Показать описание
Dr. Tanya Harrison calls herself a “professional martian.” In this talk, she shares how you, too, can embark on the emotional journey of exploring the world through data.

She has spent the last decade working as a scientist and in mission operations on multiple NASA Mars missions, including the Curiosity and Opportunity rovers. Her specialty lies in geomorphology: the study of a planet’s evolution based on its surface features. Before Mars however, Tanya had her head in the stars as an astronomer studying the metal content of star clusters and recurring novae systems.

She holds a Ph.D. in Geology from the University of Western Ontario, a Masters in Earth and Environmental Sciences from Wesleyan University, and a B.Sc. in Astronomy and Physics from the University of Washington. Currently she is the Director of Research for Arizona State University’s Space Technology and Science (“NewSpace”) Initiative. Tanya is also an advocate for advancing the status of women in science and for accessibility in the geosciences. You can find her prolifically tweeting about the Red Planet—and her experiences with both #WomenInSTEM and #DisabledInSTEM—as @tanyaofmars. (As a huge foodie however, she’ll likely never choose to make the journey to Mars herself.)

A pity there aren't links given to the many projects she mentions.

Sorry, but this is one of the most useless talks I've heard on TED. The whole thing is "I work for NASA, I'm cool. This is a link to our website where you can order photos from NASA's satellite. Bye."
