P41A:
Characterizing Subsurface Water and Ice on Small Bodies, Planets, and Icy Ocean Worlds I Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session Please know the abstract submission deadline has passed. There are no exceptions to this deadline and no new abstracts can be submitted.
You can still search the program to see your colleague�s abstract submissions as well as the sessions submitted for the 2016 Fall Meeting. The final program will be released in early October.


Session ID#: 14016

Session Description:
The identification and characterization of subsurface water and ice has become a critical issue in understanding the evolution of planetary surfaces, their past and present potential for life, and as an important in situ resource for future human explorers.  This session will explore the use of geomorphic, geophysical, and other remote sensing techniques, to investigate the state and distribution of water on a variety of Solar System objects including small bodies, planets, and icy ocean worlds. Abstracts addressing these topics, including analog, laboratory, simulation and instrument prototype studies supporting existing or potential future investigations, are encouraged.
