Dr. Shreekumari Patel is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Space and Planetary Science Center at Khalifa University of Science and Technology. She formerly worked as a visiting lecturer at M. G. Science Institute from 2019 to 2021. Dr. Shreekumari obtained her BSc and MSc degrees from M. G. Science Institute between 2015 and 2017. In 2021, she received her PhD from Gujarat University. She served as a Junior Research Fellow at the Space Application Center of the Indian Space Research Organisation from 2017 to 2019. Her current study focuses on the surface and subsurface analysis of the moon and Mars's geological process
MOON
The Moon, Earth's natural satellite, has long fascinated humanity with its mysterious surface. From its craters and mountains to its volcanic plains, the Moon offers a captivating glimpse into the geology and history of our celestial neighbor. Our study delves into the intriguing geology of the Moon, exploring its complex composition and history through detailed spectral and morphological analyses and geostatistical techniques. The research extends to lunar volcanic formations, examining the spectral and chemical makeup of basaltic units representative of lunar flood volcanism. Analysis of these volcanic units reveals magma fractionation during crystallization, indicating a dynamic volcanic history on the Moon. Through this comprehensive study, we aim to deepen our understanding of the Moon's geological evolution, volcanic activity, and crustal composition, contributing to our broader knowledge of planetary geology and the solar system's history.
MARS
Mars exhibits widespread volcanic activity, displaying a variety of volcanic formations such as central volcanoes, tholi, paterae, small domes, and expansive volcanic plains. Drawing from comprehensive research and scientific studies, we provide detailed insights into these volcanic features found on the Martian surface. Through high-resolution optical and spectral datasets, interactive maps, and 3D models, users can visually explore these fascinating geological formations and gain a better understanding of the geological processes that have shaped Mars over millions of years.
