BioDr. Jack Wilson is a planetary scientist specializing in the application of statistical data processing and image reconstruction techniques to remotely sensed data. He specifically applies these techniques to neutron and gamma ray spectroscopic data to improve their utility in inferring surface and near-subsurface composition of bodies without thick atmospheres. Recently, Dr. Wilson used Lunar Prospector Gamma Ray Spectrometer data to investigate lunar silicic volcanism and Mars Odyssey Neutron Spectrometer data to examine the global distribution of water on Mars. Currently, he uses Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer data to look at the global evolution of lunar composition and adapting statistical techniques for use with MESSENGER data.
