Fourth International Conference on Early Mars: Geologic, Hydrologic, and Climatic Evolution and the Implications for Life : October 2–6, 2017, Flagstaff, Arizona

Abstract

The purpose of the conference is twofold: (1) to consider how astronomical variations in insolation, impacts, volcanism, and the presence of water affected the nature of the early terrestrial and martian climates and the physical and chemical environments that existed on both planets >3.7 Ga, (2) to discuss the investigations that might be conducted by present and future missions to test the hypotheses arising from (1).
