Adriana C. Ocampo (born January 5, 1955) is a Colombian planetary geologist and a Science Program Manager at NASA Headquarters. She and her colleagues were the first to identify a ring of cenotes via satellite images, the only surface impression of the buried Chicxulub crater.[1][2] This research contributed significantly to the understanding of this impact crater.[1] Ocampo has subsequently led at least seven research expeditions to the Chicxulub site.[3][4][5] As well, in 1996, Ocampo and her colleagues discovered the Aorounga Crater Chain in Chad.[6][7] She continues to search for new impact craters, and with her team, recently reported on a possible crater near Cali, Colombia.[8] Ocampo has had an asteroid name after her in recognition of her contributions to space exploration.[9]
