Planetary Interiors and GeophysicsBiography
Andrew Wilcoski is a NASA Postdoc interested in thermal properties, ice stability, volatile history on bodies throughout the Solar System, especially on the Moon and Mars. My favorite tools to use are thermal modeling and remote sensing, but I enjoy using whatever technique is suited to answering a particular science question!
