Salt Constructs in Paleo-Lake Basins as High-Priority Astrobiology Targets Open
In extreme environments, microbial organisms reside in pockets with locally habitable conditions. Micro-climates conducive to the persistence of life in an otherwise inhospitable environment—“refugia”—are spatially restricted and can be mi…

Salt constructs in paleo-lake basins as high-priority astrobiology targets. Open
<p>Introduction</p> <p>In environments where it is difficult for life to function, microbial organisms tend to inhabit pockets of locally favorable climatic conditions. Micro-climates conducive to the persistence of life …

Surface Morphologies in a Mars-Analog Ca-Sulfate Salar, High Andes, Northern Chile Open
Salar de Pajonales, a Ca-sulfate salt flat in the Chilean High Andes, showcases the type of polyextreme environment recognized as one of the best terrestrial analogs for early Mars because of its aridity, high solar irradiance, salinity, a…
