Biography

Elodie Gloesener is a postdoctoral fellow at JPL studying the stability and composition of clathrate hydrates under conditions relevant to the outer Solar System. Her research project aims to couple laboratory and modelling studies to better constrain cryovolcanic processes and methane outgassing on icy satellites, especially on Titan.
