Dr. Michael Aye & Dr. Ganna (Anya) Portyankina run a citizen science project looking at the surface of Mars; participants can help to find and analyze jets of material that spray up from the ground to help understand wind patterns in different locations around the planet. Dr. Portyankina brings an expertise of ices in the solar system, studying them both with data from spacecraft and from experimental low-temperature labs around the world. Dr. Aye creates new and innovative ways of analyzing data using a variety of programming languages, and works with instruments studying Mars, the moon, and Saturn’s rings.
