A. M. Bramson studies the surfaces and subsurfaces of planetary bodies, especially the Moon and Mars, using radar and other remote-sensing data to map buried ice, volcanic deposits, and geological features. Work spans lunar radar characterization (Mini-RF data), Martian polar ice layering and water-ice mapping, and exploratory instrument concepts for probing planetary subsurfaces. This research supports understanding of planetary climate history and could inform future robotic or human missions.

Publication output was higher and more variable earlier in the decade (peaking around 2021) but has settled into a steadier, lower rate of roughly 7 papers per year over the last five years.
