About
A. M. Stickle is a leading planetary scientist whose research focuses on the Moon as a keystone for understanding planetary evolution across the Solar System. Her work centers on lunar geology, volatile resources, and the history of secondary crust formation. Stickle’s major contributions include co-authoring the “Moon Diver” Discovery mission concept, which proposes a bold exploration of a lunar mare pit to uncover the Moon’s volcanic and magmatic history—a study that has garnered 32 citations and highlights her role in shaping future exploration priorities. She also led a pivotal 2023 investigation using LRO-LAMP data to assess water ice and potential carbon dioxide and ammonia reserves in the Moon’s south polar cold traps, a study with 8 citations that directly informs resource utilization strategies for sustained human presence. Stickle’s work bridges sample-return legacy and remote sensing innovation, demonstrating how the Moon’s geological record can unlock secrets of the inner Solar System. Her achievements position her at the forefront of lunar science, inspiring students and researchers to explore the Moon as both a scientific archive and a stepping stone for deeper space exploration.
