Default Public recruited to identify geysers on Mars.

Active geysers have been observed in the south polar region of Mars:

Martian Geysers.

A new program asks the public to help identify them:
Scientists need you to analyze unseen images of Mars.

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?

How many feet of rock are needed to raise the pressure such
that water can be liquid? 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
