I study Mars | Astrophysics & Planetary Sciences PhD from @CUBoulder | Scientist, Artist | UAE

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

I was scooping up some ice cream the other day and accidentally made a Jupiter.

[UAE Embassy US @UAEEmbassyUS]

At @CUBoulder, Emiratis and Americans are working side-by-side on scientific discoveries that are out of this world 🪐.

On #IDWGS, learn from @PlanetaryNoora as she shares her experience at CU & the support she received from her professors: https://t.co/C0KBzu8FtG

@CaptainKirkLong I'm not the one featured on the university social media for being a cool professor 👀👀

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

Just another friendly PSA that it snows on Mars and it's really cool (pun intended)

[LASP @LASPatCU]

There's snow on Mars. You likely couldn't ski on it, but you might be able to snowshoe. Read more in @TheAtlantic featuring LASP researchers @PlanetaryNoora and @phayne.

@CaptainKirkLong @ThreeBodyBot You did it! Did u end up switching to unity or nah?

دولة الإمارات أطلقت اليوم المستكشف راشد بهدف الهبوط على سطح القمر.. لتكون الرابعة عالمياً والأولى عربياً التي تهبط على سطح القمر في حال تكللت المهمة بالنجاح بإذن الله وتوفيقه..

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

Today I called a friend to tell them that they forgot their phone at my place...

... and they picked up

Now to be clear; it wasn't their phone I found, but it wasn't until I started speaking that the full scale of my idiocy really hit me.

This is the moment Mars peeked out from behind our moon after being hidden for an hour. This shot was captured using my largest telescope and a special high-speed camera. Seeing another planet rising on the horizon of our moon was such a surreal experience.

@eladdavid6 Thank you!

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

Did you know that it snows CO2 ice on Mars?? And that it can scavenge water ice from the atmosphere in the process??

I wrote a paper with @phayne about this phenomenon, check it out!

[JGR-Planets @jgrplanets]

Transport of Water Into the Polar Regions of Mars Through Scavenging by CO2 Snowfall https://t.co/VbA7IonDbj Water ice in the atmosphere acts as a seed onto which the CO2 ice condenses, forming CO2 snow clouds. When that snow falls, it removes water from the atmosphere.

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@BritCoopz Oh nice I didn't know they were spotlighting it!

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@Astro__SARA Thank you!

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

To add to the joy of defending last week, my new paper with @phayne on the scavenging of water by CO2 snowfall at the Martian poles is out now: https://t.co/lKUBgk5wfo

TL;DR CO2 snowfall may be an important mechanism for water ice transport in the polar regions of Mars!

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@hwahl16 Thank you!

[Paul Hayne @phayne]

On the heels of her successful PhD defense, @PlanetaryNoora and I have a new paper out on the role of "scavenging" by CO2 snow in the water cycle on Mars:

Snowfall may play a key role in when and where ice accumulates at the poles of the red planet.

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@yusenye Thanks Yusen!

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

Last week I successfully defended my PhD in astrophysical and planetary sciences @CUBoulder on the topic of the Martian Water Cycle.

I couldn't have asked for better advisors than @phayne and Bruce Jakosky.

Feels surreal to be Dr. Noora Alsaeed.

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@WenKingsley Thanks!

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@CUBoulder :) thank you

[Dr. Noora Alsaeed @PlanetaryNoora]

@Planetary_Tyler Thanks Tyler!
