Bibliographical note

Funding Information: These new discoveries were highlighted at the Second International Conference on Mars Polar Science & Exploration, which was held in Reykjavik, Iceland, during the week of August 21–25, 2000. The conference was sponsored by the Lunar and Planetary Institute, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the University of Iceland, Reykjavik—European City of Culture in the year 2000, the Geological Survey of Canada, and the International Glaciological Society. Over a hundred terrestrial and planetary scientists—representing fields as diverse as glaciology, climatology, planetary geology, planetary atmospheres, geophysics, spacecraft design and instrumentation, remote sensing, and exobiology—gathered to assess the current state of Mars polar research and discuss what might be learned from future missions.
