Abstract:Near infrared (NIR) hyperspectral remote sensing is a useful tool to characterize the surface composition of Mars. The Observatoire pour la Mineralogie, l'Eau, les Glaces et l'Activite (OMEGA) instrument (Bibring et al., 2004) onboard the Mars Express and the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars instrument (Murchie et al., 2007) onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have collected hyperspectral data at spatial resolutions from meters to kilometers. Diverse hydrated minerals including clays, s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
