Exciting opportunities in planetary structural geology and tectonics: An early career perspective
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The outer shells of solid planetary bodies have been all subject to deformation during their history. The nature and style of deformation strictly depends on the evolution of each planetary body.

Unraveling the Geologic History of Miranda’s Inverness Corona
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Miranda is the only icy body whose surface is known to contain the enigmatic features called corona—ovoid to trapezoidal areas of deformation. In this work, we seek to constrain potential formation mechanisms for Inverness Corona, the youngest known ...

Geology of the Kuiper quadrangle (H06), Mercury
Journal of Maps, 2022 The Kuiper quadrangle (H06) is located at the equatorial zone of Mercury and encompasses the area between 288°E – 360°E and 22.5°N – 22.5°S. Using the NASA MESSENGER data, we compiled a geological map of the quadrangle at a 1:3,000,000 scale. The mapping

Geology of the Derain quadrangle (H10), Mercury
Journal of Maps, 2023 We present the results of geological mapping of Mercury’s Derain (H10) quadrangle (0°-72°E and 22.5°N-22.5°S) using data from the MESSENGER spacecraft. The map is presented on a scale of 1:3,000,000, for which linework was drawn at 1:300,000.

Geology, Power, and the Planetary
Environmental Humanities, 2023 Abstract What conditions of possibility have emerged for learning to live on a new earth? This special section builds on scholarship in the environmental humanities, critical Black studies, and geophilosophy to explore how emergent ways of becoming human are forged in relation to powerful earth dynamics, even while earth’s powers are ...

Formation mechanisms of ringwoodite: clues from the Martian meteorite Northwest Africa 8705
Earth, Planets and Space, 2021 Ringwoodite and wadsleyite are the high-pressure polymorphs of olivine, which are common in shocked meteorites. They are the major constituent minerals in the terrestrial mantle.

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Failure modes of lunar boulders depend both on rheology and the erosion agents acting in the lunar surface environment. Here, we address the failure modes of lunar boulders and their variations at a quasi-global scale (60°N to S).

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 The unusually prolonged volcanism at the Chang'e‐5 (CE‐5) landing site remains a mystery. To constrain the geochemical features of the CE‐5 mantle source, we performed in situ sulfur isotope analysis on sulfides of the CE‐5 basalts.
