  • Multiple stages of aqueous alteration along fractures in mudstone and sandstone strata in Gale Crater, Mars 
    Yen, A. S.; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839 (Elsevier, 2017-08-01)
    The Mars rover Curiosity in Gale crater conducted the first-ever direct chemical and mineralogical comparisons of samples that have clear parent (unaltered) and daughter (altered) relationships. The mineralogy and chemistry ...
  • Relative Humidity on Mars: New Results From the Phoenix TECP Sensor 
    Fischer, Erik; Martínez, Germán M.; Rennó, Nilton O.; Tamppari, L. K.; Zent, A. P.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5885-236X (AGU, 2019-10-21)
    We present our recalibration of Phoenix's humidity sensor. This recalibration was conducted with a copy of the sensor subjected to the environmental conditions at the Phoenix landing site. Our experiments focus on the ...
  • Sand Mineralogy Within the Bagnold Dunes, Gale Crater, as Observed In Situ and From Orbit 
    Rampe, Elizabeth; Castle, Nicholas; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0608-1249; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839 (American Geophysical Union, 2018-08-29)
    Remote sensing data from orbit indicate that wind-blown sands in the Bagnold Dune Field in Gale crater, Mars, are sorted by their composition. The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover studied the Bagnold Dune Field at ...
  • SNC meteorites: Igneous rocks from Mars? 
    Wood, Charles A.; Ashwal, Lewis D.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7277-9007 (Pergamon Press, 1981)
    All dated meteorites have formation ages of 4.4 to 4.6 b.y. (Sears, 1978), except for nine achondrites which crystallized 1.3 b.y. ago (Table 1). These meteorites-shergottites, nakhlites, and chassignites (SNC)-also differ ...
  • Toward More Realistic Simulation and Prediction of Dust Storms on Mars 
    Newman, Claire E.; Day, Mackenzie; Esposito, Francesca; Martínez, Germán M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5885-236X; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3998-7749 (2020)
    To make progress in the next decade, we make four Recommendations in order of priority: #1. Properly accommodate a minimum payload of meteorological and aeolian sensors on future Mars surface missions; #2. Continue orbital ...
  • The WISDOM Radar: Unveiling the Subsurface Beneath the ExoMars Rover and Identifying the Best Locations for Drilling 
    Ciarletti, Valérie; Clifford, Stephen Mark, 1952-; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0771-1713 (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., 2017-07-01)
    The search for evidence of past or present life on Mars is the principal objective of the 2020 ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Rover mission. If such evidence is to be found anywhere, it will most likely be in the subsurface, where ...
