DESCRIPTION:Title: Results from the exploration of a past habitable envir
 onments on MarsSpeaker: Sandra SiljeströmAffiliation: RISE Room: Å10
 1121 Sonja LyttkensTime: 14:00-15:00Abstract:Mars today is a cold and dry
  desert seemingly devoid of life. However\, in the past\, about 4 billion 
 years ago\, the red planet was a very different place with thicker atmosph
 ere\, flowing water on its surface and thus a much better potential to har
 bour life. The first mission to Mars to search for life\, the Viking missi
 on\, in 1975\, found neither traces of extant or extinct life nor organic 
 molecules on the surface of Mars. However\, lately the exploration of Mars
  by NASA Curiosity and Perseverance rovers have shown promising results\, 
 including the identification of at least two past habitable environments o
 n Mars in Gale and Jezero craters and the find of the building blocks of l
 ife such as organic molecules. In this seminar I will present some of the
  latest results from the exploration of Mars with the Curiosity and Persev
 erance rovers\, including the find of potential biosignatures in Jezero cr
 ater by the Perseverance rover. I will also discuss some of the future pla
 ns for exploration of Mars such as the ESA Rosalind Franklin rover and pot
 ential Mars sample return. \n\nhttps://indico.uu.se/event/2117/
