STYRELSEN HAR ORDET Botanisk återväxt ivetvis ägnar sig många människor åt botaniken främst av allmänt intresse för växter och för glädjen i att hitta intres- Gsanta arter. Men eftersom botanister samtidigt gör stora insatser för att dokumentera och bevara den biologiska mångfalden, kan vi hävda att botaniken är mer än vilket fritidsintresse som helst. Både för att hålla det botaniska intresset vid liv och för att även i fortsättningen kunna skydda vår vilda flora, är det viktigt att nya generationer får upp ögonen för det intressanta med växterna. Ett problem när man vill bredda botanikintresset är att många människor är allmänt naturintresserade men inte anser sig ha till- räckliga kunskaper för att våga sig på exempelvis inventeringsarbete. Alltså behövs det insatser både för att väcka intresset för botanik, särskilt

  • Martian Crater Morphology
    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

  • Mars Mapping, Data Mining, Change Detection, GIS Mapping, Time Series Analysis
    ISPRS Technical Commission IV Symposium on Geospatial Databases and Location Based Services, 14 – 16 May 2014, Suzhou, China, MTSTC4-2014-172-2 TEMPORAL ANALYSIS OF ALL AVAILABLE HIGH-RESOLUTION MARS IMAGING PRODUCTS SINCE 1976 Panagiotis Sidiropoulos1 and Jan-Peter Muller Mullard Space Science Laboratory, University College London, Holmbury St Mary, Surrey, RH56NT, UK [email protected], [email protected] Commission KEY WORDS: Mars mapping, data mining, change detection, GIS mapping, time series analysis ABSTRACT: Starting from Viking Orbiter 1, launched in August 1975, several mainly NASA orbiters have been sent to Mars to accomplish the robotic tasks of imaging its surface. Initial analyses of these early images indicated a planet with similar characteristics to the Moon pitted with craters and large volcanic and tectonic features but dead from a geological perspective. Recently, scientific interest has shifted towards high-resolution imaging, which allows the identification of previously undiscovered geological phenomena and surface features as well as the examination of surface composition and geological history. The increasing frequency of Mars orbiters, carrying high-resolution cameras, allows the dynamic analysis of Martian surface, i.e. the analysis of the temporal evolution of certain areas that reveal natural processes that happen over time. The latter can be roughly classified into two major categories; processes that happen periodically each and every Martian season (e.g. seasonal flows in high latitude areas (McEwen et al., 2011) and events that do not follow some iterative pattern but are rather sporadic (e.g. new impact craters (Byrne et al., 2009)). Consequently, it is beneficial to conduct a twin temporal grouping of Mars imaging products, the first examining product distribution through time, so as to point out areas that favor the search for sporadic events, and the second product distribution per season, to identify areas favouring the search for periodic events.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.

Despite the advances in our understanding of microbial ecology in the past decade, important questions remain regarding the link between microbial diversity and geochemical factors under these extreme conditions. This dissertation first investigates a series of hot springs with wide ranges of temperature (26-92oC) and pH (3.72-8.2) from the Tibetan Plateau in China and the Philippines. Within each region, microbial diversity and geochemical conditions were studied using an integrated approach with 16S rRNA molecular phylogeny and a suite of geochemical analyses. In Tibetan springs, the microbial community was dominated by archaeal phylum Thaumarchaeota

Crommelin and Firsoff craters evidenced the occurrences of flow structures and spring deposits that endorse the presence of fluids circulation in the Late Noachian. All the morphologies in these two proto-basins occur within the Equatorial Layered Deposits (ELDs). 1. Introduction Martian layered spring deposits are of considerable interest for their supposed relationship with water and high potential of microbial signatures preservation. Their supposed fluid-related origin [1] makes the Equatorial Layered Deposits attractive targets for future missions with astrobiological purposes.

Broad and local scale geomorphological, compositional and hydrological analyses point towards pervasive fluid circulation through time. In this work we focus on mound fields located in the interior of three casters larger than 40 km (Firsoff, Kotido and unnamed crater 20 km to the east) and showing strong morphological and textural resemblance to terrestrial mud volcanoes and spring-related features. We infer that these landforms likely testify the presence of a pressurized fluid reservoir at depth and past fluid upwelling. We have performed morphometric analyses to characterize the mound morphologies and consequently retrieve an accurate automated mapping of the mounds within the craters for spatial distribution and fractal clustering analysis. The outcome of the fractal clustering yields information about the possible extent of the percolating fracture network at depth below the craters.

  • Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous: Mission Summary 351
    Cheng: Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous: Mission Summary 351 Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous: Mission Summary Andrew F. Cheng The Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory On February 14, 2000, the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft (NEAR Shoemaker) began the first orbital study of an asteroid, the near-Earth object 433 Eros. Almost a year later, on February 12, 2001, NEAR Shoemaker completed its mission by landing on the asteroid and acquiring data from its surface. NEAR Shoemaker’s intensive study has found an average density of 2.67 ± 0.03, almost uniform within the asteroid. Based upon solar fluorescence X-ray spectra obtained from orbit, the abundance of major rock-forming elements at Eros may be consistent with that of ordinary chondrite meteorites except for a depletion in S. Such a composition would be consistent with spatially resolved, visible and near-infrared (NIR) spectra of the surface. Gamma-ray spectra from the surface show Fe to be depleted from chondritic values, but not K. Eros is not a highly differentiated body, but some degree of partial melting or differentiation cannot be ruled out. No evidence has been found for compositional heterogeneity or an intrinsic magnetic field. The surface is covered by a regolith estimated at tens of meters thick, formed by successive impacts. Some areas have lesser surface age and were apparently more recently dis- turbed or covered by regolith. A small center of mass offset from the center of figure suggests regionally nonuniform regolith thickness or internal density variation. Blocks have a nonuniform distribution consistent with emplacement of ejecta from the youngest large crater.
