SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE
Excellence in Research and Service
During the 2014 performance period, the Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) continued its focus on
scientific excellence and service to NASA and the international planetary science community. In the last
12 months, the LPI science staff submitted 10 research manuscripts to peer‐reviewed journals and had
an additional 91 papers accepted or published (APPENDIX I). Conference and Workshop participation
remained exceptional with 151 abstracts contributed (APPENDIX II) for an average of approximately 10
abstracts per science staff member. In demonstration of their international stature and demand, LPI scientists
received 30 invitations to present their research results at various forums around the world (APPENDIX III).
Finally, LPI scientists continue to expand their broad base of competitively awarded support, primarily through
NASA ROSES opportunities, with 35 active awards, including 10 beginning in FY2014, and an additional 16
pending decision (APPENDIX IV).
Impacts of Research Excellence
LPI maintains its strong support of NASA’s exploration research, outreach, and education programs. As
noted above, our scientists and postdoctoral fellows were very active in communicating their research
activities at professional meetings (APPENDICES II and III). Five of our scientists continued their
engagement in NASA missions, including the Mars Science Lander (Dr. Treiman), GRAIL (Drs. Kiefer and
McGovern), Cassini (Dr. Schenk), Dawn (Drs. Kiefer and Schenk), and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter
(Dr. Spudis). Additionally, Dr. Byrnes, one of LPI’s postdoctoral fellows, is a Team Associate on the
MESSENGER mission; his duties include planning and selection of targets for the XM2 low altitude
imaging campaign. Seven staff scientists also sit on NASA exploration and analysis groups such as
VEXAG, CAPTEM, MEPAG, LEAG, and OPAG. In cooperation with the NASA Johnson Space Center, LPI
organized and convened the 45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, the premier conference of
the international planetary research community. And, as shown in APPENDIX V, LPI science staff
members assisted in organizing 15 other workshops, conferences, and special sessions during this
performance period.
APPENDIX V summarizes the depth and breadth of services to NASA and the planetary sciences
community contributed by the LPI science staff. NASA called on LPI scientists and postdoctoral fellows
numerous times over the past year to provide highly qualified expertise to their research proposal review
panels. In addition, publishing houses across the globe relied upon LPI researchers on more than 50
occasions to act as editors or reviewers for their publications.
Development and Training
LPI continues to play a vital role in attracting, training, and nurturing the planetary science community of
tomorrow through its many K–16 educational outreach activities (APPENDIX VI), undergraduate
internships (APPENDIX VII), postdoctoral fellow support, and public learning opportunities.
The LPI Postdoctoral Fellow Program has a strong record of providing opportunities for postdoctoral
fellows to broaden their skill sets and prepare for the next stage in their careers. In FY2014, LPI
supported 16 postdoctoral fellows (of which 50% were female). Nine postdoctoral fellows have since
3
moved on from LPI during this period and found continuing work in their research areas in mostly
permanent positions.
The JSC/LPI Summer Undergraduate Research Program in planetary science hosts an annual 10-week
program, competitively selected from over 800 college undergraduate applicants. This year’s program
ran from June 2, 2014 through August 8, 2014. The program’s scientific advisors were Drs. Paul Spudis
of the LPI and Dave Draper of NASA Johnson Space Center. This year’s intern roster was composed of six
male and six female undergraduate students from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and
Slovakia. Each intern worked one-on-one with the individual scientific advisor, either at LPI or at NASA
Johnson Space Center.
The program provides interns an opportunity to be involved in research in lunar and planetary science,
including such fields as remote sensing, image processing, geologic mapping, surface processes, impact
studies, geophysics, meteorites and lunar sample analysis. In addition to their individual projects, the
interns participate in special activities, including tours of the Stardust Lab, the Lunar Curatorial Facility,
the Meteorite Curatorial Facility, and the Nutritional Biochemistry Lab. Interns are invited to participate
in the Grant Writers Seminar and Workshop which is a one-day training on proposal writing held
annually at LPI. Interns also attend weekly Brown Bag Seminars (APPENDIX VIII), given by one of the LPI
or JSC scientists. In addition, this year’s interns attended a special seminar given by NASA astronaut,
Don Pettit.
The 2014 JSC/LPI Summer Undergraduate Research Program ended on a successful note with
presentation of results at the 30th Annual Summer Intern Conference held at USRA on August 7, 2014.
Several of this year’s intern projects will be formally presented at the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science
Conference, to be held in March 2015, and at other national scientific meetings over the coming year.
Service
The LPI service organization is responsible for a variety of functions, including conference and workshop
coordination, publications, scientist resources such as the LPI Seminar Series (APPENDIX VIII), the
library, the NASA Regional Planetary Image Facility (APPENDIX IX), the LPI website
(http://www.lpi.usra.edu/), and a range of electronic tools to enhance planetary science activities and
effective communication within the planetary science community.
During this reporting period, the Meeting and Publication Services (MPS) group organized 17 workshops
and conferences for the planetary science community (APPENDIX X). While many of these meetings
were modest in size, a number of them had attendance exceeding 100 participants. More
enhancements were added to the online Program Committee System tool, providing more flexibility and
a more intuitive interface for the committee members to arrange the session schedule and construct the
final meeting program. Enhancements were also added to other areas of the USRA Meeting Portal,
improving the usability of the personal scheduling tool, which allows meeting participants to construct a
personal program schedule for larger conferences with multiple parallel technical sessions, and allowing
poster presenters to upload e-posters. This year marked the 45th Lunar and Planetary Science
Conference (LPSC), which was held for the sixth time at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and
Convention Center just north of Houston. While this year’s LPSC participation numbers (1934 abstracts
submitted; 1709 attendees from 33 countries) were down slightly from the previous two years, they
reflected a return to the traditional growth pattern experienced for this conference, rather than the
4
anomalous spike in participation experienced in 2012 and 2013. Once again student attendance made
up more than 31% of the overall number of participants, reflecting that LPSC continues to be a meeting
that is both accessible and important to young scientists. In its seventh year, the LPI Career
Development Awards attracted 88 applications, awarding 14 travel stipends to students from the United
States, India, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The winners of the stipends were again recruited to
work at the LPSC poster session and registration desk, reducing staffing costs while providing the young
scientists with an opportunity to meet a large cross-section of the planetary science community.
During this reporting period, Renée Dotson and other members of the MPS group completed prepress
services for Comparative Climatology on Terrestrial Planets, which was published in the prestigious
Space Science Series of the University of Arizona Press. The 610-page volume was released in late
December 2013. The MPS group also provided prepress work on the next volume in the series,
Protostars and Planets VI, which is scheduled for release in November 2014. The collaborative
agreement between the University of Arizona Press and the LPI serves to keep the price of these
invaluable volumes affordable to graduate students and other researchers.
The LPI staff also completed three issues of the Lunar and Planetary Information Bulletin (LPIB), a
quarterly newsletter that provides updates to the planetary science community, educators, and the
general public about the latest news from missions; resources for researchers; internship opportunities
for students; scientific awards; education and public outreach events; new books, DVDs, games and
other products available from a variety of publishers; tributes to recently deceased members of the
scientific community, and a calendar of upcoming scientific workshops and conferences. Beginning with
Issue No. 137 (June 2014), the LPIB is also offered in eBook format, providing more accessibility and
additional viewing options using iOS devices, Kindles, and Nooks. The LPIB is available on the LPI website
at http://www.lpi.usra.edu/publications/newsletters/lpib/.
LPI Department of Education and Public Outreach
The Lunar and Planetary Institute (LPI) Department of Education and Public Outreach (E/PO) addresses
national priorities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education: improving STEM
teacher training, increasing and sustaining youth and public engagement in STEM, and better serving
groups historically underrepresented in STEM fields. Toward these priorities, LPI’s education and
outreach efforts promote science literacy and engage the public, build capacity of educators to reach
their audiences, and engage scientists in education and public outreach (APPENDIX XI).
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/education/
Personnel
The E/PO Department is led by Dr. Stephanie Shipp, with Education Specialist Ms. Christine Shupla
assisting in managing the team. The team includes Education Specialists Ms. Heather Dalton, Ms.
Andrea Jones (located at Goddard Space Flight Center), Ms. Keliann LaConte, Mr. Andrew Shaner,
Education Assistant Ms. Yolanda Ballard, Multimedia Specialist Mr. John Blackwell, Special Programs
Coordinator Dr. Jancy McPhee, and Program Coordinator Ms. Julie Tygielski. In July 2014, Education
Specialist Ms. Brooke Hsu left LPI to assume a management position with the WFIRST mission.

APPENDIX IX: NASA Regional Planetary Image Facility
The NASA Regional Planetary Image Facility (RPIF) at the Lunar and Planetary Institute, one of the first
established, is led by LPI Senior Staff Scientist Dr. Paul Spudis. As RPIF Director, Dr. Spudis provides
overall direction of the facility, interfaces with NASA program management, and serves on the RPIF
Board of Directors. LPI is part of the RPIF network and collaborates with both domestic and international
members of the network. Each facility supports a RPIF Manager charged with day-to-day management
of the facility. The LPI’s RPIF Manager served as the representative at the RPIF Program Review and
participated in the GIS training in December 2013 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. The annual
review resulted in the development of a five year network plan of direction. The LPI developed,
enhanced, and now hosts the newly expanded website that displays a cross section of RPIF network
activities and programs in support of the RPIF five year plan.
As a RPIF, LPI maintains an open‐access policy
for users and is available to the public during
normal business hours. To reach interested
users beyond the walls of the building, the
RPIF/Library has made efforts to utilize tools
such as website development, social media,
and Wikipedia to provide access to the rich
resources within the facility. As part of the
effort to expand our reach, we now have over
1500 images on the LPI Flickr site with over
800,000 views to date. As an interactive site,
viewers can leave comments or tag an image
with their keywords for easy retrieval. The
The RPIF is a repository of important resources
tagging allows individual researchers,
accessible to the broader scientific community.
educators, or curious visitors to stumble upon
planetary images in unexpected ways. We
have established an LPI presence on other social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest,
Google+ and are developing a new YouTube channel. Our presence on all these social media sites
focuses on planetary science in general and LPI activities specifically. Our Facebook presence has over
12,000 followers and our Google+ has over 75,000 views that are rapidly increasing. Although most of
the media interest is from the United States, there also are a large number of interested followers and
fans from India, Brazil, Italy, United Kingdom, Philippines, and Mexico. We have evaluated and selected
a social media management tool to streamline postings and management of our various social media
efforts to increase efficiency.
In addition to social media, we utilize the LPI website to share the RPIF/Library resources and materials
(http://www.lpi.usra.edu/library/RPIF/). We have digitized and posted key parts of the collection
including the extensive map collection, books, documents, and imagery. This year we prepared,
scanned, and developed a webpage featuring LPI’s collection of Lunar Surveyor maps and press release
images. The first Surveyor mission launched in May of 1966 and the program concluded with the final
mission, Surveyor 7, in 1968. The Surveyor landers were the first U. S. spacecraft to successfully soft land
on the Moon. Not only do these missions provide a snapshot in time but also contain valuable
information about the local regolith depth and strength. Now these maps and images are open to all.
56
As a continuation of our support to the science
community, the Library is participating in the
Apollo Lunar Surface Experiment Program
(ALSEP) restoration project. From July 1969 and
December 1972, the Apollo astronauts deployed
science instruments at each of the six lunar
landing sites. The data collected from these
instruments remains a unique set and is not
duplicated by any orbital mission data. At the
end of the Apollo era, documents from the
Apollo missions were transferred to LPI for
retention and these same documents are
playing a key role in the restoration of the ALSEP
data. These ALSEP‐related documents have
been scanned and cataloged for access on the
LPI website. To date we have approximately 675
Surveyor lunar photo maps can be viewed and
documents online with over 33,000 pages
downloaded on the LPI RPIF website.
available to support the restoration efforts. We
have an additional hundred documents in the

APPENDIX XI: LPI Department of Education and Public Outreach
Building Capacity of Educators
The LPI E/PO team conducts numerous dayand week-long trainings during the year,
locally and nationally, often in collaboration
with partners. Shupla leads professional
development for Formal Education, and
LaConte leads Informal Education efforts.
Trainings are designed based on audience
need, are tied to the Next Generation Science
Standards and Standards for Professional
Development of Teachers of Science, and

educational research. All trainings are
evaluated, either by an external evaluator, or
Blackwell, USRA
through staff-administered pre- and postcontent tests and training perceptions surveys. In general, LPI’s trainings are rated as highly successful
by participants. In FY2014, over 1260 teachers were trained in 29 professional development sessions,
with many educators attending multiple sessions; and approximately 215 informal educators at libraries,
parks, museums, and camps were trained in online and in-person sessions. Overviews of 2014 program
activity are presented below.
ChemCam / Mars Science Laboratory Mission Educator Training – LPI, led by Shaner, conducted a 4-day
high school teacher training: Mars Through Time, held at the University of New Mexico. Using the
history of Mars exploration as a framework, 19 high school science teachers built their understanding of
the Martian environment while exploring how advances in technology contributed to scientists’
changing understanding of Mars. The participants conducted standards-aligned classroom activities
addressing robotic exploration, impact cratering, spectroscopy, and meteorology. Intermixed with the
activities, teachers discussed the nature and practices of science. Mars mission scientists gave
presentations on their research and our current understanding of Mars.
www.lpi.usra.edu/education/workshops/mars/2014
Explore! Program – Since 1998, the Explore Program has provided materials and training for children’s
and youth librarians and other informal educators to support them in making Earth and space science
accessible and engaging to their communities. In FY2014, approximately 130 informal educators at
libraries, parks, and camps were trained in several online sessions offered in partnership with the
American Library Association, a library system in Louisiana, the Earth to Sky Interagency Partnership,
and the American Camp Association. Two in-person workshops presented at the American Camp
Association’s national meeting for 60 informal educators featured planetary science activities as well as
earth science, astrophysics, and heliophysics activities. www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explore
Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) Mission Formal Education Programs – The LRO Formal Education
program, led by Jones, featured the Lunar Workshops for Educators (LWE) professional development
series. Fifty grade 6–9 science teachers learned about lunar science and exploration in three separate
week-long LWE teacher trainings conducted at Goddard. Participants gained tools to help address
60
common student misconceptions about the Moon, heard about the latest research results from LRO
scientists, worked with data from LRO and other lunar missions, and learned how to bring these data to
their students using hands-on activities aligned with grade 6–12 National Science Education Standards
and Benchmarks. External evaluations are being conducted by Planetary Science Institute’s Dr. Sanlyn
Buxner. lro.gsfc.nasa.gov/lwe
MAVEN Invisible Mars Sessions – LPI helped to design a Science On a Sphere (SOS) module, Invisible
Mars, and provided trainings for SOS network members in FY2014, including a training at the MAVEN
launch for 15 SOS informal educators and another for 10 informal educators at the NOAA SOS network
meeting.
Solar System Exploration Virtual Institute (SSERVI)
Training for Pre-Service Teachers – As part of the Johns
Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) SSERVI E/PO
Efforts, LPI, led by Shupla, designed and implemented a
week-long training for middle school pre-service
teachers and teacher mentors. Sixteen science teachers
spent a week at LPI, learning about solar system scales,
seasons, the Moon, objects in the solar system, and how
we explore the solar system. Participants interacted
daily with scientists, toured research facilities at Johnson
Space Center, undertook hands-on activities, and
planned and led activities on the final day for family
audiences during an open house. The training received
high ratings on all counts by the participants, with an
overall rating of 4.7 on a scale of 1 (poor) to 5
(excellent). www.lpi.usra.edu/education/workshops/SSE

Sustainable Trainer Engagement Program for Earth and Space Science (STEP) – A 2012 grant from NASA
allows LPI, working with the Harris County Department of Education and nine Earth and space scientists,
to provide in-depth Earth and space science content for 6–8th grade science specialists and lead
teachers. Over several years, this extended professional development will result a sustainable
Community of Practice, preparing participants to provide training and continued support in Earth and
space science for middle school science teachers in their schools and districts. In FY2014, the second
cohort of STEP members received 10 additional days of training, along with additional opportunities to
interact with the scientists who are mentoring them, and 3 days to discuss professional development
implementation. Both cohorts had opportunities to assist with workshops, including 4 days of
professional development conducted at Harris County Department of Education and 13 workshops held
during the 2013 Conference for the Advancement of Science Teaching (CAST) in Houston, Texas.
External evaluations are being conducted by Harris County Department of Education; results are
extremely positive. www.lpi.usra.edu/education/step2012
Youth and Public Engagement in STEM
Cosmic Explorations Lecture Series – LPI offers an annual lecture series, led by Shaner, designed to
engage inquisitive adult members of the general public in current relevant topics in space science. The
FY2014 topic (The Universe is Out to Get Us and What We Can (or Can't) Do About It) began in
61
September 2013. A total of 780 visitors attended the FY2014 lectures.
www.lpi.usra.edu/education/lectures
Higher Education Efforts – LPI, led by Shaner, conducted with the 2014 YSS Undergraduate Research
Conference during the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. Forty-four undergraduate students
participated in panel discussions with professionals regarding graduate school selection, women in
planetary science, and alternative careers in science. Students also showcased their research to each
other during a poster session. The following day, many students participated in the meeting mentors
program in which they spent the first day of the conference with a scientist-mentor. This time was spent
learning how to successfully navigate a conference such as LPSC.
International Humans in Space Art – LPI, led by McPhee, organizes this competition which invites various
audiences to submit visual, literary, musical and video artwork expressing their vision. The winning
artwork is woven into displays and performances designed to relay the youth artists’ messages to other
young people and adults around the world. In FY2014, selected youth artwork has been displayed in
over 19 venues around the world, and a video challenge for college students and early career
professionals has been initiated. www.lpi.usra.edu/humansinspaceart
International Observe the Moon Night (InOMN) – LPI
partners with several organizations to design,
implement, and host InOMN events. LPI oversees the
InOMN website. InOMN events were held in
September 2014 and are planned for September 19,
2015. observethemoonnight.org

2009 and 2012, the program reached 232 students
and 21 teachers in 19 schools across the U.S.; 12 of these schools serve underserved, rural or
underrepresented, minority populations. The project resulted in 17 NASA Lunar Science Forum
conference poster presentations, including three award-winning posters, an oral science presentation at
the 2013 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, and one paper published in the professional journal
Icarus in January 2014. The program has been extended in 2014 and revised to include asteroids as the
Exploration of the Moon and Asteroids by Secondary Students (ExMASS) which has 10 student teams
from across the United States beginning their research for the 2014–2015 year. An estimated 300
students and teachers are anticipated to be reached through this program in the coming 5 years.
www.lpi.usra.edu/nlsi/education/hsResearch
Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) / Mars Science Laboratory Mission – The LPI-based SAM E/PO team, led
by Jones, shares Mars science through a variety of products and programs. In FY2014, Jones helped to
organize and lead MarsFest, a celebration attended by hundreds of the public, inviting them to learn
more about the connections between Death Valley and planetary science and exploration, particularly in
relation to Mars research. ssed.gsfc.nasa.gov/sam

participating. In FY2014, three SkyFest events
were held at USRA, with a total of approximately 521 members of the general public. Additionally, LPI
conducted a SkyFest event offsite at the Pasadena library for 56 visitors, and assisted with the
Astronomy Day at the George Observatory, which is supported by several Houston-based astronomy
clubs, by presenting activities. www.lpi.usra.edu/education/skyFest
Education Resources
LPI Educator Loans – LPI has a traditional portable planetarium that the education team uses for select
events, but also makes available for educators to borrow. In FY2014, it was loaned to 7 Houston-area
educators, who used it to share the night sky and constellations, lunar phases, and seasons with over
2830 students and families. LPI also has 7 traveling exhibits, designed to engage the general public in
lunar science and exploration, and to share NLSI research, are available for loan to libraries, science
centers, planetariums and other informal learning institutions serving primarily underserved and underrepresented audiences. The exhibits include how the Moon formed, the scientific relevance of lunar
exploration, and lunar craters. In FY2014, in addition to being presented at science conferences and
events at LPI, approximately 20 organizations borrowed the exhibits, which were shown to well over
44,570 visitors. www.lpi.usra.edu/nlsi/education/exhibits
LPI Online Resources – LPI has revised its education website (www.lpi.usra.edu/education) to include a
searchable database for LPI education activities and resources (www.lpi.usra.edu/education/resources),
as well as information about our partners, research-based best practices in professional development,
and key findings from LPI program evaluation. The searchable activities database will be expanded in
FY15 to include searches by Next Generation Science Standards. LPI also has online news for educators
(www.lpi.usra.edu/education/resources/news), an email list service with news for librarians
(www.lpi.usra.edu/education/explore/community_corner), and planetary news for scientists and the
E/PO community (www.lpi.usra.edu/planetary_news).
In FY2014, LPI developed a “one-stop” thematic online portal, Look Up, for resources tailored for specific
audiences. LPI meets the varying needs of individual audiences by presenting resources designed
specifically for librarians, camp providers, parents, classroom teachers, faculty, and others. Each set of
63
resources focuses on “teachable moments” related to upcoming mission and celestial opportunities,
such as Comet Siding Spring’s recent near pass of Mars and lunar and solar eclipses in October 2014.
Accompanying the audience-specific guides are pointers to other LPI and SMD resources, activities,
multimedia, and social media so that educators can design the experience to be appropriate for their
programs. Advertised through partners, this new resource allows audiences to be aware of upcoming
events and bring them to their audiences with appropriate resources and content.
www.lpi.usra.edu/education/look_up
