Scientific paper

The intent of this paper is to show the relationships for Mars among albedo, thermal inertia, roughness inferred from MOLA pulse width spread data, and geology inferred from photogeological analyses. Mapping of surface units using these parameters and approaches, in combination with analysis of hyperspectral image data from ISM, TES, OMEGA, and CRISM observations, will maximize our understanding of the distribution and nature of surface units on the red planet. Results will directly impact the selection of landing sites that exhibit geological records needed to understand planetary habitability.
