Conference on Early Mars, Geologic and Hydrologic Evolution, Physical and Chemical Environments, and the Implications for Life : held at Houston, Texas, April 24-27, 1997

Abstract

Topics considered include: Geology alteration and life in an extreme environment; developing a chemical code to identify magnetic biominerals; effect of impacts on early Martin geologic evolution; spectroscopic identification of minerals in Hematite-bearing soils and sediments; exopaleontology and the search for a Fossil record on Mars; geochemical evolution of the crust of Mars; geological evolution of the early Earth; solar-wind-induced erosion of the Mars atmosphere.
