THE DURATION, PERIODICITY AND CHEMICAL IMPACT OF FLUID TRANSPORT IN THE SUBDUCTING SLAB: INSIGHTS FROM ISOTOPE GEOCHEMISTRY OF HIGH-PRESSURE METAMORPHOSED OCEANIC CRUST
(2021)Subduction zones are key loci of geochemical cycling and natural hazards on Earth including large earthquakes and explosive volcanic eruptions. Fluids produced during subduction are thought to play a role in all these ... -
Inference of Mass Anomalies in Planetary Interiors Using a Bayesian Global Gravity Field Inversion
(2020)Knowledge about the interior density distribution of a planetary body can constraingeophysical processes and reveal information about the origin and evolution of the body. Properties of this interior distribution can be ...
