his project will use new nakhlite samples and other martian meteorites to further characterise the martian crust and the temperatures and conditions of water-rock interaction, comparing the results to what we are learning about Mars from remote sensing and current missions. It will use X-ray absorption, FTIR and diffraction techniques at the Diamond synchotron; and electron microscopy, Focused Ion Beam Transmission Electron Microscopy at the University of Leicester.The project also focuses on the development of astrobiology space instrumentation, particularly the scientific techniques used within the instrument.

他的项目将使用新的Naakhlite样本和其他火星陨石来进一步描述火星地壳以及水-岩石相互作用的温度和条件，将结果与我们从遥感和当前任务中了解到的火星进行比较。它将在钻石同步加速器上使用X射线吸收、傅里叶变换红外和衍射技术；在莱斯特大学使用电子显微镜、聚焦离子束传输电子显微镜。该项目还将重点开发天体生物学空间仪器，特别是仪器内使用的科学技术。
