Brief Bio

Dr. Garry is a volcanologist and his research projects involve the study of terrestrial lava flows and volcanoes that he compares to similar features on the Moon and Mars to better understand the eruption processes and history. His current projects include investigtions of lava tubes and fissure systems and geologic mapping of the Moon and Mars. His current projects include field studies in Hawaii, Iceland, the Galapagos, Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, and California. He previously served as a Participating Scientist on NASA’s Dawn and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) missions and as a crew member for NASA's Desert RATS analog program.
