Taking advantage of Titan\u0026#39;s dense atmosphere and low gravity, Dragonfly can fly from place to place, exploring diverse geological settings to measure the compositions of surface materials and observe\u0026nbsp;Titan\u0026#39;s geology and meteorology. Dragonfly will make multidisciplinary science measurements at\u0026nbsp;dozens of sites, traveling 150 km during a three-year mission to characterize Titan\u0026#39;s habitability and determine how far organic chemistry has progressed in environments that provide key ingredients for life.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ERegistration and other information\u0026nbsp;for the 2020 Distinguished Lecture can be found \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/primetime.bluejeans.com\/a2m\/register\/rgyxupxq\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout Elizabeth Turtle\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDr. Elizabeth Turtle is a planetary scientist at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. Her\u0026nbsp;research focus is using remote sensing observations and numerical geophysical models to study geological structures and their implications for the surfaces and interiors of the planets on which they formed. The processes of interest include impact cratering and tectonics on terrestrial planets and outer planet icy satellites, mountain formation on Io, creep of ice-rich permafrost on Mars, and dynamics of lakes on Titan.
