Welcome to Erica Jawin's professional website.

I’m a Research Geologist at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, but starting August 1 I will be moving to the Planetary Science Institute as a Research Scientist. My research broadly addresses surface processes operating on planetary bodies and includes mass movement on rubble pile asteroids, glaciation and polar processes on Mars, and explosive volcanism on the Moon and Mercury. I am currently an active member of several NASA missions including the Artemis mission to the Moon, OSIRIS-APEX to asteroid Apophis, and the SHARAD radar sounder onboard the Mars Reconnaisance Orbiter.
