I am a planetary scientist and filmmaker. I am widely interested. To date my planetary science work has focused on the structure and composition of the atmospheres all Solar System bodies with an atmosphere (except Pluto, simply because it has not happened yet) and small bodies (Centaurs, TNO’s and comets). Find more on Research Gate (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Maarten_Roos-Serote). My filmwork, which is about half science related, can be found on my film website at https://www.lightcurvefilms.com.

I love the notion of unselfish sharing data, knowledge about data, tools how to deal with it, and finally what we learn from analysis it! Hence I think OpenPlanetary can be(come) an excellent platform for that. I am interested to help develop such tools, think about and analyse data.

I work as a free-lancer for both scientific and filmmaking activities.
