Summary: | The conference is designed to highlight and define the current state of Mars polar research, pulling together expertise from many fields, including geology, atmospheric science, and climate science. The focus will also be on terrestrial analogs that can enhance our interpretation of remote sensing data from Mars, and on concepts for future missions. Institutional support York University, Planetary Science Institute, Centro Austral de Investigaciones Cientificas (CADIC-CONICET), University of Bern, International Association of Cryospheric Sciences, International Association of Geomorphologists, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Universities Space Research Association.
