Dr Penny King (BSc '93) is a Professor at the Research School of Earth Sciences, and the Associate Dean (Research) at the ANU College of Science. Her research group examines surface and interior processes on planetary bodies, investigating how volatile species - carbon-oxygen-hydrogen-sulfur compounds that prefer to be in a gas phase - are distributed on planets.
This research is crucial to understanding how life originates, how planetary atmospheres develop, how ore deposits form, and how climate is regulated, making huge strides in planetary science.
