A Petrologic Approach to Assessing Ancient Habitability of Mars at the Microscale
Abstract
We highlight a petrologically based approach based on multispectral microscopic imaging and thin section petrography, to explore for evidence of microscale habitable zones on Mars, focusing on terrestrial hydrothermal deposits as compositional and process analogs.
