Patrick McGuire's Personal Home Page

From 2009-2011, I worked at the University of Chicago, in the Dept. of Geophysical Sciences, where I focused on estimating the impacts of global warming upon deposits of methane hydrates under the sea. I also developed and taught a course on the "Science of Sustainability" in the Leadership in Sustainability Management Program at the Graham School of Continuing Liberal and Professional Studies. My current scientific interests include: climate science, methane hydrates, carbon sequestration, computer vision, remote sensing, planetary science and Mars.

Previously (2000-2005), I worked in Bielefeld, Germany, where I built robots for developing human-machine cooperation, and in Madrid, Spain, where I built computer vision systems for astrobiological exploration. I moved to Saint Louis in 2005, and I was a Senior Research Fellow at the McDonnell Center for the Space Sciences. In Saint Louis, I worked on the CRISM hyperspectral imager on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, particularly on correcting CRISM's images and spectra for atmospheric effects. From 2008-2010, I was a Humboldt Research Fellow, spending part of each year at the Freie Universitaet Berlin, working on making regional maps with CRISM and OMEGA data of hydrated minerals of the martian surface, in order to understand better the paleoclimate and the current climate of Mars.
