Oxidative and radiation processes on the Martian surface are destructive to any organic and biological compound. However, the cold and dry climate on Mars may preserve organic matter in the subsurface, even in old terrain when spared from regional metamorphism. An interdisciplinary preparation phase for future Mars missions is crucial to better understand the processes that may alter organic matter.

    MASE - Mars Analogues for Space Exploration Newsletter December 2016 From Earth to Mars, towards understanding better the red planet habitability Assessing the habitability of Mars and detecting life, if it was ever there, depends on knowledge of whether the combined environmental stresses experienced on Mars are compatible with life and whether a record of that life could ever be detected. However, our current ability to make these assessments is hampered by a lack of knowledge of how the combined effect of different environmental stresses influence the survival and growth of organisms. In particular, many combinations of stress, such as high radiation conditions combined with high salt and low temperature, relevant for early Mars, have not been investigated. > Editorial: in the final stage of the MASE project > Earth Analogue Workshop 2016 has been such a busy year for Last October the MASE project was invited to MASE.
