Margaret Deahn's work focuses on planetary geology, particularly mapping and analyzing surface features on Mars and Venus using data from spacecraft missions such as InSight, Mars Sample Return, and DAVINCI. This includes studying impact craters, rock distributions, and landing site geology to understand surface processes and mission planning. The research combines remote sensing data analysis with geologic mapping techniques applied to planetary surfaces.
