Short Biography

 Jim Klemaszewski has been teaching at the undergraduate level since 1992, and has been involved in planetary research since 1996. Although his current teaching includes geology, astronomy, and methods of integrating science and faith, Jim's training and previous teaching experience includes the life sciences (e.g., general biology, microbiology) as well. Current research is focused on better understanding the geologic processes which have shaped Jupiter's icy moons, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. Jim is also involved in education/public outreach through NASA's Galileo mission. Full Biography
