| Dr. Elizabeth Turtle is a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory. She will be speaking about the Europa Imaging System (EIS) onboard the Europa Clipper spacecraft, which will be used to investigate aspects of Europa’s geology, composition, and the nature of its ice shell. Her research combines remote-sensing observations and numerical geophysical models to study geological structures and their implications for planetary surfaces, interiors, and evolution.
Dr. Turtle is the principal investigator of the Dragonfly mission to Titan and the Europa Imaging System for the Europa mission, an associate on the Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem and RADAR teams, and a co-investigator on the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera.
