Detecting minerals and determining their compositions is fundamental for reconstructing thermal and chemical evolution of the lunar crust. Estimating Mg-Fe composition of mafic minerals and …
The nature of the early martian climate, hydrological cycle, and their relationship to the impact cratering process has remained enigmatic, but are critically important in …
Stress-reduction, creep, grain-growth, and attenuation experiments were conducted on polycrystalline water ice to examine the links amongst microstructural steady-state, the mechanical response to transient loading, …
This work is perhaps the first major study integrating mineralogical and morphological properties of lunar impact melt deposits using the new generation remote sensing data. …
A suite of lunar materials is examined with reflectance spectroscopy. Reflectance spectroscopy is capable of collecting compositional data for planetary surfaces at high spatial resolution …
My dissertation explores the intellectual project of the Peruvian scientist and antiquarian Mariano de Rivero (1798-1857), focusing on a pioneering concept of technology that emerges …
The objective of this thesis is to use first order geochemical and geophysical observations to understand melt generation and migration processes beneath mid-ocean ridge spreading …
Nevertheless, a block of copper appears to be both a preliminary draft and a ruin: complete and ravaged. The abandoned project and the devastated work …
Exposure, weathering, transport, deposition, and diagenesis have profound effects on sediment on planetary surfaces and the final, observable geologic record. This thesis constrains the ways …
Explosive volcanic eruptions are common on the terrestrial bodies of the Solar System. The modeling of explosive volcanic eruptions and the pyroclastic deposits they produce …
Ancient volcanic deposits on terrestrial planetary bodies preserve a record of the early stages of planetary evolution, revealing important information about both the interior evolution …
