Speaker Biography
Dr. Amador is a postdoctoral scholar of planetary geology in the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology and an affiliate of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington in 2017 in Earth and Space Sciences and Astrobiology and has a B.S. in Earth and Planetary Sciences from UC Santa Cruz. Her research is broadly themed around understanding the changes in geological processes during Mars's past and present history with a focus on studying the compositional subtleties in 3.5 Gya rocks to infer past geochemical processes with specific implications for the habitability of an ancient Mars.
