Mapping of Seasonal Bound Water Content Variations on the Martian Surface Based on the Tes Data
Introduction: Earth-based spectral observations of Mars [1-3,4,8] and results from orbital and landing missions [5-7,9,10] indicate the abundant presence H2O, OH-bearing minerals ( ferric hydroxides and oxyhydroxides, sulfates, chlorides and phyllosilicates). The salts content in the Martian regolith may vary within 8-25 vol. % [9] and the dominant salts are likely to be presented by Mg and Ca ...

متن کاملBasaltic rocks analyzed by the Spirit Rover in Gusev Crater.
The Spirit landing site in Gusev Crater on Mars contains dark, fine-grained, vesicular rocks interpreted as lavas. Pancam and Mini-Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Mini-TES) spectra suggest that all of these rocks are similar but have variable coatings and dust mantles. Magnified images of brushed and abraded rock surfaces show alteration rinds and veins. Rock interiors contain </=25% megacrysts....
متن کاملAssessing Temporal and Spatial Variations of Groundwater Quality (A case study: Kohpayeh-Segzi)
Assessing the quality of groundwater is important to ensure the sustainablesafe use of these resources. However, describing the overall water quality condition isdifficult due to the spatial variability of multiple contaminants and the wide range ofindicators (chemical, physical and biological) that could be measured. Therefore, in thiscase study, some water quality parameters including Na, Mg,...
