Reflecting on 15 years working on Mars

When the mission for the Mars rover Opportunity was declared complete, after 15 years rolling around the dusty planet surface examining rocks, soil, craters and dunes, science team member Wendy Calvin was a little sad, but said the rover "had a good long life."

Wendy Calvin is the w88 slot of Geological Sciences and Engineering Chair and professor. Her experience as a member of the Mars Rover science team is passed down to students and shared with other faculty.

Geophysics at Fly Ranch

The w88 slot's applied geophysics graduate class spent spring break doing remote sensing field work out at Fly Ranch in Gerlach, Nevada. They tested out using the drone to create incredibly high-resolution models of the landscape.
