The nature of the lunar crustal dichotomy and its effects in early lunar volcanism

to combine petrological and remote sensing information with geodynamical modeling in order to provide an explanation of the lunar crustal dichotomy. The proposed work would incorporate all observations

Laboratory Chemistry Investigations of Planetary and Exoplanet Atmospheres

simulate the atmospheric chemistry of interest. The models are used to simulate and recreate observations from telescopes, satellites and probes, in the form of chemical profiles or observed spectra. At JPL

Quantum Solid State Magnetometers and other Quantum Sensors (Silicon Carbide, NV Diamond)

surveying, and submarine detection. In space, it contributes to planetary science, Earth science, and Heliophysics. For space missions, magnetometers are positioned on a spacecraft boom to minimize

Multipixel Receiver Systems for Terahertz Astronomy

heterodyne array receivers. For these platforms a key consideration is to increase mapping speed in order to maximize the science return using the time available in flight. Two approaches to improving mapping

Thermal Modeling for Complex Terrains on Europa

of geothermal heat is crucial, in order to discriminate active heat source from passive self-warming. Field of Science: Planetary Science Advisors: Sylvain Piqueux [email protected] (626) 807-8310

Mars surface/atmosphere energy exchange modeling; application to regolith properties determination and volatile mapping

include upgrading the current atmospheric treatment of an existing well-established planetary regolith model with a state-of-the-art preexisting 1D radiative transfer model in order to refine the heat
