Studying Martian Igneous Samples to Constrain the Evolution of the Martian Interior
Offered By: Lunar and Planetary Institute via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of Martian geology through a comprehensive lecture on igneous samples and their role in understanding the planet's interior evolution. Delve into the insights gained from rovers, orbiters, and Martian meteorites, which provide valuable data on magmatic processes. Learn about the significance of the 215 recovered Martian meteorites and how they've contributed to unraveling the mysteries of the Martian crust and mantle. Discover the latest findings from Perseverance's exploration of Jezero crater, including analyses of the igneous Máaz and Séítah formations. Gain a deeper understanding of current sample collections, identify gaps in our knowledge, and explore how future Jezero igneous samples will enhance our comprehension of Mars' interior structure and evolution.
