Hargraves Crater

Hargraves Crater on Mars shows beautiful exposures of impact ejecta. My work on this crater looked at HiRISE images of the ejecta to understand its structure and place it in the context of Martian craters. It has important implications for impact processes. Link to paper will come! For now, here's an abstract. Image is from ESP_044161_2005 Courtesy NASA/JPL/University of Arizona.

Moons and Fractures

My early graduate work focused on studying fracture structures on some Tethys, Saturn's moon. I looked at their characteristics, mapped them into groups, and theorized about their formation. Paper is on the way, but you can read the early version in my thesis.
