Workshop Format

The workshop will begin with a series of invited plenary talks to be followed by a series of breakout panels. Each participant will indicate their choice of a breakout panel on their registration form. Each breakout panel will have a moderator and a recorder. During these breakout sessions, all participants, regardless of their assigned method of presentation, are encouraged to contribute, as all community input is essential to the positive outcome of these sessions.

The plenary talks and breakout sessions will cover the following subject areas:

  • The characteristics, composition, and electrical properties of Mars atmospheric dust
  • The impact of Mars atmospheric dust on human health
  • The impact of Mars atmospheric dust on surface mechanical systems and surface operations
