It investigates the role that such changes may have played in the preservation of biosignatures in the geological record and what this means for exploration strategies. Throughout the book, the authors show how the investigation of terrestrial analogs to early Martian habitats under various climates and environmental extremes provide critical clues to understand where, what and how to search for biosignatures on Mars. The authors present an introduction to the newest developments and state-of-the-art remote and in situ detection strategies and technologies that are being currently developed to support the upcoming ExoMars and Mars 2020 missions. They show how the current orbital and ground exploration is guiding the selection for future landing sites. Finally, the book concludes by discussing the critical question of the implications and ethics of finding life on Mars.--$cSource other than the Library of Congress. 606 $aLife on other planets 606 $aHabitable planets 606 $aHabitable planets$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01738509 606 $aLife on other planets$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00998301 607 $aMars (Planet) 615 0$aLife on other planets. 615 0$aHabitable planets. 615 7$aHabitable planets. 615 7$aLife on other planets. 676 $a523.43 700 $aCabrol$b Nathalie A.$0858238 702 $aGrin$b Edmond A. 702 $aCabrol$b Nathalie A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910583073603321 996 $aFrom habitability to life on mars$91916053 997 $aUNINA
