According to the fact that the magnesium carbonate in Lake Salda was similar to in Jezero Crater, an old seaside bed on Mars, the US Aviation and Space Office (NASA) and the scientific world to Salda Lake.
NASA's “Persevence” vehicle sent on Mars, while scientists from the Salda Lake and Lakes region of the Istanbul Technical University examined the rocks in the Mars work.
The rocks in the lake region are examined as part of the common scientific study between the geomicrobiology biogeochemry Laboratory of Istanbul Technical University and Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL) at the Universe College of London in Istanbul.
Geological data are uncovered using the distinction method
As part of the project, Rosalind Franklin Mars Travel is analyzed in the MSSL laboratory using pancam and ECCS devices and emulators of these devices.
With the distinction method, geochemical data and geological data are uncovered in these rocks. With the help of the data obtained, information about how magnesium carbonate is formed on the Mars.
Istanbul Technical University Faculty of the Ministry of Mountain for Geological Engineering Department for Geomicrobiology-Biogeochemie Research Group Dr. Balcı, stones in Lake Salda, as well as other rocks in the Lake region, different examples will be preserved, he said.
Balcı said in the emphasis that magnesium carbonates are very common on Mars: “Magnesium carbonates, which are common in the lake region, were formed in a variety of ways. Each of these formations leaves different traces on the rocks.
Balcı said that there are similar work in Mars Laboratory at the Universe College of London and that they decided together.
As part of the study, Balcı explained that they will receive samples from different rocks in the region of the lakes: “There are spectral analyzes (by light) on the tail of Rosalind Franklin, we will use the same analyzes to the rocks here. So we will try to compare the geological data of these stones and geological data.” Spoke.
“Salda was the scientific goal of such studies for us”
Balcı emphasized that it is almost impossible to understand the details of the rocks on Mars before the world was born and said:
“Carbonate on Mars tell us that there were very deep water effects, rivers and large water circulation. I have formed myself as a result, but as a result of this formation we need more detailed data to understand the result of this formation. We will combine, use remote detection methods and adapt similar rocks.”
Balcı found that the best example of the Salda Lake study is in the study that this is the scientific goal that was opened to them for such studies.
Balcı said that they discovered that there are more geological and mineralogical similarities in the region of the lakes than they think.
Provides that the study will create a trace for the search for life outside the world, but also arouses scientific curiosity for young people.
