May 13, 1888, birthday of Danish seismologist Inge Lehmann. She studied the inner structure of Earth using seismic waves, discovering Earth's inner solid core 🌍 In 2015 a GoogleDoodle celebrated her birthday 🎂 amnh.org/learn-teach/cu…

We remember Virginia Norwood ❤️ Happy Mother's Day. She designed the instrument that flew on Landsat 1 in 1972; her work revolutionized Earth observing remote sensing science, earning her the moniker "Mother of Landsat." Learn about Norwood's life here: ow.ly/sAjB50OlE4o

Congrats Dr. Amanda Rudolph for a successful PhD defense with Purdue EAPS! Her defense is titled “Identification of ancient environments and their related geologic processes on Mars using remote sensing techniques.” She is advised by Dr. Briony Horgan. #boilerup

Congratulations Dr. James Haber for a successful PhD defense with Purdue EAPS! His defense is titled “Understanding the history of water in evaporitic lakes on Mars using observations from the surface, orbit, and Earth analogs.” He is advised by Dr. Briony Horgan. #boilerup

I had a big cluster of PhD students start in 2018, and now they’re all graduating! Such mixed emotions this week, I’m so sad to see them go but so proud of how much they’ve done. Congratulations to DOCTORS Sinha, Rudolph, and Haber!! James Haber @rudolpa

Big news: I'm moving to Indiana! Next year, I'll be joining the faculty in the Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Department at Purdue University (Purdue EAPS). This really is a dream come true. (1/)

FYI for prospective grad students looking for opportunities starting Fall 2024! Consider applying to Purdue EAPS to study the origins of life and a variety of exciting topics with one of our incoming new professors, Ben K. D. Pearce, PhD!!! 🧬👽☄️🚀

Each month we feature a photo of a student on our eaps.purdue.edu home page. This month, we highlight Dr. Amanda Rudolph, who recently successfully defended her thesis with EAPS! In this photo, she is conducting field work in Iceland in 2021... 🧵1/2

Excited to share that I will join Purdue EAPS as an Asst. Prof. Fall 2024. It’s a privilege to be part of such a talented and welcoming community that inspires great science. Grateful for support from family, friends, peers, and mentors that has allowed for this opportunity (1/2)

I am very excited to say that I will be joining Purdue EAPS Purdue University in Fall 2024 as an Assistant Professor! 🚂☝️ #BoilerUp

I’m so happy for Dr. @DaraLaczniak who defended her PhD today! So proud of her and grateful she agreed to come on this crazy journey with me. Queens College is going to be so lucky to have her as a professor next year! ☄️🔬

Congrats Kirtee Ramo for a successful MS final with Purdue EAPS! Her GDSP program MS research is titled “Comparison of PCA and ICA for Mineral Identification of VIS-NIR Spectral Data from Mastcam-Z, CRISM, and Laboratory Mixtures.” She is advised by Dr. Briony Horgan. #boilerup

Such a great group of planetary students, and I got to either advise or sit on the committee of all of them!! <3

Congratulations to Kirtee on completing her Geodata Science MS!! Kirtee worked on statistical analysis of Mastcam-Z data and is off to keep working on Mars 2020 at Stony Brook University!
