Dr. Scott Murchie is a planetary scientist whose research interests lie in using imaging and spectroscopy to reconstruct the three-dimensional structure and history of planetary crusts, planetary satellites, and small bodies. Much of his research has focused on the role of water in shaping the surface and crust of Mars, the composition and origin of asteroids and the Martian moons, and the crust of Mercury. He has been deeply involved in the NEAR, MESSENGER, MRO, and Dragonfly missions.
