Event details
Abstract
We will review what we know about the occurrence of Fe and the CHNOPS elements in Mars on the basis of meteorite, orbital and lander observations. We will look for evidence of elemental cycling in their mineralogical and their redox state records. Possible future observations to better assess such cycling will be discussed.
