And now for something completely different:
Forensic geoscience non-invasive detection and characterisation of underground clandestine complexes, bunkers, tunnels and firing ranges.
CS4 is based my masters project, 2009.

One Gusty afternoon in Gale crater...
Some ripples formed, and can inform us about the ancient environment! @NasaCuriosity

SUPER happy to announce that my first ever paper is out! @KirstenSiebach, @marslogander, @ICPlanetologist and I looked at grain size in the Stimson sandstone in Gale crater to study sediment provenance + Mars paleoatmosphere: https://t.co/48eszQcihE

@wandbc now three weeks without taking the rubbish...
@PutneyFleur

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@wandbc
Please collect the rubbish. It's been missed the last three collections now. SW15.

@rbstabbins you need stabilisation on that camera!

@DrJeniMillard @NASAPersevere @MarsCuriosity @BPSC2024Leic The one slide where i forgot to adjust the heading 🤣

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@MarsRoverMapper I'll be there the whole week!

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@GaryWilloughb11 You'd be grumbling about a lack of rain or power cuts preventing the irrigator working by the end of the year!

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

Ice? Salt? or Pressure?
We found evidence of groundwater in the ancient Stimson desert sandstones, potentially extending #habitability window on #Mars, but what state was the water in? @MarsCuriosity @ESEImperial @spacegovuk @geosociety

Maria Gordon Notch, #Gale crater, #Mars. Currently investigating #fracture patterns to understand: ancient fluid flow and burial history; and cliff stability for passing rovers.

@GaryWilloughb11 That bit of string looks like it didn't help the situation...

Evolution of a Lake Margin Recorded in the Sutton Island Member of the Murray Formation, Gale Crater, Mars. https://t.co/hjXYG0nZyo. Curiosity data are used to study ancient lacustrine systems at Gale crater.

It's great to see the "Album of Fluid Motion" a fascinating book authored by " Milton Van Dyke" (@Stanford), published in 1982,
available online

@Hughes_Matt That MF 362 is in remarkable condition for a 35 year-old tractor!

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@wass74 I used to call there to fill up by CB400four on the way to sixth form. That was in ~2004

@megafloods Please send the DOI, @megafloods !

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@TomCraven11 @EnvAgency It looks more like the Marsh down at Friskney than a field that was planted a few weeks ago

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@SpaceWicca @MarsCuriosity you have to wear a beret and a chic stripy black and white jumper while doing ops!

[Steve Banham @ICPlanetologist]

@W4IDB Please publish this data in realtime on your website! It would be useful information for the locals too!
