Julie Chittenden Many fundamental processes on Mars require an understanding of the temperature and pressure conditions at the Martian surface. In particular, the stability of liquid water is a key factor in formation of gully features, and is
Tom Abel, Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology Laboratory, Stanford UniversityThe first structure to form in the Universe can now be predicted from ab initio simulations starting with the known initial conditions of our Unive
Jasper Halekas, UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory The lunar environment, serene and unchanging to the naked eye, seethes with plasma and electromagnetic activity. Plasma, photons, micrometeorites and energetic particles constantly bombard
John McCarthy, Professor Emeritus, Computer Science Stanford UniversityConvergent evolution is the phenomenon of two or more species of widely different origins evolving extremely similar features in response to the same environmental opportuni
Rachel Mastrapa, NASA Ames Space Sciences Division and SETI Institute Infrared spectra of icy satellites contain information about the surface composition and the phase state of those materials. For example, the phase of H2O-ice can be used to
Richard Muller, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, UC BerkeleyRichard Muller and his collaborators have recently analyzed the most complete record of marine animal fossils ever compiled, the "Compendium" of Jack Sepkoski, which lists all known fossi
Jeffrey Scargle, NASA Ames Space Science DivisionJeff Scargle will describe non-standard data analysis methods for extracting scientific information from time series and other data. Examples include large scale structure in the distribution of
Ross A. Beyer, SETI Institute and NASA AmesGoogle, Inc., has released Google Earth 5.0 which contains a Mars 3D mode. Working with engineers at Google, we helped collect, parse, and organize the vast store of Mars geospatial data available to
Scott Sandford, NASA Ames Space Science DivisionThe Stardust mission successfully returned samples from Comet Wild 2 in 2006. Studies of these samples have confirmed the presence of organics, some of which appear to be similar to those found i
Franck Marchis, UC Berkeley and the SETI InstituteSince the discovery of Ida’s companion Dactyl in 1993, the number of known multiple asteroids has been continuously increasing and ~165 of them are now known. Since 2003, Dr. Marchis and his col
Dr. Jack Lissauer, Space Sciences Division, NASA Ames Research CenterThe observed properties of giant planets, models of their evolution, and observations of protoplanetary disks all provide constraints on the formation of gas giant planets. T
Ron Greeley, Regent's Professor, Arizona State UniversityWindblown dunes, ripples, and erosional features are seen on Earth, Venus, and Titan, while on Mars these features are ubiquitous and reflect the dominant agent of surface modification. A
Don Backer and Jill TarterJill Tarter will talk about the large survey SETI observing programs to be undertaken by our in-house team over the next decade, the SETI observing projects from external proposers that have been allocated array time d
Dr. Sachindev ShenoyMIPSGAL is a survey of the Galactic plane at 24 and 70 microns using Multiband Imaging Photometer for Spitzer (MIPS) Space Telescope. This is one of the most sensitive survey in the mid-infrared of our Galactic plane. In thi
