Degrees Held: BSS, with distinction, University of Western Sydney, 2004 Grad Dip Sci, University of New England, 2005 Degree Sought: M.S. in Earth Sciences Title of Research Project: "Does Plate Tectonics Occur on Enceladus?" Advisor: Dave Lageson Email Address: scott.mcleod@myportal.montana.edu

Saturn's moon Enceladus shows evidence for extensive resurfacing in the geologically recent past, and is one of only three moons in the solar system known to be geologically active at present. This project will analyze structural and geomorphic features on Enceladus in an attempt to determine if an organized system of plate tectonics is at work on this 500km diameter moon.
