... Her research interests focus on the use of remote sensing data collected from spacecraft to further develop theoretical models of surface processes, including analysis of Io's infrared spectra obtained by Galileo's Near-Infrared Mapping Spectrometer and analysis of geologic features on Titan using the Cassini Radar Mapper, with particular emphasis on cryovolcanic features. Recognition for her work includes the Wings WorldQuest: Women of Discovery Award, the Carl Sagan Medal from the American Astronomical Society's Division for Planetary Sciences, and the Latinas in Science Award from the Comision Feminil Mexicana Nacional, and she is a fellow of the AAAS.
