Hypotheses for near-surface exchange of methane on Mars [PDF]
The Curiosity rover recently detected a background of 0.7 ppb and spikes of 7 ppb of methane on Mars. This in situ measurement reorients our understanding of the Martian environment and its potential for life, as the current theories do not entail any ...

ABSTRACT Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs are often developed in the Global North and applied in the Global South with minimal input from local Southern stakeholders. This may lead to a limited understanding of Southern cultural contexts, making CSR programs less effective.

Bacillus subtilis Spore Resistance to Simulated Mars Surface Conditions
In a Mars exploration scenario, knowing if and how highly resistant Bacillus subtilis spores would survive on the Martian surface is crucial to design planetary protection measures and avoid false positives in life-detection experiments.

Petrologic constraints on the pressure, temperature, time and composition of the Martian interior [PDF]
Petrologic analysis of surface samples has been used to deduce pressure and temperature conditions existing in the crust and upper mantle at specific times in the Earth's history, as well as to estimate the chemical and mineralogical composition of the ...

Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

ARAMIS: a Martian radiative environment model built from GEANT4 simulations
A new model of the Martian surface radiative environment has been built: Atmospheric RAdiation Model for Ionizing spectra on martian Surface (ARAMIS). Based on Monte Carlo calculations, it offers high computational flexibility for surface flux spectra ...

Chalcophile Element Constraints on the Sulfur Content of the Martian Mantle [PDF]
The sulfur content of the Martian mantle is critical to understanding volcanic volatiles supplied to the surface of Mars and possibly climate. In the absence of Martian mantle rocks, sulfur content of the mantle has been inferred from S contents of ...

A Goniometric System for Photometric and Polarization Measurements of Planetary Regolith Analogs
Abstract The Planetary Surface Texture Laboratory at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory is a facility for the study of the photometric and polarization behavior of regolith analogs using an ∼1.5‐m‐radius arc goniometer system. This system characterizes the photometric and polarization response of granular materials (planetary ...
