Carissimi Soci SGI,
Carissimi Soci Società Associate,
su indicazione del Dott. Francesco Salese (Centro de Astrobiologia CSIC-INTA), vi segnaliamo la call for abstract relativa alla sessione "Planetary fluvial sedimentology and stratigraphy" organizzata nell'ambito dell' International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology 2023, che si terrà a Riva del Garda (dal 2 al 7 Luglio 2023).
Cordiali saluti,
La segreteria
ICFS 2023 - PLANETARY FLUVIAL SEDIMENTOLOGY AND STRATIGRAPHY
Please consider submitting an abstract to the session on Planetary fluvial sedimentology and stratigraphy [1] at the International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology 2023 [2].
Robotic exploration and studies in Martian sedimentary geology have never been more active. Fluvial sedimentary processes have been widely identified on Mars, based on observations of geomorphic features and stratigraphy. Orbital imagery has revealed a vast, ancient fluvial stratigraphic record and rover missions have enabled detailed sedimentological studies combined with mineralogical and chemical analyses. In some instances, the stratigraphic record encoding details of that Mars' history and the signature of potential habitability is clearly visible and accessible both from orbiter and rover. Considering ongoing and future exploration missions aim to find potentially habitable environments, fluvial sedimentary rock outcrops therefore make desirable targets. This session invites contribution towards Martian fluvial sedimentary geology. In addition to the classic contributions, we particularly welcome presentations that utilise appropriate Earth analogues, both modern and ancient and/or laboratory/numerical simulation. As ongoing and upcoming rover missions are providing increased opportunity to study extraterrestrial sedimentary strata, understanding directly accessible Earth analogues from which to base comparisons has never been more essential. We especially welcome contributions from early-career scientists and sedimentologists who are new to planetary science.
Best,
Francesco Salese, Gian Gabriele Ori
