Dana Crider - Bio
Dr. Dana Hurley Crider
The Catholic University of America
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Present Positions
Assistant Research Professor, The Catholic University of America
Instructor, University of Maryland
Education
Ph.D. Space Physics and Astronomy, Rice University, Houston, TX, 1999
M.S. Space Physics and Astronomy, Rice University, Houston, TX, 1996

Research Interests
Dr. Crider's research interests include the solar wind interaction with sundry planetary bodies.
Most recently, she has worked with data from the Mars Global Surveyor Magnetometer/Electron Reflectometer to understand the solar wind flow around Mars and its crustal magnetization.
She has also simulated the effects of the solar wind bombardment of the lunar surface and applied it to the production and migration of water vapor to cold traps at the lunar poles.
Experience
1999-2001 NRC Resident Research Associate, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
1994-1999 Graduate Research Assistant, Rice University
Academic Awards
1996-1999 NASA Graduate Student Researchers Program Fellow
1995 NASA/Texas Space Grant Consortium Fellow
1995 William F. Marlar Scholar
