Bio: Dr. Pamela Gay is a Director of Cosmoquest.
Dr. Dave Blewett from Johns Hopkins University. He joined The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory as a member of the Senior Professional Staff in September 2007. Before that, he was a Principal Scientist at NovaSol (Innovative Technical Solutions, Inc.), a small employee-owned high-tech company in Honolulu, Hawaii of which he was a cofounder. His planetary research emphasizes remote sensing, geological analysis, and spectral algorithm development using data from planetary spacecraft including Mariner 10, Clementine, Galileo, Lunar Prospector, MESSENGER, and Dawn. He has been a Principal Investigator (PI) in NASA planetary research programs since 2002 and was named a MESSENGER Participating Scientist in 2007 and a Dawn at Vesta Participating Scientist in 2010. David has focused on geological and compositional analysis of ultraviolet-near infrared spectra and multispectral images, including study of space weathering trends on the Moon, Mercury, and Vesta. He served for three years as Co-chair of the MESSENGER Geology Discipline Group and a member of the PI’s Science Steering Committee. He was an ANSMET (Antarctic Search for Meteorites) field party member during the 1988–1989 austral summer.
