Computational, Analytical and Experimental Thermodynamics to Investigate the Presence, Stability, and Implications of Organic Matter in Ocean Worlds

/2024 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone Description Description: Ocean worlds such as Europa, Enceladus, Titan and Ceres are exciting, potentially habitable worlds in our own solar system. A large mass

Understanding the drivers of time-evolving glacier motion from spaceborne observations

/2024 6:00:59 PM Eastern Time Zone Description Description: One of the most consequential impacts of climate changes is an increase in ice loss from glaciers and ice sheets. Such losses are largely

Investigating the relationship between snow and food security

these socioecological food production systems. There are many exacerbating and mitigating combined ecohydrologic processes that contribute to more climate adapted or stressed food-water systems. Characterizing

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

these disparate observations is key to unraveling early lunar processes such as the cumulate overturn or the magma ocean, and will help understand the genesis of mare volcanism. The project would ideally involve

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

the presence of shallow ice is going to become necessary in some cases, but proving its absence will also sometimes become desirable (planetary protection). We seek a candidate who can help us improve numerical
