"If you want to gear the planets that revolve around the Sun, We'll do the job up nicely, and we'll only call it fun, And if you want a bridge to Mars, or a ten-foot shaft to hell, We're the engineers of a thousand years and we'll do the job right well!" (Colorado School of Mines "Fight" Song) 
Welcome to the Planetary Geophysics Group in the Department of Geophysics at the Colorado School of Mines. We're a small but growing group, focused on the study of the geology, geophysics, and geodynamics of the terrestrial planets. Active areas of research include the tectonic and geodynamic evolution of Mars, Martian groundwater flow, the crustal structure of Mars and the Moon, and the structure of impact basins. I am in Green Center room 280K on the Colorado School of Mines campus. Please feel free to drop by and say hello! NOTE: Interested graduate and undergraduate students should contact me to discuss opportunities in planetary science at Mines, or check here for more information. TRAVEL SCHEDULE: No updates at this time.  Three puzzles and an enigma: Conjunction of the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and the Colorado School of Mines "M" on December 1st, 2008. The Moon, Venus, and the moons of Jupiter represent some of the diverse questions in planetary geophysics. The "M" represents one question: What possessed a bunch of geologists and engineers to carry a ton of whitewashed stones up a mountain to build a giant glowing "M" 100 years ago? (Image credit: J. Andrews-Hanna) NEWS: See my recent paper featured in Discover magazines top 100 stories of 2008 here. National Geographic highlights my presentation at the American Geophysical Union here. |
