The Influence of Subsurface Processes on Martian Basalts: An Example of Hydrothermal and Acidic Basalt Alteration at the Skouriotissa Mine, Cyprus
Abstract
Basalts are the prevalent rock type on Mars and the products of aqueously altered basalts are of particular interest tracers or subsurface processes. We present an analogue site on Earth: the skouriotissa mine in Cyprus.
