S. Shoemaker and E. M. Shoemaker at Palomar. Ronald Greeley (b. 1939) has been involved in lunar and planetary studies since 1967. His current research focuses on understanding planetary surface processes and geological histories and involves a combination of spacecraft data analysis, laboratory experiments and geological field studies on the earth.
