RESEARCH IN PROGRESS
a) Developing a new technology (Impact Flash) to determine surface compositions of
planets and asteroids. Research is performed in conjunction with NASA/Jet
Propulsion Laboratory through hypervelocity impact experiments at NASA Ames
Research Center.

b) Investigating impact record in Argentina as a means to understand the
chronostratigraphy of sedimentary sequences over the last 10 million years.

c) Performing research on the effect of impact trajectory (direction and angle) on crater
structure, which has important implications for the regional ecological stress greated
by terrestrial impacts.

d) Using the NASA Ames Vertical Gun Range to understand new scaling relations for
different conditions of impact and energy partitioning.

e) Performing hypervelocity laboratory impact and high strain-rate experiments to
understand the relative roles of shock and shear heating during impact.

f) Assessing the effect of an atmosphere on the emplacement of crater ejecta as a means
to probe the Martian crust.

g) Investigating the generation, dispersal, survival and evidence for impact glass deposits
on Mars.

h) Co-Investigator on NASA Discovery Mission, Deep Impact.

i) Assessing the effect of impact angle on asymmetries in peak pressures and ejecta
distribution using the NASA Ames Vertical Gun Range

i) Developing a new technique (with NASA Ames Research Center) for quantifying
ejecta flow fields using three-dimensional particle velocimetry.

j) Investigating processes affecting the synthesis and survival of organics during
hypervelocity impacts (member, NASA Ames Astrobiology Institute).

k) Analysis of data from NASA’s Deep Impact Discovery mission

l) Participation in various new mission concept studies
