Jane Lee Fox is a physicist known for her research on the atmosphere of planets including Mars and Venus.
Education and career
Fox has a B.S. in chemistry from the University of Michigan (1973)[1] and earned her Ph.D. in chemical physics from Harvard University in 1978.[2] She was on the faculty at Stony Brook University from 1984 to 2003.[citation needed][3] Fox joined Wright State University in 2005, and as of 2021 is a research professor at Wright State University.[4]
Research
Fox is known for her research modeling the atmosphere on Mars,[5] including details on nitrogen found in the Martian atmosphere.[6] She has also worked on the atmosphere around Venus[7][8] and examined hydrocarbons in atmosphere of Titan, one of the moon's of Saturn.[9] Fox was a member of the science team for the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) project[10] where she studied long-term changes in Mars' atmosphere.[11][12]
