After attending the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi as an undergraduate, he chose to pursue further study at Cornell due to its tradition of involvement with spacecraft missions. Truong’s recent research on volcanic activity on Venus was picked up by numerous news sources, including The Atlantic.</em></p> <p><strong>What is your area of research and why is it important?</strong></p> <p>I study the geophysical evolution of planetary bodies in the solar system and beyond to understand which conditions make them habitable (or not). Currently, my field sites are the subsurface ocean of Enceladus and Europa, the two icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter. I use noble gases to trace the hydrological properties and constrain the lifetime of Enceladus’s ocean, which is critical to assess whether this small icy moon is inhabited. I also work on comet 67P and Venus – our mysterious sister planet. Unlike the long term paradigm, many people now think that Venus may still be recently volcanically/tectonically active. </p> <p><strong>What are the larger implications of this research?</strong></p> <p>The larger implications are understanding our own planet and the origin of life. We can’t go back in time to see the first fossils on Earth but we can test those ideas at other natural laboratories in our solar system. Enceladus, for example, has hundreds of “Cold Faithful” geysers like the Old Faithful in Yellowstone, instead erupting gases and ice grains from the subsurface ocean. We think that hydrothermal activity is still ongoing and whether or not life is there, we will learn something new about how life originated on our planet. </p> <p><strong>You were an author of “Volcanically Extruded Phosphides as an Abiotic Source of Venusian Phosphine.” What do you imagine are the larger implications of this study?</strong></p> <p>Rather than biology, our results advocate for an abiotic way to produce phosphine and suggest a roadmap to assess the level of volcanic activity on Venus. The first step is obvious: re-assess the phosphine observation. In a broader term, there are many unknowns about Venus; among them is the interaction between volcanic outgassing and the lower atmosphere/clouds – a key to understanding climate evolution and how such a planet similar in size and mass as Earth became so different from our planet. We should prepare to be surprised once we go back to Venus with new spacecraft missions!</p> <p><strong><a href="https://news.cornell.edu/stories/2021/07/trace-gas-phosphine-points-volcanic-activity-venus">This research</a> was picked up by numerous additional news sources. How do you feel knowing your research is making an impact?</strong></p> <p>It’s a great pleasure but also a bit surprising; in my life, I have never received such a massive amount of phone calls/messages like that. </p> <p><strong>What are your hobbies or interests outside of your research or scholarship?</strong></p> <p>I enjoy watching soccer and outdoor activities. Since I am from Vietnam, I finally experienced a “real winter” (not 50F in Hanoi), so I picked up some winter sports to adapt. Cornell Outdoor Education classes, such as ice climbing in the Adirondacks, were memorable experiences! </p> <p><strong>Why did you choose Cornell to pursue your degree?</strong></p> <p>Cornell has a tradition of faculty/staff/student involvement with spacecraft missions as well as the strong connection between the fields of geology and astronomy with many notable planetary scientists and astrophysicists such as Carl Sagan, Edwin Salpeter, etc. As an earth and atmospheric sciences student working in the Space Sciences building, I also enjoy a lot of interesting discussions with other grad student friends in both fields. They are smart and usually ask questions that help me to learn something new.</p> </section> </article> <div id="sidebar-bottom" class="secondary" role="complementary"> </div> </div> </main> </div> <footer> <div class="main-footer"> <div class="container-fluid sidebar-left"> <div class="row"> <div class="primary"> <h2 class="h3">Land Acknowledgement</h2><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><p>Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> (the Cayuga Nation).

The Confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> dispossession, and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> people, past and present, to these lands and waters.<br> This land acknowledgment has been reviewed and approved by the traditional Gayogo̱hó꞉nǫ<sup>Ɂ</sup> leadership. </p></div> <div class="two-col padded footer-links"> <div> <h3 class='h6'>Quick Links</h3> <ul class="list-menu vertical"><li id="menu-item-3570" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3570"><a href="https://intranet.gradschool.cornell.edu">Intranet</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3571" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3571"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/events/">Events</a></li> <li id="menu-item-124" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-124"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/resources/">Resources</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3573" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3573"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/forms/">Forms</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3574" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3574"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/policies">Policies</a></li> </ul> </div> <div> <h3 class='h6'>Affiliated Offices</h3> <ul class="list-menu vertical"><li id="menu-item-11623" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-11623"><a href="https://scl.cornell.edu/get-involved/career-services">Career Services</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3565" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3565"><a href="https://teaching.cornell.edu/">Center for Teaching Innovation</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3566" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3566"><a href="https://elso.as.cornell.edu/">English Language Support Office</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3568" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3568"><a href="https://assembly.cornell.edu/shared-governance-cornell/graduate-and-professional-student-assembly">Graduate and Professional Student Assembly</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3567" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3567"><a href="https://international.globallearning.cornell.edu/">Office of Global Learning</a></li> <li id="menu-item-3564" class="menu-item menu-item-type-custom menu-item-object-custom menu-item-3564"><a href="https://postdocs.cornell.edu/">Office of Postdoctoral Studies</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div class="secondary"> <h2 class="h5">Cornell University Graduate School</h2><div class="textwidget custom-html-widget"><p>Caldwell Hall<br>Cornell University<br>Ithaca, NY 14853-2602</p> <p>(607) 255-5820 </p> <p><a class="link-block" href="/about/contacts">Contact Us</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="sub-footer"> <div class="container-fluid sidebar-left"> <div class="row"> <div class="primary"> <ul class="list-menu"><li id="menu-item-4904" class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-4904"><a href="https://gradschool.cornell.edu/web-accessibility-and-privacy/">Web Accessibility and Privacy Help</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="secondary"> <p class="copyright"><a href="https://www.cornell.edu">Cornell University</a> © 2024</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </footer>  <script type="text/javascript"> window.ctf_custom_js = function(){ var $ = jQuery; var authorBoxLink = $('.ctf-author-box-link'); authorBoxLink.html(authorBoxLink.html().replace('>;', '> ')); }; </script> <script> ( function ( body ) { 'use strict'; body.className = body.className.replace( /\btribe-no-js\b/, 'tribe-js' ); } )( document.body ); </script> <script> /* <![CDATA[ */var tribe_l10n_datatables = {"aria":{"sort_ascending":": activate to sort column ascending","sort_descending":": activate to sort column descending"},"length_menu":"Show _MENU_ entries","empty_table":"No data available in table","info":"Showing _START_ to _END_ of _TOTAL_ entries","info_empty":"Showing 0 to 0 of 0 entries","info_filtered":"(filtered from _MAX_ total entries)","zero_records":"No matching records found","search":"Search:","all_selected_text":"All items on this page were selected.
