George Clark

Dr. George Clark is a research associate at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Dr. Clark got his Ph.D. with the joint program between University of Texas, San Antonio and Southwest Research Institute, where he studied spaced-based plasma instrumentation and energetic electron dynamics of Saturn’s magnetosphere, under the guidance of Frederic Allegrini. At Goddard, Dr. Clark specializes in the comet- solar wind interaction using data from the Rosetta Ion and Electron Sensor. Clark is also a part of the MMS Fast Plasma Investigation. Dr. Clark is also investigating the dominant source, sink, and transport processes in Saturn’s magnetosphere.
