James Haber studies the surface and geological history of Mars and the Moon using data from rover cameras and remote sensing instruments. Much of the work focuses on interpreting rock and mineral composition in Gale Crater on Mars (studied by the Curiosity rover) and using places on Earth, like Iceland and Vulcano, Italy, as physical stand-ins ('analogs') for past Martian environments. Other work examines rock abundance on the Moon's volcanic plains (mare) to understand their age and surface history.
