    LINDA TARBOX ELKINS-TANTON Curriculum Vitae August 2020 Managing Director, Interplanetary Initiative, Arizona State University Principal Investigator, NASA Psyche mission Co-founder, Beagle Learning Office: (480) 727-2451 | Mobile: (617) 784-3817 | [email protected] RESEARCH Terrestrial planetary formation and subsequent planetary evolution. Creation of effective interdisciplinary teams and their leadership for maximizing discovery. Inquiry and exploration learning and the reformation of education for the Information Age. My mission is to create a generation of problem-solvers. Research Achievements • The evolution of planetesimals includes partially differentiated and other complex compositional structures, explaining physical and compositional observations from meteorites and asteroids. • The Siberian flood basalts erupted most of their volume before the end-Permian extinction occurred; the magmatism released carbon, sulfur, and halocarbons sufficient to drive catastrophic global climate change; the flood basalts began with a world-record volume of volcaniclastics, many erupted as tuffs and burning a significant coal volume. • Magma ocean stages of terrestrial planet formation retained sufficient water to create habitable planets without additional water delivery (though that is inevitable as well), and the silicate differentiation produced by magma ocean solidification creates successful predictions about current- day Moon, Earth, Mercury, and Mars. • Drip magmatism: Lithospheric gravitational instabilities heat, melt, and produce magmatism while they sinK into the mantle; verified in Chile, in Tibet, in the Sierra Nevada, and in east Africa. • The productivity of questions can be rated using a rubric and scored successfully by artificial intelligence.

ISAS always seeks for international collaboration. • Space science missions are proposed by researchers, and incubated by ISAS. ISAS plays a strategic role for mission selection primarily based on the bottom-up process, considering strategy of JAXA and national space policy. 3 JAXA recent science missions HAYABUSA 2003-2010 AKARI(ASTRO-F)2006-2011 KAGUYA（SELENE)2007-2009 Asteroid Explorer Infrared Astronomy Lunar Exploration IKAROS 2010 HAYABUSA2 2014-2020 M-V Rocket Asteroid Explorer Solar Sail SUZAKU(ASTRO-E2)2005- AKATSUKI 2010- X-Ray Astronomy Venus Meteorogy ARASE 2016- HINODE(SOLAR-B)2006- Van Allen belt Solar Observation Hisaki 2013 4 Planetary atmosphere Close ties between space science and space technology Space Technology Divisions Space
