Amanda Stadermann

Ph.D. PTYS 2023

Amanda is a PhD candidate in the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. She recieved a BA in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Washington University in St. Louis before coming to the University of Arizona. At WashU, she researched lunar chronology through crater counting. In internships at the Applied Physics Laboratory, she participated in an active NASA mission, MESSENGER, and helped plan operations, maintain website, and research geologic surface features on Mercury. Here at UArizona, she has earned a MS in Planetary Sciences. Her PhD research focuses on lunar materials, particularly igneous rocks such as basalts and impact melts. She studies Apollo 16 impact melt rocks as well as a small grain of basalt from an Apollo 12 soil.
