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).

Farside Explorer
Farside Explorer is an ESA Cosmic Vision medium-size mission proposal to put two landers on the farside of the Moon and a satellite in an orbit about the Earth-Moon L2 Lagrange point. Click here for more information.
