pMELTS Modeling of yhe Elysium Volcanic Province [#1886]
This work uses pMELTS to model the magmatic processes of the Elysium volcanicprovince featuring Middle Amazonian- to Late Hesperian-aged regions.

Assessing the Accuracy of Thermodynamic Modeling Software for Martian Magmatism [#2757]
We characterize the accuracy of the pMELTS algorithm when applied to martian melting calculations and trace the origin of several calculation misfits.

Controls on the Potential Occurrence of Growing, Eruptible Martian Crustal Magma Chambers [#1231]
Thermo-mechanical modeling of Late-Amazonian martian crustal magma chambers reveal ~20 km (2 kbar) to be the depth where they might simultaneously erupt and grow.

Evolution of the Water Concentration in the Martian Mantle and Its Thermal History: Impacts on Magma Genesis [#2593]
Based on Mars’ thermal history, we present the evolution of water concentration in the martian mantle through time and its impacts on Mars magma genesis.

Petrography and Geochemistry of Northwest Africa (NWA) 15497, a Newly Classified Basaltic Shergottite [#2209]
NWA 15497 is a newly classified basaltic shergottite. In this presentation we review its general petrography, mineral chemistry and petrogenesis.

Sulfur-Rich Shock Vein in 2.4 Ga Basaltic Martian Meteorite Northwest Africa 8159: Remnant of Martian Soil Component? [#1962]
The NWA 8159 martian meteorite contains S-rich shock veins that possibly incorporated exogenic sulfate minerals since Fe sulfide is nearly absent in this meteorite.

VIS-IR Imaging Spectroscopy of Martian Meteorites [#1953]
We present an imaging spectroscopic study in the VIS-IR of an ensemble of martian meteorites.

The Petrogenesis of Quartier: An Evolved Olivine Cumulate Rock in the Séitah Formation [#2324]
We investigate the chemistry, textures, and crystallization temperatures for Quartier, an evolved olivine cumulate in the Seítah formation, Jezero Crater, Mars.
