Selena Valencia is a University of Arizona Sophomore majoring in Art History. She works with Shane Byrne from Lunar and Planetary Laboratory conducting research on “Digitizing the Lunar Surveyor Dataset.”

Mark Buxton is a University of Arizona Junior majoring in Computer Science. He works with Shane Byrne from Lunar and Planetary Laboratory conducting research on “Digitizing the Lunar Surveyor Dataset.”

Alexander Alvarez is a University of Arizona Senior majoring in Biomedical Engineering. He works with Christopher Hamilton from Lunar and Planetary Laboratory conducting research on “Machine Learning Applied to Planetary Remote Sensing Data.”

Dr. Sori's research focuses on planetary geophysics, including studies of the viscous flow of topography, lunar gravity, the Martian polar layered deposits, impact cratering, and isostasy. 

Dr. Scheidt's research focuses on surface processes with an emphasis on aeolian and volcanic terrains. He utilizes aerial imaging, surveying and stereophotogrammetry to create quantitative topographic models. His background is in multispectral and hyperspectral remote sensing of the land surface, specifically using the thermal infrared wavelength region.
