Research

Dr. Udry's research focus is martian igneous petrology. She is particularly interested in understanding martian magmatic processes using meteorites and surface rock compositions. Her projects include petrology of martian meteorites, thermodynamical modeling of magmatic evolution, and investigation of martian magmatic water degassing. Dr. Udry uses a variety of classic petrological tools such as microscopy as well as electron and ion microprobe analyses.
