May 2000 PhD thesis available online

As of 7-Dec-2000, I've left CU and moved down the street to SWRI to work on Cassini rings observations at Jupiter (December 2000) and Saturn (July 2004-).

As of 1-Oct-2003, Cassini has departed from SWRI and I am working on the New Horizons mission to Pluto.

Update! The History Channel has put together a documentary in which I (and others) discuss Pluto and New Horizons. (Is Pluto a planet or not? The answer is yes, although for sociological and historical reasons, not scientific ones.) The show is called "Outer Planets" and is part of their series "The Universe." Show airs 14-Aug-2007, 9p/8p central.
