Abstract: Glacial-interglacial variations in CO2 (exp) and methane in polar ice cores have been attributed, in part, to changes in global wetland extent, but the

Abstract: The Murray formation is predominantly composed of lacustrine mudstone that forms the basal layer of Aeolis Mons (informally Mt. Sharp) in Gale Crater, Mars.

Abstract: The Mars Curiosity rover has traversed nearly 20 km and gained over 350 meters in elevation since landing in Gale crater in August 2012.
