Research Interests
My research stretches across a wide spectrum of geology including: the mineralogy and geochemistry of meteorites, with a focus on martian meteorites and micrometeorites; meteorite and micrometeorite recovery and concentration mechanisms, predominantly in polar settings; the recent history of polar icesheets; cryogenic weathering and associated mineralogical alteration mechanisms on Earth and Mars; exploring the geochemical and climatological limits on biological activity in cryogenic settings; and mission support for the future exploration of Mars. I am currently the Principal Investigator for the Antarctic Search for Meteorites program, with active research funding from NASA's Cosmochemistry and Mars Fundamental Research programs and NSF's Office of Polar Programs.
Graduate and Undergraduate Research Opportunities
I am always looking for curious and capable students (undergraduate and graduate) with a strong background in the natural sciences. Please contact me to discuss current opportunities.
