"While a student at University of Arizona, Chuck was among the
first to work at Gerald Keiper's newly established Lunar and
Planetary Laboratory in Tuscon, where he helped compile the
most extensive catalogs ever made of lunar craters, and
experienced firsthand the early days of spacecraft lunar
exploration. Later as a NASA scientist and a researcher at
various universities, he studied impact cratering and
volcanism on the Moon and across the solar system.

"Chuck holds degrees in astronomy and geophysics, and received
his Ph.D. in planetary geology from Brown University. Since
1999 he has written a monthly lunar column in Sky & Telescope
magazine. He is coauthor of Volcanoes of North America: United
States and Canada (Cambridge UP 1992) and Astronaut's Guide to
Terrestrial Impact Craters (L&PI 1988) and has published
nearly 200 scientific papers on the Earth, Moon and planets."
