Purpose
The first goal is to characterize ground ice and glaciers on Mars at Phlegra Montes with geospatial mapping and ground penetrating radar. This supports the Canadian Space Agency's goal of locating and characterizing ground ice in Mars in preparation for future human exploration. The second goal is to characterize two types of sediment at the rim of Valles Marineris – an tectonic rift through an ancient volcanic province. These types of sediment tell us about ancient activity of water and the ancient climate of Mars. Both portions will use data from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, on which PI Smith is a Co-Investigator.
