Conference on the Geophysical Detection of Subsurface Water on Mars: Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston, Texas, August 6-10, 2001

The primary goal of the conference is to identify the most direct, unambiguous, and cost-effective approach to assessing the three-dimensional distribution and state of water within the martian crust — at a resolution sufficient to permit reaching any desired volatile target by drilling. Lunar and P...
