Name

The Caves of Mars: Preparing for a Mission to a Lava Tube

Description

Featuring Dr. Jennifer Blank, Blue Marble Space Institute of Science

Biologic and Resource Analog Investigations in Low Light Environments (BRAILLE) is a multi-year, NASA-funded Mars analog project centered around fieldwork in volcanic caves at Lava Beds National Monument in Northern California. We are motivated to search for evidence of life on Mars beneath its surface—and one way to gain access there is through a volcanic cave! This presentation will provide an overview of BRAILLE, showcasing its most significant accomplishments and taking audiences inside these remarkable caves.
