Planetary Geoscience - Hardcover

McSween Jr, Harry Y.: - Harry Y. McSween is Chancellor's Professor Emeritus of Planetary Geoscience at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He holds degrees from The Citadel (B.S.), the University of Georgia (M.S.), and Harvard University (Ph.D.). His research focuses on meteorites and has resulted in the publications of hundreds of scientific papers on the subject. He has also authored three popular books on planetary science, as well as textbooks in geochemistry and cosmochemistry. He has served as co-investigator for many NASA spacecraft missions, including Mars Pathfinder, Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Odyssey orbiter, and Dawn asteroid orbiter. McSween has been elected President of the Meteoritical Society and of the Geological Society of America and is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is the recipient of the Leonard Medal (Meteoritical Society), the J. Lawrence Smith Medal (US National Academy of Sciences), and the Whipple Award (American Geophysical Union), and is the namesake for asteroid 5223 McSween.Moersch, Jeffrey E.: - Jeffrey E. Moersch is Professor of Planetary Science at at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. He holds degrees from Cornell University (B.A. and Ph.D.) and Arizona State University (M.S.). His research focuses on remote sensing, planetary surface geology, instrument development, and terrestrial analog field work. He has served on the science teams for many NASA spacecraft missions, including the Mars Exploration Rovers, Mars Science Laboratory, and Mars Odyssey. Along with Professor McSween, he originally developed the planetary geology course from which this book is derived. Professor Moersch has authored and co-authored more than eighty peer-reviewed scientific articles and book chapters, and served for five years as the Mars editor for the scientific journal Icarus.Burr, Devon M.: - Devon M. Burr is Associate Professor of Planetary Science at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. She holds degrees from the United States Naval Academy (B.S), St. John's College, Santa Fe (M.A.), University of Iowa (M.S.), and University of Arizona (Ph.D.). Her research has been focusing on planetary geomorphology and she currently conducts research on fluvial, aeolian (wind-driven), and tectonic landscapes and processes on planetary bodies, using image analysis and wind tunnel experiments (featured on the cover of National Geographic magazine for kids, entitled Dr E's Super Stellar Solar System!). Burr is the lead editor of the book Megaflooding on Earth and Mars (Cambridge, 2009). She is also a member of the Geological Society of American (and former member of the GSA Planetary Geology Division management board), the AAS Division of Planetary Sciences (serving as Science Organizing Committee Chair for DPS 2018), the American Geophysical Union, and the namesake of asteroid DevonBurr.
