    The primary goal of the conference is to identify the most direct, unambiguous, and cost-effective approach to assessing the three-dimensional distribution and state of water within the martian crust — at a resolution ...
  • The Evolution of Volcanism, Tectonics, and Volatiles on Mars: An Overview of Recent Progress 
    Zimbelman, James R.; Solomon, Sean C.; Sharpton, Virgil L.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0420-8453 (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 1991)
    Mars has been the target of a number of ambitious spacecraft missions, including the American Viking orbiters and landers in the late 1970s and, more recently, the Soviet Phobos spacecraft in 1989. Soon after the Viking ...
  • Explore Mars in augmented reality 
    Unknown author (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 2017)
    Escape to the Red Planet and interact with a 3D model of Mars. Observe the transition from a wet planet early in its history to the dry world we see today. View locations of past landing sites and the top three targets for ...
  • Field Trip and Workshop on the Martian Highlands and Mojave Desert Analogs : Las Vegas, Nevada, and Barstow, California, October 20-27, 2001

    The Mars Science Laboratory landed in Gale crater on Mars in August 2012, and the Curiosity rover then began field studies on its drive toward Mount Sharp, a central peak made of ancient sediments. CheMin is one of ten ...
  • Geochemical variation in the Stimson formation of Gale crater: Provenance, mineral sorting, and a comparison with modern Martian dunes 
    Bedford, Candice; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0783-1064; Schwenzer, Susanne Petra; Bridges, John C.; Banham, Steven; Wiens, Roger; Gasnault, Olivier M.; Rampe, Elizabeth; Frydenvang, Jens; Gasda, Patrick J.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9608-0759 (Elsevier, 2020-05)
    A ChemCam geochemical study of the ancient aeolian Stimson formation in Gale crater. The geochemical effect of mineral sorting in the ancient dunes has been preserved. The Stimson dunes were transported SW-NE, opposite to ...
  • The importance of the study of igneous rocks and compositions to constrain the Martian planetary evolution. 
    Udry, Arya; Filiberto, Justin; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5058-1905; Gross, Juliane; Schmidt, Mariek E.; Rogers, Deanne; Hausrath, Libby; Wiens, Roger; Lanza, Nina (2020-07)
    This white paper summarizes the scientific importance of studying igneous compositions in meteorites, surface samples, and through orbital analyses to better constrain the geology of Mars as a whole and better understand ...
  • Iron-rich Clay Minerals on Mars: Potential Sources or Sinks for Hydrogen and Indicators of Hydrogen Loss over Time 
    Burt, Donald M. (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 1989)
    Although direct evidence is lacking, indirect evidence suggests that iron-rich clay minerals or poorly ordered chemical equivalents ("palagonite") are widespread on the martian surface. Such clays (or other Fe and OH-bearing ...
  • MarsWRF Convective Vortex and Dust Devil Predictions for Gale Crater Over 3 Mars Years and Comparison With MSL-REMS Observations 
    Newman, Claire E.; Kahanpää, H.; Richardson, M. I.; Martínez, Germán M.; Vicente‐Retortillo, Álvaro; Lemmon, Mark T.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4553-7624; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5885-236X (AGU, 2019-11-15)
    The daytime Martian atmosphere produces convective vortices called "dust devils" when they are dust‐filled. Vortices produce rapid pressure drops, which have been detected in Gale Crater by Mars Science Laboratory instruments. ...
  • Measuring Mars Atmospheric Winds from Orbit 
    Guzewich, Scott; Abshire, James B.; Baker, M. M. (Mariah M.); Martínez, Germán M.; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5885-236X (2020-07-15)
    Wind is the process that connects Mars' climate system. Measurements of Mars atmospheric winds from orbit would dramatically advance our understanding of Mars and help prepare for human exploration of the Red Planet. ...
  • The red planet, a survey of Mars 
    Kiefer, Walter S.; Clifford, Stephen Mark, 1952-; Treiman, Allan H.; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8073-2839; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6741-5460; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0771-1713 (Lunar and Planetary Institute, 1997)
