Dr. Charissa Campbell is a planetary atmospheric scientist, focusing on aerosols in the Martian atmosphere. She obtained her MSc and PhD at York University investigating Martian water-ice clouds while on the Curiosity rover operations team. Afterwards, she did postdoctoral work at NASA Goddard Space Flight Centre investigating dust events at the Martian south pole using Mars Climate Sounder Data. They also recently rejoined the Curiosity rover operations team to investigate dust lifting in imagery. She hopes to expand her knowledge of Martian aerosols with orbital and/or surface data, while also exploring ideas such as machine learning, low-cost mission concepts for Mars and aerosols on other planetary bodies.
