Abstract The potential of multi‐spectral investigations for planetary exploration strongly depends on the specific geologic environment and related science questions. In this work, we used a visible‐near infrared spectrometer, a laser‐induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument, and a Raman spectrometer for studying acid alteration of volcanic ...

Over the last two decades, conspicuously “biogenic-looking” corrosion microtextures have been found to occur globally within volcanic glass of the in situ oceanic crust, ophiolites, and greenstone belts dating back to ~3.5 Ga.

The Link Between Subsurface Rheology and Ejecta Mobility: The Case of Small New Impacts on Mars
Abstract The dynamics of crater ejecta are sensitive to the material properties of the target, much like the crater size and morphology. We isolate and quantify the effect of target properties on the ejecta mobility (EM) ‐ the maximum radial extent of ejecta scaled by the crater radius.

Abstract This work presents geomorphological analyses of an area at the boundary between Arcadia Planitia and northern Amazonis Planitia, situated in the northern mid‐latitudes of Mars. Recent studies have indicated the presence of substantial volumes of near‐surface excess ice in Arcadia Planitia, making this region a promising candidate for future ...

Origins and Alteration of Ediacaran Carbonates Recording the Shuram Excursion in Oman
Abstract The Shuram excursion is the largest known negative carbon isotope excursion in Earth's history. Recognized globally, it follows the Ediacaran Gaskiers glaciation and precedes a marked increase in the diversity and complexity of the earliest macroscopic multicellular organisms in the fossil record.

Exobiology issues and experiments at a Mars base [PDF]
Research in Exobiology, the study of the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe, may be a major component of the science activities at a Mars Base.

Abstract Previous studies reported megadroughts in southwestern North America during the Medieval Climate Anomaly and subsequent periods. However, previous local records challenge traditional tree‐ring based indices. Through mineralogical analyses of Deep Springs Lake sediments in California, we examined carbonate mineral assemblages as novel ...
