Located
on Curiosity's mast, the ChemCam instrument ("Chemistry and Camera")
uses a laser to provide the elemental composition of geological features
along the rover's path. Since 2012, it has contributed to the
investigation of geological units that record a time when on Mars, at
Gale crater, liquid water was present at the surface.
Dr.
Nachon's talk will focus on the ChemCam analysis of geological features
embedded or cross-cutting sedimentary rocks that have formed in a
fluvial-lacustrine complex. These geological features correspond to a
"late" stage of the history of sedimentary rocks at Gale, after their
deposition in the fluvial-lacustrine environment.
