Biography
Dr. Garry studies volcanism on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. His research projects involve the study of terrestrial lava flows that he compares to volcanoes and lava flows on the Moon and Mars to better understand their eruption processes and geologic history. Dr. Garry has ongoing research projects to study lava flows in Hawaii, New Mexico, Idaho, Oregon, and Iceland. He also served as a Participating Scientist on NASA’s Dawn and Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) missions.
