Timothy A Goudge

Timothy A Goudge is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Jackson School of Geosciences, University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on planetary surface processes using remote sensing data to study landscapes on Mars, Earth, and other bodies. He holds a BSc from Queen's University and advanced degrees (ScM/PhD) from Brown University.

Research Interests:

• Sedimentary records of Mars and Earth
• Impact crater lake evolution
• Fluvial and lacustrine systems
• Remote sensing applications
• Planetary comparative geomorphology

Publications highlight studies of Martian clay deposits, valley networks, and paleolake dynamics. His work integrates field observations with orbital datasets to understand planetary surface evolution. The UT Planetary Surface Processes Group, led by Dr. Goudge, emphasizes inclusive research practices and equitable opportunities for undergraduate researchers.

Advising and Grants: Supervises PhD students (e.g., Mariel Nelson, Morgan Carrington) and postdocs (e.g., Abdallah Zaki). The group prioritizes compensated research roles to ensure equitable access. Current projects include studies of sedimentary fan features, Rio Grande morphodynamics, and Martian canyon formation.
