Biography
Dr. Cline is a scientist working in the Experimental Impact
Laboratory (EIL) at NASA Johnson Space Center. His research interests are
mainly focused on the deformation of materials through a large span of temporal
and spatial scales. This ranges from seeking to understand the influence that crystalline
defects have on creep mechanisms in minerals at extreme conditions, to investigating
the physical process of impact crater formation. His current work in the EIL involves
conducting impact experiments to assess the role that physical properties have on
ejecta kinematics, as well as the morphology and morphometry of craters.
