Project Description: Mapping crustal magnetic fields on the Moon and Mars using spacecraft magnetometer data. The intern will assist with all aspects of the mapping by applying previously written software.
NASA Relevance: We will be analyzing data from NASA spacecraft.
Work Description:
1. Selection of good quality magnetometer data for mapping
2. Application of previously written software for producing maps of crustal magnetic fields.
3. Interpretation of the resulting maps to identify sources of the crustal fields and implications for the history of former lunar and planetary internal magnetic fields.
