Geology Report
Kurt Klaus Reporting
Kurt spent the morning locating the Hab on the Geologic map of the Salina quadrangle. He's quite certain that the rounded terrain around the Hab is the Northern Horn formation but he questions the identification of Dakota Sandstone behind the Hab made by crew 36. He doesn't see the Dakota on the map in the area and wonders if it could be the Ferron member sandstone. He would enjoy a discussion with the Crew 36 geologist. He was part of EVA 4 where he doubled as navigator and sample collector.
The EVA crew picked up a couple of very nice evaporite samples. The crew is planning a pressurized rover EVA to Factory Butte as part of our general field geology assessment. In addition, he made cloud observations contributing to the S'COOL project at LARC. Observations are made while the CEREs satellites (AQUA and TERRA) are overhead providing ground truth observations used in evaluating the remote sensing data and subsequent analysis.
