Summary
About me
I am a first year PhD student based at the Natural History Museum. I am uncovering the geological history of Mars by looking at orbital images to infer the geology at the surface.
Currently, I am focussing on very old terrain in Arabia Terra, including Oxia Planum – the landing site of the ExoMars rover in 2023. By studying the oldest rocks on Mars we can find out what the surface conditions were like billions of years ago. They were very different to the desolate Mars we know today, and may have been ideal for life.
Previously, I have researched volcanic and seismic activity on Mars in and around the Elysium Planitia, as well as working with the European Space Agency (ESA) on the Mars2020 mission to return samples of Jezero Crater to Earth.
