Exploration  C.V. :   My research has focused on the
investigation of the processes that have formed the crust and
regolith of the Moon, Mars, and Earth analogs. This has been
primarily through the use of infrared and visible spectral and
imaging data returned from orbiting spacecraft and landers. I
have worked directly with the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal
Emission Spectrometer, 2001 Mars Odyssey Thermal Emission
Imaging System, Mars Exploration Rovers Miniature Thermal
Emission Spectrometers, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Mars Climate
Sounder, and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Diviner Radiometer
instrument investigations.  Determining present and past
environments on planetary surfaces is often relevent to
astrobiology. With increasingly sophisticated measurements being
returned from spacecraft, we've been able to move beyond
