After several years of landing site selection workshops and ESA Landing Site Selection Working Group (LSSWG) meetings, three possible sites for the ExoMars Rover remain: Aram Dorsum (UK-led), Oxia Planum, and Mawrth Vallis. Down-selection to the 'final and backup' sites will take place in March 2017, and final selection in 2019. The goals of this project are to conduct geological analysis of these sites to develop testable scientific hypotheses, identify key scientific targets of interest in the landing ellipses, and to characterise major hazards to rover mobility. The student will thus play an important role in the ExoMars Rover 2020 landing site selection process. The student will carry out geological analyses of the final landing sites. Of particular importance is understanding how each site fits into the regional geology and stratigraphy. This project will use data from a wide range of different instruments, including new data collected from the CaSSIS instrument on board the ExoMars TGO mission, with two of the supervisors recently being appointed Guest Investigators. The student will also help characterise rover hazards due to both aeolian features and steep slopes, in order to assess landing hazards and surface traversability. Thus the student will play in important role in characterising the landing site for the ExoMars 2020 rover.

经过数年的着陆现场选择研讨会和ESA着陆场选择工作组（LSSWG）会议之后，还有三个可能的外事物漫游车地点：Aram partim（英国），Oxia Planum和Mawrth Vallis。对“最终和备份”站点的下调将于2017年3月举行，并在2019年进行最终选择。该项目的目标是对这些地点进行地质分析，以开发可检验的科学假设，确定着着陆椭圆的关键科学目标，并表征对摩尔摩尔流动性的主要危害。因此，学生将在Exomars Rover 2020着陆点选择过程中发挥重要作用。该学生将对最终着陆点进行地质分析。特别重要的是了解每个站点如何适合区域地质和地层。该项目将使用来自各种不同工具的数据，包括从Cassis Instrument of the Exomars TGO任务收集的新数据，最近有两名主管被任命为客座调查员。学生还将由于风格的特征和陡峭的斜坡，以评估着陆危害和表面横冲直撞。因此，学生将在表征Exomars 2020 Rover的着陆点方面发挥重要作用。
