Diverse hydrous minerals have been identified on Mars and suggest a rich history of water-rock interactions in a variety of aqueous environments. Fe/Mg clays and …
The climatic history of Mars has been indirectly studied through the remote detection of minerals produced by chemical alteration across its surface. While the martian …
A suite of lunar materials is examined with reflectance spectroscopy. Reflectance spectroscopy is capable of collecting compositional data for planetary surfaces at high spatial resolution …
Exposure, weathering, transport, deposition, and diagenesis have profound effects on sediment on planetary surfaces and the final, observable geologic record. This thesis constrains the ways …
Water-rock reactions affect the evolution of planetary crusts and largely control their potential for habitability and biosignature preservation. Here we use data from remote sensing …
