Seminar Detail
Water on Mars
Presenter: Michael Manga ()
March 20, 2006 11:00 AM Pacific
Understanding the water cycle on a planet is essential for evaluating the suitability of different environments for supporting life. I will focus on three problems that provide constraints on both past and present volumes of water on the Martian surface and within the Martian crust:
1) Can groundwater be discharged fast enough to make outflow channels?
2) What are the hydrological effects of large impacts?
3) Were there large oceans on Mars?Participation Instructions

The Director’s Seminar series features talks from scientists who are invited by the NAI Director to present their research results to the community. A primary goal of the seminars is to encourage interdisciplinary collaboration across NAI teams and within the astrobiology community at large.
Team Overview Seminars describe the work of the fourteen NAI teams and NAI Central. They offer an opportunity to find out more about the science, E/PO and other activities being performed by the NAI teams and the NAI Central office.
The Forum for Astrobiology Research (FAR) provides an opportunity for graduate students to present their research results and to meet as a student community for networking and mutual support.
The University of Washington seminar series is hosted by the NAI Virtual Planetary Lab (VPL) team from the UW campus in Seattle.
