3rd Geo.X Grow Your Idea Roundtable Discussion on "Permafrost landforms and climate change on Earth (Svalbard) and Mars"

  Event

Date: 31st January 2025

Venue: DLR, Rutherfordstrasse 2, 12489 Berlin, Gebäude 103, Raum R330, online access upon reuqest

Contact Person: Ernst Hauber (DLR)

Dear colleagues,

we are pleased to announce the next event in our Grow Your Idea workshop series taking place at DLR:

 

Permafrost landforms and climate change on Earth (Svalbard) and Mars

 

Objective:
Our team consists of researchers who study permafrost on the Arctic archipelago, Svalbard, both from a terrestrial and a planetary perspective (terrestrial landforms as analogues for Mars). Both sides have a long-term record of such studies, and there is considerable potential for collaboration. The Geo.X-sponsored meetings will enable us to jointly discuss research ideas that benefit Earth and Mars science, and to design efficient field and flight campaigns optimized to serve both the planetary and terrestrial geoscience communities.

This is a follow-up meeting of the first event in December 2023 and the second event in February 2024.


When: 31st January, 2025; 10:00 to 17:30

Where:DLR, Rutherfordstrasse 2, 12489 Berlin, Gebäude 103, Raum R330 (and online)
