6th international conference on Mars polar science and exploration: Conference summary and five top questions
Publisher DOI
Abstract
We provide a historical context of the International Conference on Mars Polar Science and Exploration and summarize the proceedings from the 6th iteration of this meeting. In particular, we identify five key Mars polar science questions based primarily on presentations and discussions at the conference and discuss the overlap between some
of those questions. We briefly describe the seven scientific field trips that were offered at the conference, which greatly supplemented conference discussion of Mars polar processes and landforms. We end with suggestions for measurements, modeling, and
laboratory and field work that were highlighted during conference discussion as necessary steps to address key knowledge gaps.
