Post-Doc, School of Earth and Space Exploration
Exploration Postdoctoral Fellow
About
Briony is an Exploration Postdoctoral Fellow at Arizona State University, where she primarily studies the composition, spectral properties, and terrestrial field analogs of soils and sediments on Mars. The results of these studies will aid in planning and interpreting surface observations by the 2011 Mars Science Laboratory mission.
Briony earned her B.S. in Physics from Oregon State University in 2005 and her Ph.D. in Astronomy and Space Sciences from Cornell University in 2010. Her thesis advisor was Prof. Jim Bell (now also at ASU). Her thesis was titled "Wind, water, and the sands of Mars", and focused on using spectral and morphologic characteristics of sediments in the northern lowlands of Mars to reveal past and ongoing interactions with liquid water.
