Jiganesh's project involves applying several processing steps to raw images from Galileo satellite probes of Jupiter. Patel will prepare the images for spectral analysis and evaluate the geological significance of the data. The information will be used to determine the nature of the geological events that create grooves similar to those found on two of Jupiter's large moons.
