Radar sounding of ice sheets and glaciers on Mars

Séminaire IPAG de Jeffrey J. Plaut (Jet Propulsion Laboratory & Caltech), mercredi 16 mai 2018 à 11h00, salle Manuel Forestini IPAG

For over 12 years radar sounding from Mars orbit has been used to probe the interior of the Red Planet’s ice sheets and glaciers. These observations have provided new perspectives on the history of Martian water and climate. This talk will present an overview of the discoveries made by radar and an update on the most recent research.
