Summary: <p>We have visited Mars several times in the past but perhaps no mission to the Red planet is as ambitious as the one underway right now. After months of interplanetary flight and a flawless landing, Mars Rover Curiosity has already begun to explore the planet’s surface. The aim of the mission; find signs of life on Mars. We’ll meet one of the principal members of the mission’s team, geobiologist Dawn Sumner, as we continue our geology conference series when Charlotte Talks.</p><p><strong>Guest<br>Dr. Dawn Sumner</strong> - Geobiologist, <a href="https://www.geology.ucdavis.edu/">Department of Geology, University of California, Davis</a></p><ul> <li><a href="http://mygeologypage.ucdavis.edu/sumner/Dawns_Research/MSL.html">Mars Science Laboratory</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/">Jet Propulsion Laboratory - Curiosity Updates</a></li> </ul>
