Diana Blaney studies the geochemical evolution of Mars,
Io, and Europa. As a scientist-engineer, she consults on
numerous projects concerning Mars and other planetary body
exploration. In particular, she is responsible for the Mini-TES
(Thermal Emission Spectrometer) on the Mars rover, which
sees infrared radiation emitted by objects. Blaney is responsible
for interpreting the data from the Mini-TES (similar to
the TES on the Mars Global Surveyor) and will help us determine
from afar the mineral composition of Martian surface features
and select specific rocks and soils to further investigate
in detail.
