With LPL since: 2005

Current Projects:
*Stability and Transport of Carbon Dioxide on Iapetus
*Photolytic Generation of Carbon Dioxide
*Aqueous Alteration of the Meteorite CM Murray
* Asteroid DatabaseThis database is a public beta. Data have been derived from the asteroid database at Lowell, Binzel's database, and data from the PDS. The data should be a direct reflections of the data sets that they came from, so their accuracy should evaluated accordingly.


Current LPL Ph.D. Advisor:
* Bob Brown
