Education

At the age of five years old, Harrison watched "Big Bird in Japan" and became interested in space.[1] She joined the Seattle chapter of The Mars Society, and attended the 3rd International Mars Society Conference in Toronto.[1] Tanya Harrison completed her bachelor's degree in Astronomy and Physics at the University of Washington (2006), before a Masters in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Wesleyan University (2008).[2][3] Harrison completed her PhD, "Global-Scale Studies of Martian Mid-Latitude Landforms" at the University of Western Ontario's Centre for Planetary Science and Space Exploration in 2016.[4] Alongside her postgraduate studies, Harrison worked as a public outreach assistant.[5]

Research

Harrison's research is in martian geomorphology and terrestrial analogues, spectroscopy and glaciology.[2]

Harrison took a break between her Bachelors and PhD. In 2008, Harrison became Assistant Staff Scientist at Malin Space Science Systems, after receiving a NASA scholarship.[6] Here she was on the science operation team for NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.[2] She also worked for the Mars Color Imager, the Mast Cameras and Mars Hand Lens Imager.[6] During this time, Harrison worked on science track programming for Norwescon.[7] Between 2010 and 2012 Harrison worked at The Planetary Society as web editor.[5] In 2011, Harrison was part of the team that won the NASA Group Achievement Award for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.[8] She won a second in 2013 as part of the Mars Science Laboratory Mast Camera team.[8]

Harrison won the 2014 Zonta Amelia Earhart Fellowship and Geological Society of America On to the Future Award.[9] She worked as a Research Assistant in the Centre for Planetary Science & Exploration at the University of Western Ontario.[10][11]

In 2016 she won the Geological Society of America Paul Pellas-Ryder Award.[8] That year she became a postdoctoral scholar as part of the NewSpace Initiative at Arizona State University.[12][5] She works with commercial space companies (including Blue Origin and Bigelow Aerospace).[1][13] Harrison has cited NASA's Mars Pathfinder mission as one of her biggest inspirations.[14] She was selected for [https://www.planet.com/ Planet]’s Science Ambassadors program.[15]

Public engagement

In 2017, Harrison joined a flight of scientists to watch the total solar eclipse from an aeroplane.[16][17][18] She is also a professional photographer.[19] Harrison has been involved with The Mars Society, National Space Society and Girl Scouts.[20] She has contributed to New Scientist, Gizmodo, The Weather Network and Slate.[21][22][23][24] Harrison has spoken of her struggles with harassment in the STEM workplace.[25] She regularly appears in the public discussion of astronomy.[26][27][28]
