Purdue came to the Yukon to study Mars! Purdue EAPS 🇨🇦🔴

Moment of Inertia (MOI) and Tectonic Record of Asteroid 16 Psyche May Reveal Interior Structure and Core Solidification Processes. buff.ly/3y0geTQ Psyche's interior evolution, including core solidification direction, can be inferred from thrust faults and MOI measurements

Volatile Transport on Ariel and Implications for the Origin and Distribution of Carbon Dioxide on Uranian Moons. buff.ly/3Anm1DF Study finds that carbon dioxide ice is transported toward Ariel's equator; both an active and ancient source of carbon dioxide is plausible.

So proud of my Purdue EAPS research team – big congrats to Mariana Blanco-Rojas and Brianne Checketts for winning the LPSC Dwornik awards for best graduate and undergraduate talks for their talks on Uranus moons and Mars! How lucky am I to get to work with such great students?

A new study investigates the role of volatile migration in the unique Uranian thermal environment. The study, led by Stephanie Menten of Purdue EAPS, was selected as an AGU (American Geophysical Union) EOS Editor's Highlight. #thenextgiantleap purduesci.com/3MxMsK0 Stephanie Menten Mike Sori Dr. Ali Bramson

That's a go: Today our mission passed a standard planning milestone known as Key Decision Point E. We're now approved to proceed toward a launch period that opens Thursday, Oct. 10.  go.nasa.gov/47h65iR

Congratulations to Ali Bramson, of Purdue EAPS, for being awarded AGU (American Geophysical Union) 2024 Ronald Greeley Early Career Award in Planetary Science! Read more about her award here: purduesci.com/3Xwb5f9 #thenextgiantleap #boilerup Purdue Science Dr. Ali Bramson

Check out this Nature News and Views article that I wrote with Andrew Dombard, titled "Unrelaxed craters muddy the waters of the dwarf planet Ceres" rdcu.be/dUjgy I really enjoyed writing a summary of this great paper by Ian Pamerleau Mike Sori & Scully.

Is there a frozen ocean world near Earth? Purdue University & NASA JPL research suggests there is. Our largest asteroid was considered a dry environment, but Mike Sori & Ian Pamerleau of Purdue EAPS find it could be 90% covered in murky ice. purduesci.com/3TC4Rcb #thenextgiantleap

Really excited to have Andrea Donnellan join us here at Purdue EAPS and help us continue to grow stronger in Earth, atmospheric, and planetary sciences!

I am honored to be at #AGU24 this week to accept the Greeley Early Career Award in Planetary Sciences. I feel so fortunate to get to be on this career path and am grateful to everyone who has opened doors for me along the way. Thank you!

On Sunday, I had the immense honor of participating in the doctoral hooding ceremony of Dr. Riley McGlasson! We’ve had so many fun science adventures together over the last four years, and I know this is only just the start of amazing things we’ll continue to see from her!
