Geology Open Night: Magmatic gas and the Martian surface: What comes out of this gassy mix? – Dr. Hanna Nekasil
Geology Open Night, October 19, 2018
ESS 001; 7:30PM
Hanna Nekvasil: “Magmatic gas and the Martian surface: What comes out of this gassy mix?”
Soil makes up the major part of the Martian surface. We would expect this soil to reflect the major igneous rock units as well as the secondary re-worked rock units observed on the surface. Yet the fine-grained material from this soil is quite different than expected. I will discuss here what role the youngest Martian lavas may have played in producing the unique compositional characteristics of the soil, by coupling experimental results and remote observations.

Developing new technologies and physics ideas go hand in hand with gaining insight into chemical dynamics. In this talk, Dr. Allison will discuss how now physicists can control light waves and even x-rays using a new type of laser called a frequency comb. Frequency combs now allow us to build the most precise atomic clocks and generate attosecond pulses of soft x-rays.
