about me.
I AM ROBERT R. SHROCK PROFESSOR OF PLANETARY SCIENCES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EARTH, ATMOSPHERIC, AND PLANETARY SCIENCES (EAPS) AT THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY (MIT).
I direct the MIT Paleomagnetism Laboratory and am Chair of the Program in Planetary Sciences at MIT. Here is my CV.
I study the formation, evolution, and history of planetary bodies, with a focus on paleomagnetism and geomagnetism, geophysics, meteoritics, and habitability. I employ laboratory analyses of geological samples, spacecraft observations, and fieldwork around the Earth to understand the history of planetary geological and geochemical processes.
