In a new video, Distinguished Professor Scott McLennan and Associate Professor Joel Hurowitz of the Department of Geosciences at Stony Brook University talk about their experience with the Mars exploration rover...
Samples from the Jezero Crater, the landing site of NASA’s Mars 2020 Mission, may help to reveal evidence of Mars' climate changes during its existence and possible signs of previous life.
Geosciences Professors Scott McLennan and Joel Hurowitz are actively involved in the Mars exploration rover Perseverance mission, a two-year science investigation of Mars’ Jezero Crater.
In a study of the ancient Gale Crater on Mars, Hurowitz and scientists from Rice University determined that Iceland’s climate is the closest to ancient Mars.
On average, the distance between Mars and Earth is about 140 million miles. But even that great distance is not too much to prevent a Stony Brook professor from helping scientists investigate signs of past life on the...
As a young undergraduate student in Canada, Scott McLennan planned to spend his life studying the composition and characteristics of the Earth, and in 1987, he began teaching in Stony Brook’s Department of Geosciences...
