Research Interests
Dr. Marshall's research background is in magnetospheric physics, with an
emphasis on the development of instruments to analyze charged particle
populations in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere, as well as the
atmospheres of comets and of other planets. Her current research interest
is primarily physics education, with a speciality in physics education
for future elementary school teachers and other non-science majors. She
currently holds an NSF grant to develop and evaluate the effectiveness
of a hands-on, inquiry-based curriculum for the introductory general physics
survey course
Service Interests
Dr. Marshall serves on the USU Women and Gender Research Institute Steering
Committee, the Expanding Your Horizons Program Committee, the Physics Department
colloquium committee, the College of Science graduation committee, and
