Evidence of groundwater in Arabia Terra; if on Earth, could permit microbial colonization
Monica Pondrelli [Università d'Annunzio, Italy] and colleagues investigated the Equatorial Layered Deposits (ELDs) of Arabia Terra in Firsoff crater area, Mars, to understand their formation and potential habitability. [Their report appears in the Geological Society of America Bulletin.] On the … Continue reading
