Provide to the student knowledge and experience on:
i) working with planetary data (from orbiter, lander and rover) on Mars;
ii) interpreting rocks and sedimentary environments from remote sensing data;
iii) reconstructing the geological evolution of sedimentary environments and sequences. This will give to the student a great background on the analysis of mission data (both in orbit and in situ), on the definition of scientific objectives in the Solar System exploration at large and on the analysis of landing sites in different planetary bodies
