Interdisciplinary research

  • Biology
  • Chemistry
  • Geology
  • Physics

Search for answers to questions such as:

  • Could Mars ever have support life?
  • Could life today be present below the surface?
  • Which processes formed the morphology of Mars?
  • What causes the oxidizing state of the surface?
  • Does the atmospheric CO2 pressure vary?
  • How did the dust on Mars become red?
