Ariana Marie Flournoy Resume
EXPERIENCE
Research Western Washington University— NASA Space Grant
June 2020 - September 2020
Over the course of 3 months, I will be conducting experiments in a wave tank created by Brady Foreman, provided by Western Washington University, to test the theories of ice melt on Mars and how they created the deltas and alluvial fans in the craters of this planet. Using this data, I will be assessing the paleoclimate of Mars based on the average rate of ice melt.
