Research Interests

My research interests revolve around three main axes: The analysis of planetary gravitational fields and topography, the thermal evolution and interior structure of the Moon and Mars, and the cratering history of the terrestrial planets. I am also participating in several planetary missions, such as with the Chandrayaan-1 X-ray Spectrometer (C1XS), NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory mission (GRAIL), the BepiColumbo Laser Altimeter (BELA), and the ExoMars Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package (HP3).

SHTOOLS

SHTOOLS is an archive of fortran 95 based software that I have developed for working with data expressed in spherical harmonics. This software package can be used to perform spherical harmonic transforms and reconstructions, rotations of spherical harmonic coefficients, and multitaper spectral analyses on the sphere.

Spherical Harmonic Models of Planetary Topography

This archive contains spherical harmonic models of the shape of the Earth, Moon, Mars, and Venus.

Lunar Crustal Thickness Archive

This archive contains lunar gravity, topography, and crustal thickness data and images that were presented in Wieczorek et al. (2006).
