  • David Trilling, professor of astronomy and planetary sciences, is listed as an author on the article “The geology and geophysics of Kuiper Belt object (486958) Arrokoth.” He also presented at the Spitzer Legacy conference at Caltech. The conference celebrated the end of the Spitzer mission after 17 years, and Trilling reported on observations of Earth’s asteroids.
  • Postdoctoral scholar Jennifer Buz presented at the ASU Desert Attunement Symposium. The symposium explores imperatives the desert gives to those that dwell within it and what it means to develop a lifestyle that is in harmony with our desert surroundings.
