Planet Mercury: volatile release on a contracting world
… planet Mercury throughout its history, despite global contraction, which could be expected to impede the replenishment of these materials from depth. With the aid of high-resolution data from the MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) spacecraft, I perform …

Nonlocalized faulting in a thick lithosphere : application to lunar contraction
… reexamine the longstanding hypothesis that lunar contraction is constrained by the lack of a visible global system of compressive faults. We model the lunar lithosphere as a layered elastic medium that fails according to a Mohr-Coulomb criterion. We use elastic constants inferred from lunar …

Ex-Vivo Slaughterhouse Porcine Crystalloid-Perfused Beating Heart via Langendorff Method
… and coronary catheterization resulted in 1 hour global contraction, and 110bpm stabilized sinus rhythm. ECG displayed prominent QRS complex. Significant calcium overload and edema inhibited contractile function at 1 hr. The Langendorff beating heart apparatus will serve as a platform for further …

Geomechanical and tectonic investigations into the geologic history of Mars at local, regional, and global scales
… of the lithosphere at local, regional, and global scales. Techniques that have their origins in terrestrial geology are applied to Mars to analyze tectonic deformation of the lithosphere at these scales. At the local, or outcrop scale, I determine the physical properties of a sedimentary …
