Professor Nicholas Makris (second from right, standing) holds an acoustic sensor that his lab is developing. His research group hopes the sensor will help scientists learn whether there is a liquid ocean under the ice of Jupiter's moon Europa. The group includes (left to right) Sunwoong Lee, Purnima Ratilal, Josh Wilson, Michele Zanolin and Yi-San Lai (both seated at table), and Aaron Thode (far r...

EAPS research scientist Gregory Neumann teamed up with Paul Withers, a graduate student at the University of Arizona, to produce high-resolution shaded relief maps of the northern plains of Mars from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). The maps show that the plains display wrinkle ridges, which are formed by stresses associated with the volcanic Tharsis Rise, shown above. The researchers noti...
