We’ve had a great week of science and operations talks with the SHARAD radar team here at @PurdueEAPS @LifeAtPurdue, and even got to process ~in real time~ the data being sent back from Mars from our exciting Very Large Roll maneuver of the @NASA MRO spacecraft!!!
This week I'm hosting the @NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) SHARAD radar team meeting at @LifeAtPurdue @PurdueEAPS! SHARAD is a radar in orbit around Mars, provided to MRO in a partnership with @ASI_spazio, that has made amazing discoveries about Martian geology! 🛰️⛰️❄️🌋

New paper alert! 🚨🥳 @PurdueEAPS PhD candidate in my group, @riley_mcglasson, found that radar properties of ice-rich deposits around Mars' south pole indicate they are likely represented by two or more populations that experienced different ice emplacement histories. ❄️🛰️🪐🌨️
