Susan Conway is a planetary geomorphologist, who predominantly studies landscapes on Mars. She has a penchant for slope processes and volatile-related phenomena. She performs some of her research on Earth, examining the role of climate change in the increasing frequency of landslides in mountainous permafrost terrain and also using the Earth as an analogue for Mars. To understand planetary processes she also uses laboratory simulation, which has given useful insights to understand geomorphological processes driven by phase changes of volatiles. She is an ESA Guest Investigator on the Trace Gas Orbiter, focusing her work on CaSSIS and is a Co-Investigator on NASA’s HiRISE instrument – for both instruments she participates actively in the science teams, coordinating observations between the instruments. She obtained her HDR in 2023.
