Abstract:We tested rover science operations strategies to determine best practices for interrogating geologic sections where the bulk composition is igneous but depositional/emplacement processes range from sedimentary to volcanic. This scenario may mirror locations on Mars interrogated by mobile vehicles (e.g., Perseverance rover in Jezero crater). Two field teams studied a 60 m vertical outcrop on Iceland’s Tjörnes peninsula as an analog for a Martian site containing interleaved layers of sedimentary and volcanic uni… Show more
