Salt — No. 4

A worm's-eye view of one of the salt evaporation ditches south of Amboy.

 

There is a paper about using Bristol Dry Lake for testing equipment used to identify dry lake bed deposits on Mars, if present. The primary tools in this search include the 1996 Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES) and the 2001 Mars Odyssey multi-channel radiometer THEMIS.

 

It's only two pages long and it can be found here: First Airborne Thermal Infrared Hyperspectral Imaging of a Dry Lake: Site Geology and TES/THEMIS Interpretations of Mars.
