Renee Helen Reynolds

About

Renee Helen Reynolds is an Associate Professor of Practice at the University of Arizona, specializing in the study of comic books and the rhetorical history of media panics that have influenced comics-like forms since their inception. Her research focuses on fringe fan cultures and comics culture, aiming to better understand the complex relationship between consumer identities and popular culture, particularly how these identities are paradoxically characterized by both indulgence and hostility towards popular media. She earned her PhD in Rhetoric, Composition & the Teaching of English from the University of Arizona in 2018. Since beginning her teaching career in 2006, Reynolds has taught a variety of courses including literature, creative writing, first-year writing, and undergraduate research, with a focus on traditionally underrepresented populations and TRiO-funded projects. Currently, she teaches courses such as Introduction to Applied Humanities and Collaboration: A Humanities Perspective, which explore critical skills for understanding and improving the human condition, emphasizing cultural diversity, collaboration, and applied humanities practices.

• Microscopy analysis of soils at the Phoenix landing site, Mars: Classification of soil particles and description of their optical and magnetic properties

  Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · 2010-08-01 · 78 citations

  articleOpen access

  The optical microscope onboard the Phoenix spacecraft has returned color images (4 μ m pixel −1 ) of soils that were delivered to and held on various substrates. A preliminary taxonomy of Phoenix soil particles, based on color, size, and shape, identifies the following particle types [generic names in brackets]: (1) reddish fines, mostly unresolved, that are spectrally similar to (though slightly darker than) global airborne dust [ red fines ], (2) silt‐ to sand‐sized brownish grains [ brown san…

• Magnetic and optical properties of airborne dust and settling rates of dust at the Phoenix landing site

  Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · 2010-05-01 · 39 citations

  articleOpen access

  The Magnetic Properties Experiment (referred to as iSweep or Caltarget) onboard the Phoenix lander was executed in the arctic region of Mars during the mission's 152 sols lifetime. The iSweep experiment involved periodic multispectral imaging of a series of permanent ring magnets. It was designed to attract airborne magnetic dust particles to certain areas on the iSweeps thereby sorting all settling airborne particles at least to some degree according to their magnetic properties. The dust on th…

• The Phoenix Surface Stereo Imager SSI investigation

  Abstracts of Papers Submitted to the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference · 2008-10-22 · 28 citations

  article

  Introduction: The Phoenix Mars Lander will begin a 90-sol mission in Mars’ north polar terrain on 25 May 2007. A Robotic Arm (RA) on the lander will dig one or more trenches, providing soil and ice samples to two deck chemistry instruments. Through the mission, a meteorology station (MET) and Lidar will measure pressure, temperature, and boundary layer properties. This abstract describes the multispectral science camera on Phoenix, the Surface Stereo Imager (SSI). The capabilities of the SSI res…

• On-sky single-mode fiber coupling measurements at the Large Binocular Telescope

  Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2016-07-27 · 23 citations

  articleOpen access

  The demonstration of efficient single-mode fiber (SMF) coupling is a key requirement for the development of a compact, ultra-precise radial velocity (RV) spectrograph. iLocater is a next generation instrument for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) that uses adaptive optics (AO) to inject starlight into a SMF. In preparation for commissioning iLocater, a prototype SMF injection system was installed and tested at the LBT in the Y-band (0.970&ndash;1.065 <i>&mu;</i>m). This system was designed to…

• Correction to “Microscopy analysis of soils at the Phoenix landing site, Mars: Classification of soil particles and description of their optical and magnetic properties”

  Journal of Geophysical Research Atmospheres · 2010-09-01 · 16 citations

  articleOpen access

  [1] In the paper “Microscopy analysis of soils at the Phoenix landing site, Mars: Classification of soil particles and description of their optical and magnetic properties” by Goetz et al. (Journal of Geophysical Research, 115, E00E22, doi:10.1029/2009JE003437, 2010) an error appears in the first sentence of paragraph 55. The value 330°E should be 30°E.
