As part of the preparation for the ExoMars 2020 mission, this project will use a range of different techniques and approaches to (1) help validate interpretations and hypotheses made from orbital data, previous surface rover missions and fieldwork, and (2) use ExoMars instrument emulators to test the capability of different observation techniques. The results will be important for landing site interpretation and mission planning when on the surface, but also of particular relevance to the ExoMars PanCam, ISEM, CLUPI, and MicrOmega instruments. Therefore, the objectives of this project are to help determine the geology of Mars with orbital and rover data, specifically:1. Conduct visible and near-infrared analyses of martian meteorites to determine the spectral response of different instruments.2. Compare and contrast geological interpretations of the martian surface from orbital and rover data.3. Determine the difference between field-based observations and interpretations from a human with that expected with ExoMars.This project will use techniques from different disciplines, providing the student with training in the use of GIS software (e.g. ArcGIS, ENVI, SocetSet), analytical facilities (e.g. near-infrared spectrometers, CT scanners), with the potential for geological fieldwork in the UK and overseas. The project will use the world-class meteorite collection at the Natural History Museum, London, and ExoMars instrument emulators and analytical equipment (e.g. NERC Field Spectroscopy Instruments) at UK institutions.

作为 ExoMars 2020 任务准备工作的一部分，该项目将使用一系列不同的技术和方法来 (1) 帮助验证根据轨道数据、之前的地面漫游器任务和实地工作做出的解释和假设，以及 (2) 使用 ExoMars 仪器模拟器来测试不同观察技术的能力。结果对于着陆点解释和地面任务规划非常重要，而且与 ExoMars PanCam、ISEM、CLUPI 和 MicrOmega 仪器特别相关。因此，该项目的目标是利用轨道和漫游车数据帮助确定火星的地质情况，具体来说： 1．对火星陨石进行可见光和近红外分析，以确定不同仪器的光谱响应。2．比较和对比轨道数据和漫游车数据对火星表面的地质解释。3．确定基于现场的观察结果和人类的解释与 ExoMars 的预期之间的差异。该项目将使用不同学科的技术，为学生提供使用 GIS 软件（例如 ArcGIS、ENVI、SocetSet）、分析设施的培训（例如近红外光谱仪、CT 扫描仪），具有在英国和海外进行地质实地考察的潜力。该项目将使用伦敦自然历史博物馆的世界级陨石收藏以及英国机构的 ExoMars 仪器模拟器和分析设备（例如 NERC 场光谱仪器）。
