Water on Mars and Life Hardback
Edited by Tetsuya Tokano
Part of the Advances in Astrobiology and Biogeophysics series
Hardback
Description
Growing evidence, based on observations from orbiters, landers and telescopes, indicates that Mars may still have numerous hidden water reservoirs.
Moreover, from the point of view of habitability, Mars is a prime target for astrobiologists in search of extant or extinct microbial life because we know that life exists in earth’s permafrost regions, such as parts of Siberia and the Antarctic, which are the closest terrestrial analogues to Mars.
Water on Mars and Life surveys recent advances made in research into water on Mars together with its astrobiological implications.
This volume addresses not only scientists working in the field but also nonspecialists and students in search of a high-level but accessible introduction to this exciting field of research.
