Dr. Shoemaker's current research interests focus on volcanic and cryospheric processes on Mars, the Moon, and Earth and in situ resource utilization for human exploration of these bodies. She uses a variety of techniques to explore these processes including orbital and rover remote sensing observations, theoretical modeling, and field investigations of terrestrial analog sites. Dr. Shoemaker is also exploring how radar remote sensing and ground-penetrating radar systems and analysis techniques may best be applied to achieve in situ resource utilization objectives for human or robotic exploration of these bodies.
