Kate Stack Morgan
Kate Stack Morgan is a Deputy Project Scientist for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.[1] She earned a bachelor's in science focusing on geoscience from Williams College and a master's and doctorate in geology from California Institute of Technology. Her research interests are focused on the sedimentary rock records of Mars,[2] in particular studying past surface processes to better understand the habitability of ancient Mars. Her interest in space and science was sparked by her parents at a young age, as they encouraged her to take an interest in space and astronomy.[3] She has been a member of the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Science Team since 2012.[4] During the Mars mission, the Perseverance rover landed on Mars with the goal of searching for ancient life and collecting samples of rock and regolith for eventual return to Earth.[5] Morgan and her team found evidence for potential habitable conditions and stated that they were optimistic that life could have existed on Mars in the ancient past.[6] She won the NASA Early Career Public Achievement Medal and the JPL Explorer Award in 2022.[7] For her work on the Curiosity (rover) she was named to the 2013 Forbes' list of 30 under 30. [8] Some of her on-screen credits include 60 Minutes and Cronkite News.
