Mars Institute HMP Research Station Astrobiology Update 21 July 2006
Dr. Richard Lveill, Visiting Fellow in astrobiology at the Canadian Space Agency: “The first question I am investigating is did impact-induced hydrothermal systems (i.e. hot springs created by the force of the impact) at Haughton support chemosynthetic microbial ecosystems? The second question I am trying to answer is what is the nature and origin of Mars-like minerals in ancient lake sediments found in the Haughton Crater?”
