We are continuing our work at Shaler on Mars.
Meanwhile, one of the important research aspects of MSL and Mars research generally is to identify analogue sites on Earth. Studying similar terrains on Earth can help us to understand Yellowknife Bay. This weekend a group of us from Leicester University, together with Dr Susanne Schwenzer from the Open University, went on a field trip to sample areas in the southwest UK – mudstones with sulphate veining – that we are studying in parallel with the MSL research.
