Exploration of Mars for Habitable Environments and Life

Recent Mars missions have discovered fascinating landscapes as well as chemicals and minerals formed by the action of liquid water. Mars could have been habitable sometime in the past, and liquid water might persist in some subsurface environments today. Dr. Des Marais will discuss recent missions and discoveries that are helping to identify the most promising places to search for evidence of life.
