Colin Dundas

Postdoctoral Research Associate

Ph.D. (Planetary Science), The University of Arizona, 2009

B.S. (Planetary Science), Caltech, 2004

Research Interests:
I study planetary geomorphology and surface processes, particularly focusing on the surface of Mars. I use a combination of image analysis (largely using data from the HiRISE camera) and modeling to understand the formation and evolution of surface features. This helps to understand the processes and conditions which have shaped the present surface. I am particularly interested in periglacial and volcanic features.

Colleagues:
Alfred McEwen
Shane Byrne

Current Projects:
Investigation of recent activity in Martian gullies
Analysis of the cratering record of lava surfaces on Mars
Modeling sublimation of ice on Mars
