Public recruited to identify geysers on Mars.
Active geysers have been observed in the south polar region of Mars:
Martian Geysers. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_geyser A new program asks the public to help identify them: Scientists need you to analyze unseen images of Mars. By James Holloway January 15, 2013 http://www.gizmag.com/planet-four-analyze-mars/25801/ http://planetfour.org/#/about BTW, the current theory is they are formed by CO2 sublimation. I raised the possibility that subsurface liquid water is involved in their formation: North polar geysers? http://cosmoquest.org/forum/showthre...32#post1040432 Bob Clark |

Also it would be interesting to know the rock temperature gradient as depth increases. A cap seal of ice might actually help. I am thinking about the possible in theory microorganisms. just a thought that sprang to mind..............Trig |
