Christopher McKay
Christopher P. McKay is a planetary scientist at NASA Ames Research Center, studying planetary atmospheres, astrobiology, and terraforming. McKay majored in physics at Florida Atlantic University, where he also studied mechanical engineering, graduating in 1975,〔Edward Silverman, "(Scientists' Paths To Eminence: What Are The Turning Points? )", ''The Scientist'', Vol:6, #2, 20 January 1992.〕 and received his PhD in astrogeophysics from the University of Colorado in 1982.〔(Chris McKay Planetary Scientist - NASA Quest )〕〔(Many Worlds Symposium )〕
==Career==
McKay has done research on planetary atmospheres, particularly the atmospheres of Titan〔e.g. (Photochemically Driven Collapse of Titan's Atmosphere ), Ralph D. Lorenz, Christopher P. McKay, and Jonathan I. Lunine, ''Science'', Vol. 275 pp. 642 - 644, 31 Jan. 1997〕 and Mars, and on the origin and evolution of life.〔(Organic Synthesis in Experimental Impact Shocks ), Christopher P. McKay and William J. Borucki, ''Science'', Vo. 276 pp. 390-392, 18 April 1997〕 He is a co-investigator on the Huygens probe, the Mars Phoenix lander, and the Mars Science Laboratory. He also performed field research on extremophiles, in such locations as Death Valley, the Atacama Desert,〔(Microbial Life in the Atacama Desert ), R. M. Maier, K. P. Drees, J. W. Neilson, D. A. Henderson, J. Quade, J. L. Betancourt;, Rafael Navarro-Gonzalez, Fred A. Rainey, and Christopher P. McKay, ''Science'', Vol. 306 pp. 1289-1290, 19 November 2004〕 Axel Heiberg Island, and ice-covered lakes in Antarctica. McKay is the Principal Investigator of the proposed Icebreaker Life astrobiology mission to Mars.
He is a member of the board of directors of the Planetary Society and also works with the Mars Society, and has written and spoken on space exploration and terraforming.〔C.P. McKay and M.M. Marinova, "The Physics, Biology and Environmental Ethics of Making Mars Habitable," ''Astrobiology'' 1, 89-109 (2001).〕 He is also an adviser for the Microbes Mind Forum.〔(Microbes Mind Forum - Advisors )
