Rhian Chapman

Rhian is a third year PhD student in the Planetary Science group and her research is on Martian dust storms. She’s running computer simulations of the atmosphere of Mars, investigating the processes by which dust is lifted from the surface of the planet, and when and where dust storms occur. She will be analysing data returned by the ESA ExoMars Schiaparelli lander and comparing that data with the results of his simulations. In her spare time Rhian is a rock climber, cinema junkie, real ale fan, and has just started learning German.
