Work

[edit]

Wood's research involved thepetrological study ofchondriticmeteorites towards an understanding of the origin of theSolar System. Wood analyzedlunar samples from theApollo 11 mission. He presented his results at the firstLunar and Planetary Science Conference in 1970.[5] In the course of his work, he developed models of theMoon's formation and its internal evolution. Wood was an investigator in the RADIG group that specified the entire workflow for the radar science data collected by theMagellan mission to Venus.[6][7] Wood chaired the Committee on Planetary and Lunar Exploration (COMPLEX) from 1999-2002,[8][9] under theSpace Studies Board of theNational Research Council.
