Workshop on Radar Investigations of Planetary and Terrestrial Environments : February 7-10. 2005, Houston, Texas

Abstract

Focuses on the capabilities of radar sounding and imaging systems to address issues such as: the subsurface geology and distribution of water on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and Europa, investigating the paleohydrology of planetary surfaces and identifying potential subsurface habitats capable of sustaining primitive life forms.Sponsored by: Lunar and Planetary Institute, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Southwest Research Institute.Conveners: Essam Heggy., Lunar and Planetary Institute, Stephen Clifford, Lunar and Planetary Institute, Tom Farr, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Cynthia Dinwiddie, Southwest Research Institute, Bob Grimm, Southwest Research Institute.PARTIAL CONTENTS: The Goldstone Solar System Radar: 1988-2003 Earth-based Mars Radar Observations / A.
