Janice Bishop is a planetary scientist known for her research into the minerals found on Mars.

Education and career

In 1988, Bishop earned a B.S. in chemistry and an M.S. in Applied Earth Science from Stanford University.[1] She earned her Ph.D. from Brown University in 1994 and then was a postdoctoral associate at the German Aerospace Center in Berlin until 1997. From 1997 to 1999 she was a fellow at the National Aeronautics Space Agency (NASA) Ames Research Center before becoming a research scientist at the SETI Institute. Starting in 2015 she joined the Science Council at the SETI Institute and is a contractor at the NASA Ames Research Center.

In 2020[2] she was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union for:

Research

Bishop uses Raman spectroscopy to examine minerals that may be found on Mars[3] and examines minerals on Earth that serve as proxies for conditions on Mars.[4] Through this research Bishop has analyzed water in minerals such as montmorillonite[5] and used hyperspectral imaging to identify phyllosilicates on minerals from Earth.[6] On Mars, Bishop's research revealed these phyllosilicates are indicative of the presence of water.[7] In 2011, Bishop examined carbonate rocks in the Mojave Desert as an analogue for conditions that may occur on Mars[8] and her subsequent research revealed the wide-spread presence of rocks with carbonate on Mars[9] which could be indicative of potential life on Mars.[10] Using data from instruments on the Curiosity rover, Bishop and colleagues found presence of glauconitic clays which only form in bodies of water that remain still for long periods of time.[11] [12] In 2021, Bishop determined that dark streaks on Mars, called recurring slope lineae, can be the result of the interactions of sulfates and chlorine salts that absorb water, a condition that leads to landslides.[13] [14]
