Kate Huntington speaks at GSA
Congratulations to former PhD student Kate
Huntington who was a keynote speaker for the GSA
Structural Geology and Tectonics 30th Anniversary
Symposium at the Denver National Meeting.
Recent presentations at National GSA in Denver
A topical session at the recent national GSA
meeting -- "Field Geology on Other Planets: An
Emerging Science" -- featured talks describing
human and robotic field geology on the Moon and
Mars, analog studies on Earth, and roadmaps for the
development of advanced planetary field geology.
Several of the talks reported on recent NASA-Ames
robotic tests at the Haughton Mars Project and on
the 2010 NASA Desert RATS project in northern
Arizona. Our group (Adams, Hodges, Monteleone, and
Young, as well as former student José Hurtado) were
heavily involved in both exercises.
Presentations at the GSA meeting included talks by Kip Hodges (with co-authors Harrison Schmitt and Terry Fong) on "A new approach to advanced planetary field geology", and by Young (with co-authors Kip Hodges, Cindy Evans, Maria Bualat, Matt Deans, Terry Fong, Essam Heggy, Mark Helper, and José Hurtado) on "The use of handheld x-ray fluorescence technology in planetary surface exploration".
