Description
(Text)
This work introduces an interdisciplinary approach to search for hydrothermal systems on Mars. Through this approach, geophysical, geologic, geomorphologic, and mineralogic data are collected from various remote sensing instruments and combined to create tools for detecting magmatic-driven and impactgenerated hydrothermal systems on Mars.
(Extract)
Hydrothermal systems are active today in the oceanic and continental crusts, and their fossilized equivalents constitute a substantial portion of the geologic record. Although hydrothermal systems can be generated by many types of perturbations, there are two main types that will be described throughout this thesis: magmatic-driven and impactgenerated ones. But before going into more detail about these two types, we first discuss some of the fundamental aspects of hydrothermal systems.
