Analytical Chemistry In-situ
planetary chemical analysis in extreme environments focused on unraveling fundamental questions in
planetary & environmental science. Use of in-situ autonomous chemical analysis
systems to study Mars, Earth, and other planetary bodies, their geochemistry,
mineralogy, environments, and potential for supporting past or present life.
Astrobiology and concepts for unambiguous
identification of
microbial life or their chemical signatures in extraterrestrial
environments.
