Laurence A. Soderblom Biography

Voyager colour imagery reveals extensive sulfur-rich deposits and varied volcanic terrain across Io.

Voyager imagery reveals the vast multi-ring Valhalla impact structure on Callisto.

Voyager 1 images show Callisto's heavily cratered and ancient surface.

Voyager images show Enceladus has contrasting cratered and smoother terrains, implying differing geological ages.

Voyager 1 returns detailed images of Mimas dominated by the enormous Herschel impact crater.

Voyager images reveal large coronae and disrupted terrain across Miranda's unusual surface.

Voyager images reveal distinctive pitted terrain on Triton resembling the surface texture of a cantaloupe.

Voyager images reveal active geyser-like plumes erupting from Triton's surface.

Soderblom's team finds Triton plumes rising roughly eight kilometres before material is carried downwind.

Voyager imagery indicates that much of Triton's surface is geologically young and has been extensively resurfaced.

Voyager 2 images reveal Triton's distinctive dimpled terrain and complex icy geology.

Voyager 2 reveals Triton's icy surface, plumes and unusual terrain.

Voyager 2 imagery reveals active dark plumes rising above Triton's nitrogen-ice surface.

Soderblom and colleagues publish a detailed characterization of the active geyser-like plumes discovered on Triton.
