I am an MS Geology student interested in assessing volcanic hazards and scientific outreach. I've previously worked in the analysis of sulfur dioxide emissions of Guatemala's most active volcanoes, the analysis of height displacement at Ol Doinyo Lengai (CODE-GEO, Virginia Tech), and the study of Proterozoic metamorphic bedrock and fault geometry (Arctic REU).
I’m working with Dr. Shannon Kobs Nawotniak studying lunar analogs in the eastern Snake River Plain. The study involves using high-resolution UAS data to understand how sediment accumulation affects the surface of lava. This research will help us understand the original morphology of lunar lava flows, which may be partially concealed by lunar dust, and provide insights into surface roughness that could indicate stable regions for lunar ice below the detection threshold in orbital data.
