New article published in Icarus
🚨 New short article! 🚨 We determined that underground methane, if present at Jezero crater, could be collected by Perseverance drilled cores at certain times/seasons. However, sample tubes would need to be capped faster than is correctly done to preserve pore gases. #Mars bit.ly/4nnLZv3

New article published in J. of Environmental Radioactivity
🚨 New Year, New Article! 🚨 Gas diffusion-adsorption in zeolitic rocks behaves counter-intuitively when partially saturated. This has implications for radionuclide transport monitoring, and possibly even methane transport on Mars. doi.org/10.1016/j.je...

Session Chair at AGU Fall Meeting 2024
Title: The New Mars Underground: Fluids, Volatiles, and the Future of Mars Exploration
My first time as a session chair at #AGU24 was a great success! Turns out a lot of people care about subsurface processes on Mars!
