Cross appointment with Physics & Astronomy

Research Interests

My research is in the area of lunar and planetary exploration and mapping. I am interested in the history of cartography, especially of the moon and planets. I am involved with geological studies of other worlds, especially Mars. One major area of my research has been the development of methods for mapping non-spherical bodies such as asteroids, including novel map projections, 3-D shape modelling and global map and photomosaic compilation. My principal work in the last few years has been an atlas of lunar exploration, now nearly ready for publication.
