Abstract

TORONTO-- When more than 5000 geologists gathered here on 26 to 29 October for the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America, a highlight was Mars. The latest data from the Mars Global Surveyor lend credence to an early ocean, a new view of data from Mars Pathfinder questions whether Mars had plate tectonics, and lab work suggests a new, definitive test for life on Mars.
