Low frequency radar remote sensing: the unseen planetary geology

Résumé : over the past decades, radar sounding and imaging techniques have provided new insights into the understanding of surface and subsurface properties of the Earth, Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Mars - as well as numerous smaller solar system bodies. In my talk I will focus on the Martian case showing new results obtained from the low frequency radar probing of the Martian subsurface and the potential of future planed radar experiments to map the dust covered geology of Mars revealing potential evidence of an earth-like enviroment. Results from recent radar sounding experiments carried through different terrestrial Mars analog environments and laboratory electromagnetic characterization of Martian-like soils will be discussed to support the study case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Séminaires généraux de la spécialité M2 Télédétection ------------------------------------------------------------------------
