From Habitability to Life on Mars explores the current state of
knowledge and questions on the past habitability of Mars and the
role that rapid environmental changes may have played in the
ability of prebiotic chemistry to transition to life. 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.
