Research topics
Verifying the presence of liquid saltwater around the north pole of Mars and estimating its quality for the search for extraterrestrial life
Keyword
Summary
Martian polar regions may contain liquid brines. This study combines low-temperature, low-pressure chamber experiments with remote sensing to estimate their composition. Additionally, based on the field surveys in Earth analog sites and thermodynamic calculations, we try to predict possible microbial life, offering new insights into Mars' habitability.

Comment

I am deeply grateful for this support. I will do my best to contribute to our understanding of the surface environment and the possibility of extraterrestrial life on Mars.
