Mikhail Minin

Mikhail is a programmer with a background in geosciences. He holds a B.Sc. degree in Earth Sciences and M.Sc. degree in Planetary Geoscience from Brock University. He wrote his M.Sc. thesis on the structural geology of Valles Marineris, Mars, based on morphometric analysis of LiDAR topography. His current PhD research (conducted at Jacobs University Bremen) involves developing and implementing geospatial interoperability standards so that data from different sources can be used together to constrain distribution of extraterrestrial mineral deposits.
