Led by Prof. Brian Jackson of Boise State Physics, the Planetary Science Lab conducts research spanning our Solar System and beyond.
As part of a NASA-funded effort, Jackson’s group explores aeolian processes on Earth as an analog for Mars and Saturn’s moon Titan by using instrumented drones to probe active dust devils.
Leveraging cutting-edge data science techniques, Jackson’s group also uses data from NASA’s Kepler/K2 and TESS Missions to search for exotic planets orbiting distant stars and to probe their meteorology, work that has also enjoyed NASA support.
