RVAS Monthly Meeting: Monthly meetings will resume on Monday, October 20 at 7:30pm, and are held at the VWCC STEM building ST312.


Our speaker will be Ramin Lolachi, who gave a presentation at Star Quest, Green Bank, back in July. His presentation will be on The History of Mars’ Water, Real and Imagined.


Dr. Ramin Lolachi is an Assistant Research Scientist with UMBC at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, where he studies the Martian atmosphere and the behavior of dust and water in planetary environments. His work explores how these processes shape the surfaces and climates of worlds like Mars and the Moon.
