May 23, 2008
On Sunday, NASA’s Phoenix Mars Lander is slated to touch down on the Red Planet in search of signs that water once existed there as a liquid. Texas Tech University geosciences researcher Hal Karlsson was part of a Johnson Space Center team that extracted water from Martian meteorites. Karlsson can discuss the findings of the research, published in the journal Science, and provide insights into the hydration history of Mars’ rocky surface.
