'''Cristina Morea Dalle Ore''' (born 1958){{r|jpl}} is a [[hyperspectral imaging]] and [[remote sensing]] expert, originally from Italy. After many years as an astronomer and [[planetary scientist]], she has shifted her interests to Earth-based agricultural applications of remote sensing,{{r|sas}} as Head of Remote Science and Geospatial Intelligence for Bayer Crop Science.{{r|smau}} Her work in astronomy studied the chemical composition of objects in the [[Outer Solar System|far reaches of the Solar System]], with a special focus on [[tholin]]s,{{r|seti}} and included the discovery of [[ammonia]] on [[Pluto]], suggesting the possibility of liquid water there as well.{{r|ammonia}}

==Education and career==
Dalle Ore is originally from [[Treviso]]; astronomy was a shared interest with her father, heart surgeon Mario Morea.{{r|ia|sas}} She earned a [[laurea]] in astronomy, the Italian equivalent of a master's degree, from the [[University of Padua]], in 1987.{{r|cv}} After beginning her graduate studies with [[Sandra Faber]] at the [[University of California, Santa Cruz]], she was pulled away to Boston by her new husband's job there. After spending nine years raising three children and studying spectroscopy at [[Harvard University]], she returned to UC Santa Cruz to complete her Ph.D.{{r|sas}} Her 1997 dissertation, ''A critical examination of stellar atmosphere theory for metal-poor K-giant stars'', was supervised by Faber.{{r|"*****"}}

Despite her early research focus on stars, a chance social connection with planetary scientist [[Dale Cruikshank]] led her to a position studying the Solar System as a research scientist for the [[SETI Institute]] and [[NASA Ames Research Center]].{{r|sas}} She worked there beginning in 1996, with a stint as a lecturer at UC Santa Cruz from 2007 to 2008,{{r|cv}} until taking her present position at Bayer Crop Science.{{r|smau}}

==Recognition==
Minor planets [[25945 Moreadalleore]] and [[151351 Dalleore]] are named for Dalle Ore.{{r|jpl}}
