The objective of this research is to take multiple samples of the active layer of permafrost in areas where patterned ground and thermokarst are present. The data gained will assist in understanding possible cold climate processes in the northern hemisphere of Mars.
In recent years, cold-climate landscapes on Earth have come to play an important role in understanding landscapes on Mars. This wo...
