Research

We study extraterrestrial materials, with particular emphasis on lunar, martian, asteroidal and meteoric minerals to learn about the formation conditions of our solar system. Associate Professor James Greenwood leads research on cosmochemistry at Wesleyan.

Planets form disks of gas and dust around young stars. By studying these circumstellar disks, we can learn about the initial conditions for planet formation and trace the evolution of young planetary systems as they evolve and interact with their natal material. Professor Meredith Hughes leads research in planet formation at Wesleyan.

The Wesleyan Transiting Exoplanet Project (WesTEP) utilizes on-campus telescopes to observe the light curves of stars as their planets transit, and the largest telescopes in the world to take spectra of the transiting exoplanet's atmosphere. Professor Seth Redfield leads research on transiting exoplanets at Wesleyan.

This work includes fundamental mapping of Venus and Mars as well as experimental studies of geological materials at planetary conditions. Professor Martha Gilmore leads planetary geology and minerology research at Wesleyan.

How do organisms affect their environment? This research emphasizes the study of the habitat, energy pathways, and geochemical imprint of extremophiles with application to Martian environments.  Professors Cohan and Greenwood lead biogeochemical research at Wesleyan.

Planetary missions are the chief tools by which we address major questions about the solar system.  Professor Martha Gilmore is a team member for the NASA VERITAS and DAVINCI missions to Venus and has worked with development of missions to Venus and Mars.
