Career

Nancy Chabot earned her B.A. in physics from Rice University in 1994.[1] After earning her Ph.D. in planetary science from the University of Arizona in 1999, Chabot worked at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, then at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. She joined the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in 2005. She has been a member of five field teams that traveled to Antarctica with the Antarctic Search for Meteorites (ANSMET) program to collect meteorites.[2]

Chabot also serves as the instrument scientist for MESSENGER’s Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) and contributes to the development of MESSENGER’s imaging campaigns. She is the lead for MDIS-based scientific investigations of Mercury's polar, radar-bright, ice-bearing craters and has been leading the release of web images since MESSENGER's first flyby of Mercury in January 2008.[3]

In 2001, Chabot was awarded the United States Antarctic Service Medal.[4]
