I’m an assistant professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Physics. I research the atmospheres of solar system planets and exoplanets and teach physics of climate.
Impact crater cataloging is an important tool in the study of the geological history of planetary bodies in the Solar System, including dating of sur- face features and geologic mapping of surface processes. Catalogs of impact craters have been created by a diverse set of methods over many decades, including using visible or near infra-red imagery and digital terrain models…
Mars exhibits less atmospheric variability at the solstices than it does during periods nearer the equinoxes. Much of this variability in air temperature and dust activity is attributable to a significant decrease in eastward traveling transient wave amplitudes in the lower atmosphere near the solstice…
