Martian surface properties

The objectives were: to characterize surficial geologic units through integration of Infrared Thermal Mapper (IRTM)-derived regolith properties with other existing remote sensing data; to determine the physical and spectral properties of volcanic units in the mid-latitudes of Mars through the synthesis of the highest resolution IRTM, radar, and imaging data available; and to identify and characterize aeolian terrains on Mars using physical surface characteristics determined from remote sensing data.
