Jack Wright

Jack is a researcher working in the Planetary Environments group of the School of Physical Sciences (STEM Faculty). He completed his PhD in this group from 2015–2019, and his thesis was about volcanism on the planet Mercury. He produced the first geological map of the Hokusai quadrangle of Mercury. Following his PhD he is now a Post Doctoral Research Associate at the OU. His current work involves producing exemplar planetary geological maps to be used as guides for future planetary geological mappers across Europe. His next map will be of Mawrth Vallis, Mars; a site that has been a candidate landing site for several rover missions to the Red Planet.

Jack is a veteran of the Wheel of Ologies, with two previous appearances.
