Summary

Analog astronauts will examine usefulness of methods or relative dating of moraines and determine their usefulness for future Mars missions.

Objectives

The aim of the project is to inter-correlate and evaluate the usefulness of three different indices of moraine relative age:

  • sizes of lichen thalli
  • Schmidt hammer rebound values (R−values) 
  • weathering rind thickness measured on rock surfaces
