PLANETARY SCIENCE INSTITUTE INDIVIDUAL ANNUAL REPORT

Calendar Year 2014

I. Please describe your ongoing research (Short paragraph summaries in the third person for each subject).

David A. Crown's research includes NASA-supported projects in planetary geology, physical volcanology, and remote sensing. Current investigations treat a series of issues regarding the geologic evolution of the Martian surface, including a) geologic history of the Martian highlands in the Hellas region and along the highland-lowland boundary; b) emplacement of debris aprons and other ice-rich flow features; c) geomorphic characteristics and statistical analyses of impact craters; and d) eruption styles and erosional histories of Martian volcanoes, including the styles and sequences of volcanism in the southern Tharsis region. As part of the NASA/USGS Geologic Mapping Program, Crown is involved in the compilation of geologic maps of quadrangles on Mars and Venus. Additional projects combine field investigations (Hawaii, western U.S., Mexico), remote sensing, statistical analyses, and models of lava transport to understand lava flow field development on Earth and to develop methodologies for interpreting volcanic terrains on Mars, Venus, and Io. Current field studies have piloted collection of thermal and topographic data from active lava flows to document flow behavior and relate flow morphology to emplacement processes. Current research is supported by grants from NASA’s Planetary Geology and Geophysics Program (PGG) and Mars Data Analysis Program (MDAP). Crown has also led PSI efforts in education and public outreach, including the Planets Are Places Too series of professional development workshops as part of Project WISER and a collaboration with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and Arizona Project WET to revise curriculum and expand the ASDM’s Laurel Clark Earth Camp Experience.
