This program will develop a 2-dimensional map of the ionosphere of Mars using a combination of numerical models and MARSIS radar sounder measurements. The results will be used to explore the relationship between the structure of the ionosphere and crustal magnetic anomalies.In terms of broader impacts, the work will train a female postdoctoral researcher of underrepresented ethnicity, a graduate student, and a succession of undergraduate students. It will stimulate comparative work involving Earth's auroral ionosphere, which will encourage the transfer of ideas and methods between terrestrial and planetary disciplines.

该程序将使用数值模型和MARSIS雷达声音测量值的组合来开发火星电离层的二维图。结果将用于探索电离层和地壳磁异常的结构之间的关系。在更广泛的影响方面，这项工作将培训一名女性的后族裔族裔研究员，研究生，一位本科生。 它将刺激涉及地球电离层的比较工作，这将鼓励陆地和行星学科之间的思想和方法转移。
