Joshua Murphy

Joshua Murphy is a recent graduate with a PhD in Geosciences from Virginia Tech. His research primarily involves geodynamic modeling of Mars, with the addition of mantle melting. He has investigated how Mars could produce Tharsis and produce melt up to geologically recent times, given the constraints from NASA’s InSight mission, as well as Mars’s gravity and shape measured by orbiters. He has also worked on determining the thermal conductivity of the Martian regolith (soil) by applying analytical solutions of heat flow to the data collected by InSight’s heat flow probe.

Welcome to the first of its kind, the Geotandem 01! A collaborative series between EGU divisions. Interdisciplinarity is intrinsic to Geosciences, so we want to showcase how researchers approach the same topics from different but also complementing perspectives. In each edition, we will bring you a high-interest topic for the community seen from the eyes of diverse disciplines. Today, the Tectonic ...[Read More]
