Microbial Surface Alteration in Mars-Analog Glacio-Fluvial Settings: Implications for Biosignature Detection in Returned Samples
Abstract
We report silicate bioweathering experiments on Icelandic and Antarctic glacio-fluvial sediments to determine putative inorganic biosignatures (biominerals and patterns of leached solutes) formed in glacio-volcanic terrains and regolith on Mars.
