Spectroscopic Analysis of Ca-Carbonates from Utah Crystal Geyser to Support Carbonate Detection within our Solar System
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-05)
This study investigated the Utah Crystal Geyser, a unique low-temperature, CO2-rich geyser relevant to Mars, icy moons, and asteroids. Samples from the site had a range of textural and color differences; however, they ...
Spectroscopic analysis of modern Mg-carbonates from multiple mafic/ultramafic environments with relevance to Jezero crater, Mars
(University of Winnipeg, 2023-04)
The detection and presence of carbonates on Mars and within Jezero crater implies and supports an extensive aqueous history during the Noachian to early Hesperian and can help with the reconstruction of paleoenvironments. ...
