In light of the UAE’s Hope  Probe reaching Mars, Khalifa University’s Department of Earth Sciences would like to highlight research associated with Planetary Sciences.

They have launched a special seminar series designed for KU faculty, staff, students (postgraduates and undergraduates) and all other interested parties, to highlight the Department’s dedication to the UAE’s Space agenda and to support growth and development of the new Earth and Planetary Science Degree.

In this seminar, Dr. Marko Gacesa, Assistant Professor of Physics at KU, will introduce the major scientific objectives of the NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) orbiter mission, and present its most important findings up to date in the context of what is presently known about the history of water of Mars.
