Glaciers and Ancient Climates on Mars: Implications for Future Exploration
Faculty Sponsor: James W. Head III
David investigated features on Mars that appeared to be the result of glacial processes in the recent geologic past and possibly the present. The implications of this research range from documenting evidence for Martian climate change to selecting suitable landing sites for future human and robotic exploration of Mars.
