About
Stephanie Morse is a planetary scientist whose research focuses on the detection and characterization of volatiles on the Moon and other airless bodies, with a particular emphasis on using neutron spectroscopy to map water ice and other hydrogen-bearing resources. Her most-cited work, "Simulated real-time lunar volatiles prospecting with a rover-borne neutron spectrometer" (2015), has garnered 10 citations and demonstrates her pioneering approach to developing real-time, rover-based techniques for identifying subsurface water ice—a critical capability for future in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) missions. Morse’s contributions bridge the gap between remote sensing and surface exploration, providing a framework for autonomous prospecting that could enable sustainable human presence on the Moon. Her work has been instrumental in advancing our understanding of how to efficiently locate and extract volatiles, directly supporting NASA’s Artemis program goals. By combining simulation, instrument design, and field testing, Morse has established herself as a key voice in the emerging field of planetary resource exploration.
