Terrestrial Analogs 2021 (LPI Contrib. No. 2595)

Abstract

Discussions of scientific investigations of planetary analog terrains and processes, exploration strategies, and orbit-to-ground comparisons. Abstracts were solicited for topics including various planetary processes (volcanic, impact, aeolian, subaqueous, mass-wasting, glacial, tectonic, and others) as well as geophysical, geochemical, and astrobiological investigations. Discussions of field methods, sampling techniques, exploration strategies, technology applications, and ground-truthing were also solicited, as were topics related to data standardization and dissemination. In addition, the workshop aimed to address analog work that will benefit human and robotic exploration of other planetary surfaces.Conveners Lauren Edgar, Amber Gullikson, Melody Hartke, Elise Rumpf, Jim SkinnerPARTIAL CONTENTS: Fjord-Head Deltas in Finnmark, Norway: Analogs for Paleolake Fan-Deltas in Xanthe Terra, Mars / J.
