Biographical Information:

 

 
Photo of Ambassador
Erin DiMaggio received a BS in Geology from the University of Michigan in 2004 and in August 2007 earned an MS from Arizona State University (ASU). Currently, she is working on my PhD at ASU. Erin's research focuses on understanding the geologic context for human evolution in east Africa ~3 million years ago. She also studies the Mediterranean region, investigating landscape evolution related to the impacts of Agropastoral landuse on natural landscapes.

Additionally, Erin has studied both Martian geology and Europa. In 2002, she interned at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California investigating risk assessment for the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER). Although Erin's interests are diverse, she is excited to promote exploration and all types of research via public outreach! Erin has talked in K-12 classrooms about Mars, NASA missions, human evolution and basic geological concepts.
