This project aims to determine a detailed and accurate geologic timescale for Mars, using image processing, high performance computing, geochemistry and geochronology. Mars is the nearest possibly habitable planet to our own. The project will apply automated feature recognition techniques to high resolution space-craft derived images of the surface of Mars and study formation ages of Martian meteorites. The goal is an absolute chronology for Mars. This contributes to a better understanding of the geologic and habitability history of Mars, facilitating both future mission landing site selection and providing context for comparison to the early history of Earth.

该项目旨在利用图像处理、高性能计算、地球化学和地质年代学，确定火星详细而准确的地质时标。火星是离我们最近的可能适合居住的行星。该项目将把自动特征识别技术应用于高分辨率的火星表面航天器图像，并研究火星陨石的形成年龄。我们的目标是为火星建立一个绝对的年表。这有助于更好地了解火星的地质和可居住性历史，促进未来使命着陆点的选择，并提供与地球早期历史进行比较的背景。
