About the Bramson Group

Our research group studies processes that affect the surfaces of planets and ice in our solar system. We tackle such questions about the planets using spacecraft remote sensing observations in combination with theoretical modeling, supplemented by occasional field work at terrestrial analog sites and experimental studies. Our work is helping shape the future of in situ resource utilization and human exploration of Mars, as well as plan future robotic spacecraft missions for planetary science.
