SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Lesson Learned from Observing Earth’s Cryosphere from Satellites
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few decades\, the quality and quantity of satellite observations of Earth have improved dramatically. Nowhere is this more true than in the polar regions. Over the past 20 years\, a fleet of satellites operated by many different countries have provided unprecedented insight into the changes underway in the Arctic and Antarctic. In this talk\, we will discuss some of the key observations and insights that inform our understanding of the response of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets to climate change and our projections of future sea-level rise.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | The Rivers and Seas of Titan
DESCRIPTION:Saturn’s moon Titan is the second known Solar system world with active rivers and seas. Titan’s deceptively Earth-like landscape is the product of a methane cycle akin to Earth’s water cycle\, but there are important differences between Earth and Titan that offer lessons about planetary climate. I will illustrate this through a tour of Titan’s landforms\, including methane rivers eroding mountains of ice\, the search for waves on Titan’s seas\, and the scarceness of river deltas.

SUMMARY:I♥Pluto Festival 2022 | Searching for Signs of Past Life on Mars
DESCRIPTION:On February 18th\, 2020\, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landed on the surface of Mars. One of the main goals of this mission is to search for evidence of past life on Mars. Jezero crater\, the landing site of the rover\, was selected as an exciting astrobiological target because it is the site of an ancient river delta and lake that may once have been habitable. To determine if Mars was once inhabited\, scientists will search for biosignatures\, traces of life that are preserved in the rock record. On Earth\, scientists study ancient biosignatures to understand what the ancient biosphere looked like and how it interacted with the planet. Dr. Moore’s research investigates ancient biosignatures from Earth with the goal of providing a framework that scientists may use to identify and interpret similar biosignatures in Jezero crater if they are present. Here\, Dr. Moore will describe the astrobiological goals of the mission\, what scientists know about Jezero crater and its potential past habitability\, and the instruments that they will use to search for ancient biosignatures. She will present new insights into biosignature preservation on the ancient Earth and what they can tell scientists about how the biosphere and geosphere interacted on the early Earth. She will show how scientists can use instruments onboard the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover to search for similar biosignatures in Jezero crater. If such biosignatures exist\, the data that scientists collect during the Mars 2020 mission will also help them to interpret how ancient microorganisms may have interacted with the Martian environment in the past.
