1 00:00:04,150 --> 00:00:02,149 all right then uh uh good morning 2 00:00:05,430 --> 00:00:04,160 everyone and welcome back to the third 3 00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:05,440 day of this 4 00:00:19,429 --> 00:00:06,560 uh 5 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:19,439 and then kick it over to steve vance who 6 00:00:24,630 --> 00:00:22,560 will be uh your host for the rest of the 7 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:24,640 morning or afternoon or evening 8 00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:26,320 depending on your time zone 9 00:00:30,550 --> 00:00:28,320 anyway i just wanted to 10 00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,560 highlight a couple of lessons or things 11 00:00:34,790 --> 00:00:32,320 that seem to pop out 12 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:34,800 me as what we learned from yesterday's 13 00:00:38,790 --> 00:00:37,120 session uh and i've listed those here in 14 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:38,800 this slide and 15 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,360 so one of the things that i think uh 16 00:00:46,069 --> 00:00:43,440 that is of particular relevance to 17 00:00:47,190 --> 00:00:46,079 astrobiology is the 18 00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:47,200 uh 19 00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,559 production of hydrogen during 20 00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:50,320 serpentinization and i think we saw 21 00:00:55,029 --> 00:00:52,960 reflected in yesterday's talk that 22 00:00:56,709 --> 00:00:55,039 kind of the rates of hydrogen generation 23 00:00:58,549 --> 00:00:56,719 are highly variable under different 24 00:00:59,750 --> 00:00:58,559 conditions and in different environments 25 00:01:03,110 --> 00:00:59,760 and uh 26 00:01:05,270 --> 00:01:03,120 but it's not really clear yet as what is 27 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:05,280 underlying those variations and 28 00:01:08,950 --> 00:01:06,720 understanding why 29 00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:08,960 those variations occur and how it might 30 00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:11,200 translate into how much hydrogen might 31 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:12,560 be applied in different kinds of 32 00:01:15,350 --> 00:01:13,680 environments 33 00:01:17,109 --> 00:01:15,360 it's something that really needs a lot 34 00:01:19,109 --> 00:01:17,119 more work to go on 35 00:01:20,550 --> 00:01:19,119 as we go forward 36 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,560 uh very 37 00:01:25,030 --> 00:01:22,400 intimately key 38 00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:25,040 linked into that is the distribution of 39 00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:26,960 iron among the products which really 40 00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:28,880 controls the hydrogen production thank 41 00:01:34,069 --> 00:01:31,520 you and uh i think we've seen uh 42 00:01:35,910 --> 00:01:34,079 yesterday in a couple of talks that 43 00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:35,920 there really is a lot of heterogeneity 44 00:01:39,670 --> 00:01:38,000 and where that iron goes and reaction 45 00:01:42,149 --> 00:01:39,680 products and 46 00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:42,159 and uh how that gets reflected in the 47 00:01:45,990 --> 00:01:43,920 hydrogen production and again that's an 48 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,000 area where i think we really need to 49 00:01:51,190 --> 00:01:48,240 uh have a lot more work to see 50 00:01:53,190 --> 00:01:51,200 uh to really look in samples and natural 51 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:53,200 samples and see where it's going and do 52 00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:56,240 more uh modeling and theoretical work 53 00:01:59,910 --> 00:01:57,680 and experimental work to really 54 00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,920 understand what's controlling where that 55 00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:01,600 iron is going 56 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:04,880 uh we saw yesterday from uh sanjoy and 57 00:02:09,029 --> 00:02:07,119 the previous day from everett shock 58 00:02:12,470 --> 00:02:09,039 that we're seeing the models are really 59 00:02:14,390 --> 00:02:12,480 uh progressing in order in and uh 60 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,400 helping us understand 61 00:02:18,869 --> 00:02:16,560 our ability to map out 62 00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:18,879 uh where energy sources occur in these 63 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:21,760 kind of environments and what conditions 64 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:23,680 uh make it more favorable and less 65 00:02:27,670 --> 00:02:24,959 favorable 66 00:02:29,110 --> 00:02:27,680 to support life uh and i think going 67 00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,120 forward it's gonna be interesting to see 68 00:02:33,110 --> 00:02:31,120 how well those predictions 69 00:02:35,110 --> 00:02:33,120 uh compare with observations in the 70 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:35,120 natural systems and and try and link 71 00:02:37,750 --> 00:02:36,800 those two together and see if we can 72 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:37,760 come to 73 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:38,560 a 74 00:02:57,670 --> 00:02:55,599 serpentinizing 75 00:02:59,750 --> 00:02:57,680 environment are continuing to evolve as 76 00:03:01,509 --> 00:02:59,760 we begin to know more 77 00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:01,519 about the systems and learn more about 78 00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:03,120 the chemistry and 79 00:03:08,470 --> 00:03:05,840 it goes on in those systems and uh 80 00:03:10,070 --> 00:03:08,480 a lot of this stuff is still really very 81 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,080 much hypothetical 82 00:03:14,309 --> 00:03:12,640 and needs to be tested experimentally so 83 00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,319 i'm looking forward to 84 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,840 more developments in terms of 85 00:03:19,509 --> 00:03:17,760 experimentally testing some of the ideas 86 00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,519 that mike and others have proposed in 87 00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,159 terms of what might have led to origins 88 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:24,480 of life on earth and serpentinizing 89 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:27,440 systems and what might be 90 00:03:32,390 --> 00:03:29,920 uh take place somewhere else in our 91 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:32,400 solar system where we see serpentizing 92 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:33,760 systems and whether that could have led 93 00:03:39,030 --> 00:03:36,560 to an another origin of life 94 00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:39,040 and lastly i just wanted to comment that 95 00:03:43,270 --> 00:03:40,799 you know we didn't really have time to 96 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:43,280 even get into the abiotic carbon sources 97 00:03:45,990 --> 00:03:44,480 story 98 00:03:47,350 --> 00:03:46,000 so a lot of people are interested in the 99 00:03:48,229 --> 00:03:47,360 potential for 100 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:48,239 uh 101 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:50,400 circuit and serpentinizing systems to 102 00:03:55,429 --> 00:03:53,280 make methane making avionic methane 103 00:03:56,149 --> 00:03:55,439 uh both as a source for for 104 00:03:58,630 --> 00:03:56,159 uh 105 00:04:01,270 --> 00:03:58,640 microbial metabolism and also as a 106 00:04:03,429 --> 00:04:01,280 potential signature for looking 107 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:03,439 to see if we can determine whether life 108 00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,400 exists on other planets uh but 109 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,239 that's a that's an area that's really a 110 00:04:11,910 --> 00:04:10,000 lot of ongoing research and that's 111 00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:11,920 something that we didn't really even get 112 00:04:16,150 --> 00:04:14,239 to touch on yesterday but we we need to 113 00:04:17,990 --> 00:04:16,160 keep in mind 114 00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:18,000 and that's pretty much all i had to say 115 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:21,519 so uh i'm going to kick it over to 116 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:35,350 all right tom thanks so much 117 00:04:40,070 --> 00:04:37,189 yeah it's been an exciting couple days 118 00:04:45,110 --> 00:04:40,080 i've certainly learned a lot and uh 119 00:04:49,510 --> 00:04:47,030 today's session is about planetary 120 00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:49,520 serpentine is that 121 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,160 i'm sorry it seems that the 122 00:04:56,469 --> 00:04:54,479 widescreen slide is a little bit cut off 123 00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:56,479 i think for most of my other slides this 124 00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:57,840 will not be 125 00:05:02,550 --> 00:05:01,120 uh too much of a problem 126 00:05:05,270 --> 00:05:02,560 i'll just say what i have to say and let 127 00:05:07,510 --> 00:05:05,280 the other speakers take over um so 128 00:05:08,950 --> 00:05:07,520 planetary servantization as you know 129 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,960 thinking about serpentinization in the 130 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:10,400 planetary context 131 00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:13,520 uh encourages us also to think about the 132 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:15,120 earth planetary context of 133 00:05:17,990 --> 00:05:17,120 serpentinization 134 00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:18,000 so 135 00:05:23,510 --> 00:05:20,479 what we observe on earth comes about by 136 00:05:29,350 --> 00:05:26,469 the configuration of earth continents uh 137 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,360 and the relation of earth's um 138 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:32,000 surface layer to its deeper interior and 139 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:37,749 similarly other worlds will have a 140 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:39,600 similar set of conditions that influence 141 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:40,720 what we observe 142 00:05:44,310 --> 00:05:41,600 and 143 00:05:46,550 --> 00:05:44,320 how do i advance my slide 144 00:05:49,029 --> 00:05:46,560 like that 145 00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:49,039 okay so the earth system again we are 146 00:05:51,909 --> 00:05:49,919 this 147 00:05:54,550 --> 00:05:51,919 little soup skin on top of the the 148 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:54,560 mantle with the crust underneath uh our 149 00:05:58,870 --> 00:05:55,600 ocean 150 00:05:59,590 --> 00:05:58,880 and the continents uh interact um 151 00:06:05,189 --> 00:05:59,600 with 152 00:06:07,270 --> 00:06:05,199 the underlying rock 153 00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:07,280 just 154 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:10,319 constrained depth um and the composition 155 00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:12,080 of those rocks determines the materials 156 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:14,880 that come out um so 157 00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:15,840 um 158 00:06:19,749 --> 00:06:18,240 similarly planet understanding planetary 159 00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:19,759 serpentinization will be about 160 00:06:24,790 --> 00:06:22,560 understanding other system uh contexts 161 00:06:27,590 --> 00:06:24,800 and how that relates to habitability 162 00:06:28,950 --> 00:06:27,600 we want to understand um what we might 163 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:28,960 be able to observe with upcoming 164 00:06:32,710 --> 00:06:30,880 missions here's the europa 165 00:06:35,430 --> 00:06:32,720 multiple flyby mission that's planned to 166 00:06:37,510 --> 00:06:35,440 arrive at europa in 2026 and we'll have 167 00:06:38,710 --> 00:06:37,520 a suite of instruments um to look at the 168 00:06:40,950 --> 00:06:38,720 surface and try to understand the 169 00:06:43,270 --> 00:06:40,960 composition of the ocean uh these are 170 00:06:46,309 --> 00:06:44,230 but 171 00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,319 there's a capable suite of remote 172 00:06:51,589 --> 00:06:48,319 sensing instruments to understand the 173 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:51,599 surface composition and geology 174 00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,400 and 175 00:06:56,390 --> 00:06:54,319 instead of in situ instruments here 176 00:06:58,150 --> 00:06:56,400 shown in red that includes two mass 177 00:06:59,589 --> 00:06:58,160 spectrometers 178 00:07:01,830 --> 00:06:59,599 that could 179 00:07:05,029 --> 00:07:01,840 taste the ocean um if there are 180 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:05,039 materials that are lofted from this 181 00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:06,080 from the 182 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:08,560 from within the ice via um yet to be 183 00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:11,039 confirmed plumes um so there's some hope 184 00:07:15,510 --> 00:07:13,520 that we will be able to infer something 185 00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:15,520 about serpentinization what i'd really 186 00:07:20,629 --> 00:07:18,240 like to see from some of the experts 187 00:07:22,790 --> 00:07:20,639 who've been attending this meeting is 188 00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:22,800 some weighing in about 189 00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:24,639 uh the detailed signatures for example 190 00:07:28,550 --> 00:07:26,800 isotopic signatures or mineral 191 00:07:32,629 --> 00:07:28,560 signatures that we should really look 192 00:07:38,710 --> 00:07:35,909 some hints of the ocean composition 193 00:07:40,390 --> 00:07:38,720 similar story applies at 194 00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:40,400 other worlds like enceladus which we'll 195 00:07:45,029 --> 00:07:42,479 hear about later 196 00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:45,039 and the upcoming mars 2020 rover also 197 00:07:49,830 --> 00:07:47,199 has a capable set of instruments 198 00:07:52,309 --> 00:07:49,840 including uh 199 00:07:55,270 --> 00:07:52,319 spectrometers um we heard about some 200 00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,280 advanced uh techniques uh yesterday uh 201 00:07:59,670 --> 00:07:57,360 including the application of raman to 202 00:08:01,909 --> 00:07:59,680 understanding the detailed uh 203 00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:01,919 mineral progression 204 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:03,680 that can tell us something about the 205 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,869 system context let me just say a few 206 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:10,400 things about 207 00:08:14,550 --> 00:08:12,720 europa as an example of the kinds of 208 00:08:16,390 --> 00:08:14,560 things that we want to understand in 209 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:16,400 terms of the habitability context of 210 00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:18,960 serpentinization 211 00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:19,680 so 212 00:08:24,550 --> 00:08:22,800 well let me by to to get at that let me 213 00:08:26,469 --> 00:08:24,560 let me just emphasize that the earth 214 00:08:28,230 --> 00:08:26,479 system is complex 215 00:08:32,310 --> 00:08:28,240 there are a lot of different reservoirs 216 00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:34,550 habitable and um 217 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:36,959 the context of serenitization then as 218 00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:38,959 illustrated in this figure from a paper 219 00:08:42,550 --> 00:08:40,560 by sherwood lawler is about 220 00:08:45,829 --> 00:08:42,560 understanding um 221 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:45,839 what's the flux so what is the 222 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,480 amount of material that's generated and 223 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,000 how does that couple into the global 224 00:08:57,269 --> 00:08:54,550 that's that for a lot of different 225 00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:57,279 reservoirs um you know so these are the 226 00:08:59,670 --> 00:08:58,320 these are the 227 00:09:01,350 --> 00:08:59,680 um 228 00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:01,360 reservoirs that were examined in this 229 00:09:05,110 --> 00:09:02,800 paper the 230 00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:05,120 um alteration of the oceanic crust 231 00:09:09,269 --> 00:09:07,600 spreading ridges um 232 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:09,279 and um 233 00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,120 periodize 234 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,279 um so we can ask what are the what are 235 00:09:18,790 --> 00:09:15,360 the reservoirs on other worlds i want to 236 00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,800 emphasize that these reservoirs um can 237 00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,880 change with time earth's history is 238 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,959 complex um 239 00:09:28,630 --> 00:09:24,560 this this group probably understands 240 00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:31,509 the evolution of redox fluxes on earth 241 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,959 has changed through time and is 242 00:09:35,430 --> 00:09:34,480 intimately coupled with the evolution of 243 00:09:36,389 --> 00:09:35,440 life 244 00:09:37,350 --> 00:09:36,399 okay so 245 00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:37,360 thinking about planetary 246 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:42,320 serpentinization um what is the flux um 247 00:09:45,590 --> 00:09:44,000 one question we ask we have to ask is 248 00:09:47,350 --> 00:09:45,600 what is the abundance of materials that 249 00:09:49,350 --> 00:09:47,360 may be serpentinized 250 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:49,360 so this is something that mckinnon and 251 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,240 zolensky asked in 2003 252 00:09:58,630 --> 00:09:54,480 and this is a question that's coupled to 253 00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:00,470 so this figure is showing the formation 254 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:02,160 temperature of the object the average 255 00:10:04,389 --> 00:10:03,600 formation the bulk temperature of the 256 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:04,399 object 257 00:10:08,150 --> 00:10:06,399 as a function of size and here i've 258 00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:08,160 indicated the sizes of enceladus and 259 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,880 europa as vertical lines uh and i've set 260 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:12,880 horizontal lines 261 00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:14,640 showing that the 262 00:10:18,630 --> 00:10:16,480 critical transitions from the stability 263 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:18,640 of serpentine to olivine and the melting 264 00:10:22,949 --> 00:10:20,959 of four stripe and phallite 265 00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:22,959 h corresponds to 266 00:10:27,990 --> 00:10:25,200 the qualitative heat retention 267 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:30,230 that is typically assumed to be between 268 00:10:36,470 --> 00:10:33,200 0.4 and 0.5 so what this is saying is 269 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:36,480 that europa is just marginally 270 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:38,800 based on the assumptions and this that 271 00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:40,880 were made in creating this figure just 272 00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:43,360 marginally at the transition of starting 273 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,000 with an anhydrous interior 274 00:10:50,710 --> 00:10:48,160 now if we add tidal heating short-lived 275 00:10:52,389 --> 00:10:50,720 radionuclides um it's easier to imagine 276 00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:52,399 that it got hot 277 00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:54,560 the observation of 278 00:10:58,630 --> 00:10:56,480 signatures of a reduced ocean and 279 00:11:00,949 --> 00:10:58,640 enceladus indicate that 280 00:11:02,949 --> 00:11:00,959 something like surprisation has occurred 281 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:02,959 um so there's more to this story but 282 00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:09,990 okay so the other question is how much 283 00:11:16,470 --> 00:11:12,880 material is accessible by water that is 284 00:11:18,790 --> 00:11:16,480 um if you have a peridotitic mantle um 285 00:11:22,150 --> 00:11:18,800 is all of it altered for earth that is 286 00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:22,160 probably not the case uh 287 00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:24,240 some detail in the last couple days and 288 00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:27,279 this figure is indicating in light brown 289 00:11:30,470 --> 00:11:28,640 the 290 00:11:31,990 --> 00:11:30,480 presumed 291 00:11:33,590 --> 00:11:32,000 depth of alteration this is on a 292 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,600 relative scale 293 00:11:37,990 --> 00:11:35,600 this is from work that i did now 10 294 00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:38,000 years ago 295 00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:39,600 estimating the depth of fluid 296 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:42,560 percolation in other objects so the 297 00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:44,640 assertion is that in a cooler mantle on 298 00:11:49,990 --> 00:11:47,760 mars fluids can percolate deeper um also 299 00:11:52,629 --> 00:11:50,000 that percol 300 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,639 the object pools uh and so you should 301 00:11:57,910 --> 00:11:54,959 expect to have a greater reservoir of 302 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:57,920 alterable material and at enceladus the 303 00:12:01,590 --> 00:12:00,160 entire material may be subject to water 304 00:12:04,550 --> 00:12:01,600 rock alteration 305 00:12:06,710 --> 00:12:04,560 um this is just a figure from a recent 306 00:12:08,310 --> 00:12:06,720 revisiting of that work 307 00:12:11,910 --> 00:12:08,320 that came out 308 00:12:13,509 --> 00:12:11,920 this last year 2016. 309 00:12:15,910 --> 00:12:13,519 envisioning the 310 00:12:18,629 --> 00:12:15,920 rocky interiors of these objects uh as a 311 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,639 function of pressure and temper 312 00:12:22,389 --> 00:12:20,000 ocean depth 313 00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:22,399 so callisto and titan and ganymede start 314 00:12:25,910 --> 00:12:24,160 at very high depths or very high 315 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:25,920 pressures rather because they have very 316 00:12:30,310 --> 00:12:28,079 deep oceans 317 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:30,320 a result of that might be that in these 318 00:12:33,350 --> 00:12:31,760 larger worlds 319 00:12:36,150 --> 00:12:33,360 the extent of serpentinization may be 320 00:12:40,069 --> 00:12:38,360 confirmed by observation um 321 00:12:40,949 --> 00:12:40,079 [Music] 322 00:12:42,389 --> 00:12:40,959 so 323 00:12:44,470 --> 00:12:42,399 then we can ask what are the 324 00:12:45,230 --> 00:12:44,480 corresponding heat and reduction fluxes 325 00:12:50,230 --> 00:12:45,240 from 326 00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:53,030 now the serpentinization i will i will 327 00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,959 indicate from uh 328 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:56,560 the figure from the same paper that came 329 00:13:02,550 --> 00:12:58,959 out last year um this is looking back in 330 00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:02,560 time um as the object uh in question 331 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:04,240 cools um 332 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:07,680 the um more materials exposed and so you 333 00:13:10,230 --> 00:13:08,399 can 334 00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:10,240 correlate that 335 00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:12,800 year per second uh amount of release of 336 00:13:16,470 --> 00:13:14,800 heat and hydrogen so just looking at the 337 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:16,480 right of um 338 00:13:18,829 --> 00:13:17,760 the right side of the figure on the 339 00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:18,839 right at 340 00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:21,360 zero billion years ago that's the 341 00:13:26,150 --> 00:13:23,600 present day and i'm indicating uh the 342 00:13:29,750 --> 00:13:26,160 range of estimated fluxes of h2 for 343 00:13:31,509 --> 00:13:29,760 earth um to quite a broad range but it's 344 00:13:33,910 --> 00:13:31,519 less than the 345 00:13:37,110 --> 00:13:33,920 net oxygen production on earth as 346 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:37,120 estimated as described in 347 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:38,720 you know we can ask are there similar 348 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:40,000 stories that we can construct for these 349 00:13:43,030 --> 00:13:42,000 other objects i did that for europa in 350 00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:43,040 this paper 351 00:13:46,150 --> 00:13:44,320 um 352 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:46,160 but you know it's interesting to ask 353 00:13:51,590 --> 00:13:49,040 whether global serpentinization will 354 00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:51,600 be able to produce more hydrogen 355 00:13:56,949 --> 00:13:54,800 on mars europa enceladus series 356 00:13:58,550 --> 00:13:56,959 than is produced on earth 357 00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:58,560 the left side the left figure showing 358 00:14:03,030 --> 00:14:01,199 the serpentinization heat the the lower 359 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:03,040 curves or the pentamization heat 360 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:06,000 milliwatts per meter squared um 361 00:14:09,829 --> 00:14:07,600 the radiogenic heat 362 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:09,839 is always much larger so that the amount 363 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:11,760 of heat generated globally is not large 364 00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:13,920 perhaps it's nevertheless important for 365 00:14:22,389 --> 00:14:17,760 driving uh hydrothermal activity 366 00:14:25,990 --> 00:14:24,629 the other speaker's gonna have to uh and 367 00:14:28,550 --> 00:14:26,000 so yeah we've got some great talks lined 368 00:14:32,310 --> 00:14:28,560 up uh christoph zotan elena amador mark 369 00:14:34,470 --> 00:14:32,320 neva klein with some uh pop-up talks uh 370 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:34,480 i believe at this point we have um 371 00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:36,320 uh julie castillo 372 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:37,360 um 373 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:40,399 brown 374 00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:42,160 uh and penny morill 375 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:51,670 okay well i have to unmute first and i 376 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:54,480 have you you told me 25 minutes is that 377 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:55,440 correct 378 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:56,959 yeah 379 00:15:03,750 --> 00:15:00,720 okay so i first need to share my my uh 380 00:15:06,150 --> 00:15:03,760 webcam i guess 381 00:15:09,990 --> 00:15:06,160 yep okay 382 00:15:16,629 --> 00:15:13,509 the webcam on my computer interesting 383 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:16,639 and uh well so steve asked me to 384 00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:19,279 um give a talk more about the evidences 385 00:15:24,389 --> 00:15:22,480 for extraterrestrial hydrated silicates 386 00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:24,399 and at the beginning i thought it was 387 00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:28,240 only on on ocean worlds 388 00:15:31,509 --> 00:15:29,680 but 389 00:15:33,470 --> 00:15:31,519 then i decided to put something on mold 390 00:15:34,949 --> 00:15:33,480 because i did some more 391 00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:34,959 [Music] 392 00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:36,959 work some time ago and we know that one 393 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:38,480 more there are some hydrated tickets 394 00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:40,720 there 395 00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:42,240 so 396 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:46,079 hydrated treats i guess uh 397 00:15:49,030 --> 00:15:47,600 we heard that yesterday and the day 398 00:15:51,030 --> 00:15:49,040 before 399 00:15:54,629 --> 00:15:51,040 it's about the emergence of life at 400 00:15:55,910 --> 00:15:54,639 places where water and rock can react 401 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:55,920 and 402 00:16:02,389 --> 00:16:00,079 also there is this exploration of ocean 403 00:16:04,389 --> 00:16:02,399 worlds and to see places in these ocean 404 00:16:06,230 --> 00:16:04,399 worlds where we can have this 405 00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:06,240 interaction between 406 00:16:12,550 --> 00:16:09,199 water and rocks 407 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:12,560 uh so i put together um the different 408 00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:15,120 places and the solar system where we can 409 00:16:18,150 --> 00:16:16,240 uh 410 00:16:21,269 --> 00:16:18,160 have this kind of interaction we know 411 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:21,279 that on mars there was water from when 412 00:16:25,590 --> 00:16:23,680 mars was younger and 413 00:16:26,629 --> 00:16:25,600 i guess at the end of the night ken 414 00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:26,639 period 415 00:16:30,470 --> 00:16:28,320 people mentioned we know that there are 416 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:30,480 river networks it's possible that there 417 00:16:34,829 --> 00:16:33,120 was an ocean on mars at some point 418 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,839 of course the earth is our 419 00:16:37,990 --> 00:16:36,560 benchmark and 420 00:16:40,629 --> 00:16:38,000 then 421 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,639 i mean on this on this line uh 422 00:16:48,629 --> 00:16:41,680 the 423 00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:48,639 it increases with atmospheric density at 424 00:16:51,990 --> 00:16:50,240 the surface and so that's why you have 425 00:16:54,310 --> 00:16:52,000 titan which is here 426 00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,320 on titans the pressure at the surface is 427 00:16:58,230 --> 00:16:56,480 1.5 bar but the density is about four 428 00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:58,240 times the density that we have on earth 429 00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,639 because the temperature is much smaller 430 00:17:04,949 --> 00:17:03,120 and i will come back on on titan later 431 00:17:07,590 --> 00:17:04,959 but uh you will see that from the 432 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,600 gravity data that were acquired by the 433 00:17:11,669 --> 00:17:09,039 casino mission 434 00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:11,679 um we think that the interior of titan 435 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:14,160 is made of hydrated silicate and so it's 436 00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:15,439 a huge 437 00:17:20,230 --> 00:17:18,559 actually 438 00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,240 and then we have venus so for venus we 439 00:17:25,189 --> 00:17:22,799 don't have any uh evidence for that an 440 00:17:27,829 --> 00:17:25,199 ocean existed in the past but venus had 441 00:17:29,350 --> 00:17:27,839 resurfacing about 500 million years ago 442 00:17:31,590 --> 00:17:29,360 or maybe one billion years ago and we 443 00:17:33,510 --> 00:17:31,600 don't know exactly what happened before 444 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:33,520 then the vertical axis 445 00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:36,080 i put that as ocean rock exchange 446 00:17:40,710 --> 00:17:37,840 and so on the vertical axis i'm trying 447 00:17:48,870 --> 00:17:40,720 to get the green arrow for what do i 448 00:17:52,789 --> 00:17:50,630 oh yeah just um chris click on your 449 00:17:57,669 --> 00:17:52,799 slides where you want uh the arrow to go 450 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,990 yeah so um if you have ganymede and 451 00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:01,919 ganymede is an interesting case and i 452 00:18:05,190 --> 00:18:04,080 will start with ganymede in my next 453 00:18:07,029 --> 00:18:05,200 slide 454 00:18:09,750 --> 00:18:07,039 uh then you have titan which is here 455 00:18:13,029 --> 00:18:09,760 where i just mentioned the iot kit 456 00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:13,039 uh i put europa and steve mentioned 457 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:15,520 europa you can see the ocean on europa 458 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,240 is much thinner than the ocean we can 459 00:18:22,870 --> 00:18:21,039 have on the ganymede or or titan and 460 00:18:24,789 --> 00:18:22,880 then there is answer and something we 461 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,799 have to keep in mind is also the size of 462 00:18:29,350 --> 00:18:26,240 the different bodies so it's not 463 00:18:31,990 --> 00:18:29,360 respected here i'm sorry i couldn't 464 00:18:34,630 --> 00:18:32,000 make a nicer slide but anthrax is only 465 00:18:37,470 --> 00:18:34,640 250 kilometers in radius 466 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:37,480 um titan is 22 467 00:18:42,870 --> 00:18:40,720 575 kilometers so it's about 10 times in 468 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:42,880 the size of entreaders in terms of 469 00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:45,120 radius but of course the earth is more 470 00:18:50,070 --> 00:18:47,600 than 6000 kilometers in radius so it's 471 00:18:51,909 --> 00:18:50,080 uh twice as large as titan 472 00:18:53,990 --> 00:18:51,919 ganymede and titan are about the same 473 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,000 size 474 00:18:57,270 --> 00:18:56,480 so the you know the questions we 475 00:18:59,350 --> 00:18:57,280 we 476 00:19:01,430 --> 00:18:59,360 want to ask and 477 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:01,440 maybe several of them but uh what are 478 00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:03,760 the conditions uh which 479 00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:05,840 for example make titan and ganymede so 480 00:19:10,230 --> 00:19:08,480 different why ganymede you we don't 481 00:19:12,230 --> 00:19:10,240 think that there is a hydrated g case 482 00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:12,240 whereas on titan we 483 00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:14,320 it seems like we have identity but i 484 00:19:17,830 --> 00:19:16,240 just want to focus on 485 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:17,840 on the evidences so i will start with 486 00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:23,990 i'm not using the right button okay here 487 00:19:27,830 --> 00:19:25,280 we are 488 00:19:29,990 --> 00:19:27,840 so on mars there were two infrared 489 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:30,000 mapping spectrometers on north express 490 00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:32,799 we had the omega 491 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:34,720 which uh 492 00:19:38,390 --> 00:19:36,960 which acquired the first uh i think it's 493 00:19:40,630 --> 00:19:38,400 it raised instruments that discovered 494 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:40,640 the hydrated silicates on the 495 00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:43,200 on hydrated mirrors sorry let's see 496 00:19:47,510 --> 00:19:45,520 hydrated mirrors on the surface of mars 497 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:47,520 and this is a map that was published in 498 00:19:52,310 --> 00:19:50,080 2007 499 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:52,320 and eight by francois pulley and john 500 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:54,240 mustard 501 00:19:58,470 --> 00:19:56,240 and so there are the different places 502 00:19:59,590 --> 00:19:58,480 where they identify the hydrated 503 00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:59,600 minerals 504 00:20:03,110 --> 00:20:01,440 and then chrisam 505 00:20:04,549 --> 00:20:03,120 had a much higher 506 00:20:07,990 --> 00:20:04,559 resolution 507 00:20:11,430 --> 00:20:08,000 and chrism found out something like uh 508 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:11,440 1200 occurrences are hydrated kits these 509 00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:13,360 are the red points uh you can see so 510 00:20:18,310 --> 00:20:16,080 although most of the poles are located 511 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:18,320 in the southern hemisphere of morse 512 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:20,480 which is elevated you can see that there 513 00:20:24,149 --> 00:20:22,320 are a few places in the northern 514 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:24,159 hemisphere where apparently you have 515 00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:26,720 also some hydrated silicates 516 00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:28,320 and there may be you know some 517 00:20:33,190 --> 00:20:30,960 difficulty in finding the hydrated 518 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:33,200 minerals in the northern hemisphere 519 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,799 because infrared the um infrared remote 520 00:20:41,190 --> 00:20:39,200 sensing can see only the few 521 00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:41,200 micrometers of the surface or maybe the 522 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:42,559 you know the few millimeters of the 523 00:20:45,669 --> 00:20:44,159 surface and you have a lot of dust in 524 00:20:46,549 --> 00:20:45,679 the northern hemisphere so it's not 525 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:46,559 clear 526 00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:47,440 that 527 00:20:51,590 --> 00:20:49,039 you don't have 528 00:20:55,669 --> 00:20:51,600 more hydrated minerals 529 00:20:59,430 --> 00:20:56,630 uh 530 00:21:01,110 --> 00:20:59,440 then you know all the information and 531 00:21:03,029 --> 00:21:01,120 i show that because 532 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:03,039 a mars has a 533 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:05,120 remnant magnetic field in the southern 534 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:08,159 hemisphere and one way you can create a 535 00:21:12,390 --> 00:21:09,919 remnant magnetic field 536 00:21:16,230 --> 00:21:12,400 is by having some magnetite 537 00:21:18,070 --> 00:21:16,240 crystallizing uh into uh 538 00:21:20,149 --> 00:21:18,080 a magnetic field of mars and we believe 539 00:21:22,950 --> 00:21:20,159 that more sun must have had a magnetic 540 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:22,960 field early on and of course magnetite 541 00:21:26,470 --> 00:21:25,360 can be formed if you hydrate the the 542 00:21:28,789 --> 00:21:26,480 minerals 543 00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:28,799 so it's interesting to see that most of 544 00:21:34,390 --> 00:21:31,600 the of the magnetic field is located in 545 00:21:35,909 --> 00:21:34,400 the south and hemisphere which is also 546 00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:35,919 more elevated 547 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:39,919 and that's what triggered a study 548 00:21:45,350 --> 00:21:42,880 by johann canella 549 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,360 in uh published in 2008 i think it was 550 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:47,039 in epsilon 551 00:21:52,789 --> 00:21:49,440 and in this model we just compared the 552 00:21:54,710 --> 00:21:52,799 density of uh hydrated silicates which 553 00:21:56,830 --> 00:21:54,720 is lower than the density 554 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:56,840 of both of the density of 555 00:22:01,590 --> 00:21:59,120 peridotite and we looked at the 556 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:01,600 difference in elevation between the 557 00:22:05,430 --> 00:22:03,120 northern hemisphere and the south and 558 00:22:07,909 --> 00:22:05,440 hemisphere on on marsa 559 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:07,919 and we determine some kind of values for 560 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:10,080 how much hydrated silicates you would 561 00:22:13,350 --> 00:22:12,320 need in order to create these variations 562 00:22:15,590 --> 00:22:13,360 and that was 563 00:22:18,149 --> 00:22:15,600 also with the gravity data 564 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:18,159 and then there were some thermal models 565 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:20,159 where we plot the temperature as a 566 00:22:24,710 --> 00:22:22,640 function of pressure or 567 00:22:27,350 --> 00:22:24,720 here you have the depth 568 00:22:30,390 --> 00:22:27,360 so you have different uh 569 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:30,400 thermal gradients from 20 kelvin per 570 00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:33,280 kilometer which would be the highest 571 00:22:37,510 --> 00:22:36,000 symbol gradient and here you have a 5 kv 572 00:22:39,190 --> 00:22:37,520 in per kilometer 573 00:22:40,630 --> 00:22:39,200 and of course the larger the the 574 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:40,640 gradient 575 00:22:44,230 --> 00:22:42,080 the more 576 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:44,240 the the larger the temperature increases 577 00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:45,520 with depth 578 00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:47,679 and then uh shallower depths you will 579 00:22:52,149 --> 00:22:50,000 get the transition from 580 00:22:55,510 --> 00:22:52,159 the hydrated minerals to 581 00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:55,520 dehydrated minerals so this is a one 582 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:56,640 example 583 00:23:02,070 --> 00:22:59,280 uh where you have uh blue site and 584 00:23:04,230 --> 00:23:02,080 crystal which would be on top with a 585 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:04,240 very low density that we can see here 586 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,240 and if you have isostatic 587 00:23:10,549 --> 00:23:08,400 equilibrium then you create this 588 00:23:13,510 --> 00:23:10,559 difference in topography 589 00:23:17,110 --> 00:23:13,520 and of course you know another two 590 00:23:19,750 --> 00:23:17,120 um two explanations to explain the 591 00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:19,760 the difference in topography 592 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:21,679 one is to say that the crystal thickness 593 00:23:24,870 --> 00:23:22,960 is different between the northern 594 00:23:26,549 --> 00:23:24,880 hemisphere and the south and hemisphere 595 00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:26,559 and because of the difference in cursor 596 00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:27,919 thickness and then you create a 597 00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:29,919 difference in topography 598 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:31,520 but the other way is to say that you 599 00:23:35,510 --> 00:23:33,760 have lateral variations in density 600 00:23:37,590 --> 00:23:35,520 and the gravity data by themselves 601 00:23:38,710 --> 00:23:37,600 cannot distinguish between the the two 602 00:23:41,190 --> 00:23:38,720 models 603 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:41,200 and it's possible that with insight with 604 00:23:45,110 --> 00:23:43,919 the seismometers on on insight 605 00:23:48,070 --> 00:23:45,120 then we will 606 00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:48,080 get information about the density of the 607 00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:51,360 motion crust and we will be able to see 608 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:53,200 whether or not there is a density 609 00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:55,440 difference between the south and eastern 610 00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:57,360 the north and asia which of course would 611 00:24:04,390 --> 00:23:59,679 be great 612 00:24:05,909 --> 00:24:04,400 okay next so now we're going to move to 613 00:24:09,029 --> 00:24:05,919 i see 614 00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:09,039 moons ocean worlds 615 00:24:12,549 --> 00:24:10,320 this is a 616 00:24:14,230 --> 00:24:12,559 slide that i picked from killing and the 617 00:24:16,390 --> 00:24:14,240 earth in the middle so now we have the 618 00:24:18,470 --> 00:24:16,400 right size for the different uh icy 619 00:24:20,950 --> 00:24:18,480 worlds we have entered us here 620 00:24:22,870 --> 00:24:20,960 you have getting mad here and 621 00:24:26,149 --> 00:24:22,880 saitan is here you can see this about 622 00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:26,159 the same size and europa is uh is a 623 00:24:30,549 --> 00:24:28,320 planet here 624 00:24:33,350 --> 00:24:30,559 so we i start with uh genius just to 625 00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:33,360 explain how we get information about 626 00:24:37,590 --> 00:24:34,720 the density 627 00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:37,600 of the silicate core and 628 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:39,520 steve led the study here which was 629 00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:45,190 and 630 00:24:50,549 --> 00:24:46,720 what we 631 00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:50,559 galileo mission 632 00:24:55,350 --> 00:24:52,559 and we have some ideas about what we 633 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,360 call the gravity coefficient which is 634 00:25:00,310 --> 00:24:57,120 this value of 635 00:25:02,070 --> 00:25:00,320 c22 so this is what is measured and you 636 00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:02,080 can relate 637 00:25:07,830 --> 00:25:04,799 this gravity coefficient 638 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:07,840 to a parameter which we call the love 639 00:25:13,669 --> 00:25:11,039 number kf which is here 640 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,679 and the other parameters are well known 641 00:25:20,470 --> 00:25:16,080 that the spin rate at the radius 642 00:25:23,590 --> 00:25:20,480 but gm is the gravity constant times 643 00:25:25,830 --> 00:25:23,600 the mass so this part is known so from 644 00:25:27,110 --> 00:25:25,840 the gravity coefficient he knows this 645 00:25:30,870 --> 00:25:27,120 love number 646 00:25:33,110 --> 00:25:30,880 relationship between 647 00:25:36,310 --> 00:25:33,120 the moment of inertia from 648 00:25:39,269 --> 00:25:36,320 along the spin axis which is a c here 649 00:25:40,950 --> 00:25:39,279 and the love number kf which is here 650 00:25:44,470 --> 00:25:40,960 so from the gravity 651 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,480 you know ks and from kf you can get the 652 00:25:48,390 --> 00:25:46,720 value of the moment of inertia and the 653 00:25:50,870 --> 00:25:48,400 moment of inertia 654 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:50,880 is related to the distribution of the 655 00:25:55,830 --> 00:25:53,840 density here as a function of the radius 656 00:25:58,230 --> 00:25:55,840 and this is the expression of the moment 657 00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:58,240 of inertia so you can see the density 658 00:26:03,269 --> 00:26:00,640 here which depends on the radius 659 00:26:04,630 --> 00:26:03,279 and it's um you integrate and you have 660 00:26:07,990 --> 00:26:04,640 the 661 00:26:10,149 --> 00:26:08,000 to a power of four of course we also 662 00:26:11,190 --> 00:26:10,159 know the the mass and we know the radius 663 00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:11,200 or you have 664 00:26:15,029 --> 00:26:13,039 information about 665 00:26:16,390 --> 00:26:15,039 the total mass of the planet so when you 666 00:26:18,390 --> 00:26:16,400 you solve 667 00:26:19,510 --> 00:26:18,400 of course you have many more 668 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:19,520 unknowns 669 00:26:25,269 --> 00:26:20,400 that 670 00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:25,279 start with the differentiate the 671 00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:27,600 gallimet and on ganymede we know that 672 00:26:32,390 --> 00:26:30,240 there is a liquid iron in the center 673 00:26:34,470 --> 00:26:32,400 because there is a dynamo form 674 00:26:37,029 --> 00:26:34,480 so you can build some thermal profile so 675 00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:37,039 you you would have in the center liquid 676 00:26:39,990 --> 00:26:38,559 iron 677 00:26:42,470 --> 00:26:40,000 the brown 678 00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:42,480 layer would be the silicates 679 00:26:46,950 --> 00:26:44,799 and then because we know the equation of 680 00:26:49,990 --> 00:26:46,960 state which is important 681 00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:50,000 then you would have high pressure ice 682 00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:52,000 we also know that there is an induced 683 00:26:56,470 --> 00:26:54,159 magnetic field which is best explained 684 00:27:00,310 --> 00:26:56,480 by the presence of an ocean on ganimela 685 00:27:04,149 --> 00:27:00,320 that could be the dark blue ear and 686 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,159 at the surface you have the ice crust 687 00:27:09,510 --> 00:27:06,640 so if you take the phase diagram of 688 00:27:11,669 --> 00:27:09,520 water which is uh here 689 00:27:13,669 --> 00:27:11,679 the pressure from increases to the 690 00:27:15,830 --> 00:27:13,679 bottom so this is the depth and this is 691 00:27:18,389 --> 00:27:15,840 in steve's paper 692 00:27:20,710 --> 00:27:18,399 so you can see that the ice one which is 693 00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:20,720 a low pressure ice has a melting 694 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:23,600 temperature that decreases with pressure 695 00:27:27,830 --> 00:27:25,200 and then at the pressure which 696 00:27:31,510 --> 00:27:27,840 corresponds to about 120 kilometers 697 00:27:33,430 --> 00:27:31,520 there from ganymede you you you change 698 00:27:35,190 --> 00:27:33,440 the low pressure ice into higher 699 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:35,200 pressure species 700 00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:38,559 i3 i5 i6 some 701 00:27:42,630 --> 00:27:41,760 and so at some point when you plug the 702 00:27:44,310 --> 00:27:42,640 summer 703 00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:44,320 gradient uh 704 00:27:48,870 --> 00:27:46,799 profile speaking this curve here 705 00:27:51,350 --> 00:27:48,880 what happens is that uh 706 00:27:53,430 --> 00:27:51,360 the temperature increases with depth 707 00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:53,440 and we take equation of state of water 708 00:27:56,710 --> 00:27:55,360 and we assume that we have adiabatic 709 00:27:59,029 --> 00:27:56,720 transfer and you can see that the 710 00:28:00,630 --> 00:27:59,039 temperature increases but at some point 711 00:28:03,269 --> 00:28:00,640 you cross the freezing temperature 712 00:28:05,909 --> 00:28:03,279 between the water the liquid and the 713 00:28:08,230 --> 00:28:05,919 high pressure ice in that case that's i6 714 00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:08,240 and that's why you have this layer here 715 00:28:11,909 --> 00:28:10,320 so if you add equation of state and the 716 00:28:14,470 --> 00:28:11,919 phase diagram then you have some 717 00:28:16,389 --> 00:28:14,480 constraint about the the layer of ice 718 00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:16,399 and then you can determine what's the 719 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:20,000 density of the silicates and the density 720 00:28:23,750 --> 00:28:22,480 of the iron core and for ganymede you 721 00:28:25,830 --> 00:28:23,760 find that you 722 00:28:28,710 --> 00:28:25,840 everything works really well with the 723 00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:28,720 density of dehydrated silicates you know 724 00:28:33,430 --> 00:28:30,880 you take peridotite and it gives a good 725 00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:33,440 value for the moment of inertia so for 726 00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:34,720 gandinez 727 00:28:39,029 --> 00:28:37,200 we think it's fully differentiated that 728 00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:39,039 the water 729 00:28:46,230 --> 00:28:41,520 the h2o layer is differentiated from 730 00:28:51,750 --> 00:28:49,350 okay so now we move to amsterdam because 731 00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:51,760 we have quite a lot of information from 732 00:28:57,430 --> 00:28:55,039 ansel adas with cassini here first we 733 00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:57,440 know so we have the mass 734 00:29:02,549 --> 00:28:59,200 we have the radius 735 00:29:05,029 --> 00:29:02,559 the moment of inertia for storage is to 736 00:29:07,350 --> 00:29:05,039 erase the values but moment of inertia 737 00:29:09,510 --> 00:29:07,360 is 0.335 738 00:29:11,430 --> 00:29:09,520 but if you take into account 739 00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:11,440 non-hydrostatic 740 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:12,399 pressure 741 00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:15,600 on the south pole of antaradas that was 742 00:29:19,750 --> 00:29:17,679 a study by bill mckinnon and there was 743 00:29:21,990 --> 00:29:19,760 also a study by gail and stevenson in 744 00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:22,000 2013 745 00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:24,880 then you find out that you should take a 746 00:29:32,230 --> 00:29:29,200 value of 0.330 instead of 0.335 it 747 00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:32,240 doesn't change much the results but 748 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:33,520 it's important 749 00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:35,200 then you take a model where you have 750 00:29:43,190 --> 00:29:41,669 then for dynamic uh considerations 751 00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:43,200 um you 752 00:29:48,310 --> 00:29:45,600 you can determine the thickness of the 753 00:29:51,830 --> 00:29:48,320 ice layer can vary from six kilometers 754 00:29:54,950 --> 00:29:51,840 at the south pole to about 20 to 40 755 00:29:57,110 --> 00:29:54,960 kilometers at the equator 756 00:30:00,230 --> 00:29:57,120 and these are studies by bill mckinnon 757 00:30:01,909 --> 00:30:00,240 again in 2015 but there was also for a 758 00:30:05,190 --> 00:30:01,919 more recent study by 759 00:30:06,870 --> 00:30:05,200 cadet in 2016 760 00:30:09,590 --> 00:30:06,880 and then we have also some information 761 00:30:11,430 --> 00:30:09,600 about the density of the ocean i forgot 762 00:30:14,389 --> 00:30:11,440 to mention that we know that there is an 763 00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:14,399 ocean on third a global ocean 764 00:30:19,750 --> 00:30:17,520 because the vibration of unsoldered 765 00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:19,760 demonstrates that you have a decoupling 766 00:30:24,950 --> 00:30:22,080 between the crust and the interior there 767 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:24,960 is a global ocean on ontario 768 00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:27,120 um i want to precise that because i 769 00:30:31,990 --> 00:30:29,919 think in uh in the slides that steve 770 00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:32,000 mentioned before 771 00:30:35,590 --> 00:30:34,240 it was just a local ocean as a south 772 00:30:37,750 --> 00:30:35,600 pole but now we know that there is a 773 00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:37,760 global ocean 774 00:30:42,310 --> 00:30:40,880 and so the the density of ice um um 775 00:30:44,389 --> 00:30:42,320 [Music] 776 00:30:46,789 --> 00:30:44,399 because there are geysers on entourage 777 00:30:48,070 --> 00:30:46,799 so we know also that the geysers 778 00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:48,080 are 779 00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:50,559 chewing some water from uh 780 00:30:55,430 --> 00:30:53,520 from the ocean so we can get information 781 00:30:57,269 --> 00:30:55,440 about the density of the ocean and i 782 00:30:58,230 --> 00:30:57,279 guess chris is going to see more about 783 00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:58,240 that 784 00:31:02,549 --> 00:31:00,799 and then you solve for the mass and for 785 00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:02,559 the moment of inertia 786 00:31:08,549 --> 00:31:05,440 and you get the values which are on the 787 00:31:10,789 --> 00:31:08,559 on the right so for the cdk core 788 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:10,799 the two unknowns would be the density of 789 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:12,880 the silicate core and the radius of the 790 00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:14,960 silicate core and what you find out is 791 00:31:19,909 --> 00:31:17,200 that the density of the silicate core is 792 00:31:21,509 --> 00:31:19,919 something like 2450 793 00:31:23,269 --> 00:31:21,519 it can vary 794 00:31:25,110 --> 00:31:23,279 a little bit 795 00:31:28,630 --> 00:31:25,120 but it doesn't vary much you know it can 796 00:31:30,470 --> 00:31:28,640 be 2500 maybe or 2400 797 00:31:32,389 --> 00:31:30,480 and the radius can vary by a few 798 00:31:34,230 --> 00:31:32,399 kilometers but re if you take this 799 00:31:37,990 --> 00:31:34,240 equation it gives you very good 800 00:31:40,630 --> 00:31:38,000 constraints on the density of the core 801 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:40,640 so in order to get this kind of density 802 00:31:47,990 --> 00:31:43,760 if you look at the density of minerals 803 00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:48,000 if you take uh antigo right which is uh 804 00:31:53,110 --> 00:31:50,480 if you take only the magnesium size of 805 00:31:55,950 --> 00:31:53,120 antigonita you find that the density is 806 00:31:59,509 --> 00:31:55,960 larger than that actually you have 807 00:32:00,470 --> 00:31:59,519 2580 yeah if you start adding 808 00:32:03,350 --> 00:32:00,480 iron 809 00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:03,360 then you have more than three thousand 810 00:32:07,590 --> 00:32:05,200 for the density but depending on the 811 00:32:10,549 --> 00:32:07,600 amount of iron you get density even 812 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,559 larger of course if you take borosite uh 813 00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:12,559 the magnesium 814 00:32:18,230 --> 00:32:15,600 and for either lower than ct but uh if 815 00:32:20,470 --> 00:32:18,240 you include the the iron then it 816 00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:20,480 becomes much louder 817 00:32:27,350 --> 00:32:23,120 so the idea is that actually the the the 818 00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:27,360 for the core of ontario's is porous 819 00:32:31,190 --> 00:32:29,039 and so when you 820 00:32:33,269 --> 00:32:31,200 when you look at the porosity as a 821 00:32:35,710 --> 00:32:33,279 function of the iron number 822 00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:35,720 and if you take this value of 823 00:32:41,269 --> 00:32:39,120 2450 for the density of the core you 824 00:32:42,950 --> 00:32:41,279 find that even if there is no iron you 825 00:32:46,630 --> 00:32:42,960 have a density which is close to 10 826 00:32:49,269 --> 00:32:46,640 percent and if you add you know 30 iron 827 00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:49,279 or iron number which is iron divided by 828 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:52,000 iron plus magnesium if you take a value 829 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:52,880 of 830 00:32:59,669 --> 00:32:57,760 20 831 00:33:01,830 --> 00:32:59,679 and keeping in mind that the pressure in 832 00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:01,840 the core is very small it's we're 833 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:04,720 talking about tenths of npa so as steve 834 00:33:09,029 --> 00:33:06,159 mentioned before 835 00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:09,039 um if we take uh what we know about the 836 00:33:14,389 --> 00:33:11,440 earth and the depths at which water can 837 00:33:18,630 --> 00:33:14,399 percolate and you find out that uh the 838 00:33:22,710 --> 00:33:20,310 and uh you know the next thing is that 839 00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:22,720 the porosity is very sensitive to 840 00:33:28,149 --> 00:33:24,640 the density of the core and of course to 841 00:33:32,310 --> 00:33:30,230 um so there have been some studies i i 842 00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:32,320 won't go into into the studies but about 843 00:33:35,830 --> 00:33:34,640 how much tiger dissipation can happen in 844 00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:35,840 the core 845 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:39,360 and there is a paper from which is uh 846 00:33:44,389 --> 00:33:42,000 which has been submitted and 847 00:33:47,430 --> 00:33:44,399 about the amount of title eating and we 848 00:33:49,350 --> 00:33:47,440 get values which are just uh huge in 849 00:33:50,870 --> 00:33:49,360 terms of the amount of tidal eating in 850 00:33:53,909 --> 00:33:50,880 this kind of 851 00:33:56,789 --> 00:33:54,950 um 852 00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:56,799 the other thing that i think uh chris is 853 00:34:00,710 --> 00:33:58,799 going to mention that but we are 854 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:00,720 hydrogen has been observed in the proof 855 00:34:06,149 --> 00:34:03,760 upon foreigners by the cassini ilms of 856 00:34:07,509 --> 00:34:06,159 course just to show that you can produce 857 00:34:09,829 --> 00:34:07,519 hydrogen 858 00:34:11,270 --> 00:34:09,839 from the hydration of energy that's 859 00:34:14,310 --> 00:34:11,280 olivine 860 00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:14,320 and if you transform the part of the sa2 861 00:34:17,829 --> 00:34:16,480 plus into ss3 process then you create 862 00:34:21,430 --> 00:34:17,839 the hydrogen but 863 00:34:25,190 --> 00:34:23,909 on this for this workshop so i won't go 864 00:34:27,109 --> 00:34:25,200 into the details but you know that's 865 00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:27,119 another evidence that this kind of 866 00:34:31,750 --> 00:34:30,000 reaction may actually happen inside on 867 00:34:34,389 --> 00:34:31,760 solidus 868 00:34:35,589 --> 00:34:34,399 and i just put all the information 869 00:34:39,030 --> 00:34:35,599 on uh 870 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:39,040 on one plot uh comparing europa 871 00:34:44,389 --> 00:34:42,320 on solidus and the earth 872 00:34:47,669 --> 00:34:44,399 so let's see the pressure is the 873 00:34:49,750 --> 00:34:47,679 vertical axis it increases to the bottom 874 00:34:52,950 --> 00:34:49,760 as the temperature is the horizontal 875 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:52,960 axis but it increases to the right 876 00:34:55,669 --> 00:34:54,240 in red 877 00:34:58,470 --> 00:34:55,679 you have a 878 00:35:00,390 --> 00:34:58,480 thermal profile for the earth 879 00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:00,400 so you go into the crust and then the 880 00:35:05,430 --> 00:35:03,680 temperature increases um and i forgot to 881 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:05,440 mention that this is the phase diagram 882 00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:07,280 of water so you have the triple point of 883 00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:09,760 water which is here so you have the ice 884 00:35:13,670 --> 00:35:11,119 on the left 885 00:35:16,230 --> 00:35:13,680 you have the vapor on the right and you 886 00:35:19,670 --> 00:35:16,240 have the liquid inside this domain 887 00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:19,680 between the freezing temperature 888 00:35:23,430 --> 00:35:21,920 here by the way that's high pressure ice 889 00:35:26,470 --> 00:35:23,440 and here you have 890 00:35:30,870 --> 00:35:26,480 the critical point of water 891 00:35:32,630 --> 00:35:30,880 which is at 650 degrees that can be 892 00:35:34,710 --> 00:35:32,640 so if you look at the earth in the 893 00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:34,720 correct of the ursa if you don't take it 894 00:35:38,790 --> 00:35:36,720 to account i draw some more circulation 895 00:35:41,910 --> 00:35:38,800 what you find out is that 896 00:35:44,390 --> 00:35:41,920 the water is in the liquid phase 897 00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:44,400 if you look at europa uh 898 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:47,040 the thermal profile is a green one 899 00:35:51,030 --> 00:35:49,119 so in the crust of europa 900 00:35:52,230 --> 00:35:51,040 you increase the temperature at this 901 00:35:53,829 --> 00:35:52,240 point here 902 00:35:56,550 --> 00:35:53,839 the temperature 903 00:35:57,430 --> 00:35:56,560 crosses the melting temperature so that 904 00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:57,440 would be 905 00:36:00,870 --> 00:35:59,359 the interface between the cross and the 906 00:36:02,870 --> 00:36:00,880 ocean 907 00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:02,880 and then uh 908 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:06,000 here you are in the ocean so this uh 909 00:36:10,230 --> 00:36:07,920 domain on the green curve that's the 910 00:36:12,390 --> 00:36:10,240 domain of the ocean and on europa there 911 00:36:13,670 --> 00:36:12,400 is not much h2o so at some point you 912 00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:13,680 reach a 913 00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:15,040 secret 914 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:16,160 core 915 00:36:20,310 --> 00:36:18,560 and this is this point here and then the 916 00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:20,320 temperature increases 917 00:36:25,030 --> 00:36:22,640 and what i find interesting is that you 918 00:36:27,589 --> 00:36:25,040 find out that the conditions of pressure 919 00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:27,599 and temperature on europa in the 920 00:36:30,390 --> 00:36:29,280 subsurface in the 921 00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:30,400 um 922 00:36:34,230 --> 00:36:31,520 in the 923 00:36:36,470 --> 00:36:34,240 delicate core of europa is very similar 924 00:36:38,310 --> 00:36:36,480 to what we have in the 925 00:36:40,870 --> 00:36:38,320 in the current of the earth 926 00:36:41,829 --> 00:36:40,880 now if you look at the answers so that's 927 00:37:41,030 --> 00:36:41,839 a 928 00:37:43,510 --> 00:37:41,040 so 929 00:37:45,990 --> 00:37:43,520 one major difference between uh titan 930 00:37:50,230 --> 00:37:46,000 and on solid oh sorry ganymede so for 931 00:37:54,390 --> 00:37:50,240 ganymede the moment of inertia is 0.310 932 00:37:56,390 --> 00:37:54,400 and for titan it's a 0.3414 933 00:37:58,069 --> 00:37:56,400 and the other five is the entirety on 934 00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:58,079 the last number here 935 00:38:02,870 --> 00:38:00,320 you can see the moment of inertia for 936 00:38:04,550 --> 00:38:02,880 titan is much larger than the moment of 937 00:38:06,390 --> 00:38:04,560 inertia for ganymede so it means that 938 00:38:10,470 --> 00:38:06,400 titan is much less 939 00:38:13,030 --> 00:38:10,480 differentiated than ganymede 940 00:38:14,710 --> 00:38:13,040 we have some additional information on 941 00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:14,720 titan 942 00:38:18,550 --> 00:38:17,359 we were able to guess the peridot number 943 00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:18,560 from 944 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:22,960 it is a very large value 945 00:38:27,190 --> 00:38:24,640 and it works only if there is a 946 00:38:29,349 --> 00:38:27,200 decoupling between the crust of titan 947 00:38:32,230 --> 00:38:29,359 and the interior of titan 948 00:38:34,630 --> 00:38:32,240 so it's one way to demonstrate that 949 00:38:36,950 --> 00:38:34,640 there is a global ocean on titan and 950 00:38:38,790 --> 00:38:36,960 then when against um descended into 951 00:38:43,190 --> 00:38:38,800 python's 952 00:38:44,790 --> 00:38:43,200 atmosphere um it's uh recorded as the 953 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:44,800 electric field 954 00:38:50,470 --> 00:38:47,760 and there is a paper by christian began 955 00:38:53,589 --> 00:38:50,480 ital in 2012 saying that the best 956 00:38:56,230 --> 00:38:53,599 explanation is by adding a conductor at 957 00:38:57,910 --> 00:38:56,240 about 65 kilometers depth and the 958 00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:57,920 conductor we are thinking of would be 959 00:38:59,829 --> 00:38:59,119 the ocean 960 00:39:02,150 --> 00:38:59,839 so 961 00:39:04,390 --> 00:39:02,160 the crust of titan may be on the order 962 00:39:07,190 --> 00:39:04,400 of 65 kilometers according to the 963 00:39:09,030 --> 00:39:07,200 interpretation of the human resonance by 964 00:39:11,750 --> 00:39:09,040 measured by the 965 00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:11,760 by the again program 966 00:39:17,990 --> 00:39:14,480 so now if you do the same same 967 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:18,000 calculations and as the ones we i showed 968 00:39:24,150 --> 00:39:20,160 for gaining med what you find out is 969 00:39:26,710 --> 00:39:24,160 that titan score has a density of 2570 970 00:39:29,829 --> 00:39:26,720 kilograms per cubic meters and a radius 971 00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:29,839 of about two thousand and uh one hundred 972 00:39:34,069 --> 00:39:31,440 kilometers 973 00:39:35,829 --> 00:39:34,079 uh so it's uh the core is much larger 974 00:39:37,829 --> 00:39:35,839 than the core on ganymede and the 975 00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:37,839 density is much lower 976 00:39:42,230 --> 00:39:40,480 and to get such a density and the best 977 00:39:44,310 --> 00:39:42,240 explanation is to have hydrated 978 00:39:46,230 --> 00:39:44,320 silicates 979 00:39:47,430 --> 00:39:46,240 actually this was already mentioned by 980 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:47,440 uh 981 00:39:52,150 --> 00:39:48,160 by 982 00:39:55,349 --> 00:39:52,160 julie castillo and jason renina um in uh 983 00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:55,359 in a paper from 2010 984 00:40:00,390 --> 00:39:58,640 um and julie can develop a model for 985 00:40:01,069 --> 00:40:00,400 thermal evolution you can see the value 986 00:40:04,230 --> 00:40:01,079 of 987 00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:04,240 2080 kilometers here for the 988 00:40:08,630 --> 00:40:06,480 for the silicate core 989 00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:08,640 and in the summer revolution what they 990 00:40:12,470 --> 00:40:10,480 have but they didn't know at that time 991 00:40:14,710 --> 00:40:12,480 what they have is that 992 00:40:17,030 --> 00:40:14,720 the water freezes completely here but at 993 00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:17,040 that time we didn't know that titan has 994 00:40:23,349 --> 00:40:20,400 an ocean so i say we have to now have 995 00:40:25,190 --> 00:40:23,359 models where we can still have an ocean 996 00:40:27,910 --> 00:40:25,200 on titan and there are ways that we can 997 00:40:29,990 --> 00:40:27,920 maintain an ocean during 4.5 billion 998 00:40:32,150 --> 00:40:30,000 years i won't go into the detail but if 999 00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:32,160 you put ammonia for example which should 1000 00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:34,079 be present because of the nitrogen and 1001 00:40:38,630 --> 00:40:36,000 titan's atmosphere then you can maintain 1002 00:40:41,109 --> 00:40:38,640 the ocean for billions of years 1003 00:40:42,309 --> 00:40:41,119 and at the end of their uh simulations 1004 00:40:47,349 --> 00:40:42,319 for 1005 00:40:48,950 --> 00:40:47,359 they find that you have uh some 1006 00:40:51,589 --> 00:40:48,960 transformation of the 1007 00:40:53,109 --> 00:40:51,599 from some dehydration of the sea kids 1008 00:40:54,309 --> 00:40:53,119 that the brown color that you find on 1009 00:40:56,710 --> 00:40:54,319 the right 1010 00:40:59,109 --> 00:40:56,720 so i will go to the to the conclusions 1011 00:41:00,870 --> 00:40:59,119 oh no sorry yeah yeah what i want to say 1012 00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:00,880 that something that steve mentioned 1013 00:41:04,069 --> 00:41:03,200 before is that actually the dehydration 1014 00:41:06,710 --> 00:41:04,079 curve 1015 00:41:08,950 --> 00:41:06,720 of the hydrated silicates put some very 1016 00:41:11,270 --> 00:41:08,960 strong constraints on the evolution of 1017 00:41:14,150 --> 00:41:11,280 the thermal revolution of titan because 1018 00:41:16,870 --> 00:41:14,160 you know around 900 degrees 1019 00:41:18,630 --> 00:41:16,880 then you should go back to much denser 1020 00:41:21,190 --> 00:41:18,640 minerals which 1021 00:41:25,190 --> 00:41:21,200 we don't observe on the outside 1022 00:41:26,630 --> 00:41:25,200 so the the conclusion is that on mars we 1023 00:41:27,829 --> 00:41:26,640 have some hydrated minerals at the 1024 00:41:29,910 --> 00:41:27,839 surface 1025 00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:29,920 and the question is whether 1026 00:41:34,390 --> 00:41:32,960 there is some hydrated silicates forming 1027 00:41:35,190 --> 00:41:34,400 the crust 1028 00:41:37,670 --> 00:41:35,200 um 1029 00:41:39,510 --> 00:41:37,680 the gravity data from cassini and from 1030 00:41:41,990 --> 00:41:39,520 galileo provides some constraints on the 1031 00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:42,000 density of the ck cores of the icy moons 1032 00:41:48,870 --> 00:41:44,720 and so i mentioned 1033 00:41:51,270 --> 00:41:48,880 ganymede titan and an others so 1034 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:51,280 for amsterdams uh the silicate core 1035 00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:53,440 would be hydrated and would be porous 1036 00:41:57,190 --> 00:41:55,680 and that would allow for a lot of tiger 1037 00:41:59,990 --> 00:41:57,200 dissipation 1038 00:42:01,270 --> 00:42:00,000 for titan the core would be also 1039 00:42:03,349 --> 00:42:01,280 hydrated 1040 00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:03,359 and i guess we will get more information 1041 00:42:08,230 --> 00:42:06,079 on europa with the upcoming europa 1042 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:08,240 multiply by missions which is also known 1043 00:42:13,750 --> 00:42:10,800 as clipper so that's what i 1044 00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:13,760 i wanted to present for uh for 1045 00:42:19,030 --> 00:42:15,040 you know for the presence of the 1046 00:42:21,349 --> 00:42:19,040 evidences of hydrated silicates on 1047 00:42:23,589 --> 00:42:21,359 mars and uh 1048 00:42:28,150 --> 00:42:23,599 thank you 1049 00:42:31,270 --> 00:42:29,670 do we have any any questions over the 1050 00:42:34,470 --> 00:42:31,280 phone otherwise there's there's a lot uh 1051 00:42:39,030 --> 00:42:36,390 oh yeah julie made a comment because 1052 00:42:41,030 --> 00:42:39,040 she's on the line it's true that in the 1053 00:42:42,870 --> 00:42:41,040 in the gerald papers they did not model 1054 00:42:44,309 --> 00:42:42,880 the summer revolution of the ic crest 1055 00:42:46,470 --> 00:42:44,319 they were only interested in the 1056 00:42:47,190 --> 00:42:46,480 evolution of the of the course so that's 1057 00:42:53,030 --> 00:42:47,200 why 1058 00:42:57,349 --> 00:42:55,510 so could you um 1059 00:42:59,190 --> 00:42:57,359 give your your take on what is the 1060 00:43:02,470 --> 00:42:59,200 appropriate thermal gradient for early 1061 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:03,750 uh well i 1062 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:07,920 there were some papers uh by baratheon i 1063 00:43:12,069 --> 00:43:09,839 think a few years ago 1064 00:43:14,150 --> 00:43:12,079 and they have a thermal gradient which 1065 00:43:16,630 --> 00:43:14,160 was larger 1066 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:16,640 i think it was 20 kelvin per kilometer 1067 00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:19,200 but something we have to struggle with 1068 00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:22,000 is uh thermal conductivity of the crust 1069 00:43:26,069 --> 00:43:23,760 so i don't remember exactly what thermal 1070 00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:26,079 conductivity they took us for the summer 1071 00:43:29,589 --> 00:43:27,200 brilliant 1072 00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:29,599 christmas that's something that 1073 00:43:37,670 --> 00:43:32,319 sorry could you say the authors again 1074 00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:41,510 b-x 1075 00:43:44,790 --> 00:43:43,829 kristoff this is chris do you hear me 1076 00:43:46,309 --> 00:43:44,800 yes 1077 00:43:49,630 --> 00:43:46,319 yeah i had a quick question what is your 1078 00:43:52,069 --> 00:43:49,640 thoughts about the paper from 2014 by 1079 00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:52,079 bolondel where they're arguing for a 1080 00:43:56,710 --> 00:43:54,240 lower density i mean a higher density of 1081 00:43:59,510 --> 00:43:56,720 titan's core with a greater anhydrous 1082 00:44:02,470 --> 00:44:01,030 um 1083 00:44:04,150 --> 00:44:02,480 yeah because they take 1084 00:44:05,430 --> 00:44:04,160 what they look at the 1085 00:44:08,150 --> 00:44:05,440 librations 1086 00:44:09,910 --> 00:44:08,160 and how they can and also the the fact 1087 00:44:12,390 --> 00:44:09,920 that titan has an obliquity of zero or 1088 00:44:14,870 --> 00:44:12,400 three percent uh and so they try to 1089 00:44:16,630 --> 00:44:14,880 explain the density but i have discussed 1090 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,640 with um 1091 00:44:20,230 --> 00:44:18,480 with the group 1092 00:44:22,550 --> 00:44:20,240 and it's not very well constrained 1093 00:44:23,910 --> 00:44:22,560 actually uh there are yeah 1094 00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:23,920 so i have discussed with them and 1095 00:44:27,349 --> 00:44:26,640 they're going back to a lower density 1096 00:44:30,950 --> 00:44:27,359 for 1097 00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:30,960 the gravity 1098 00:44:35,510 --> 00:44:32,720 data 1099 00:44:36,790 --> 00:44:35,520 can be inverted without making the 1100 00:44:39,109 --> 00:44:36,800 hypothesis 1101 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,119 that you have hydrostatic equilibrium so 1102 00:44:44,309 --> 00:44:41,280 you get the value of j2 and the value of 1103 00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:44,319 c22 independently from each other 1104 00:44:49,510 --> 00:44:47,280 so even if you put some non-hydrostatic 1105 00:44:51,910 --> 00:44:49,520 forces on j2 1106 00:44:57,670 --> 00:44:51,920 you still have to explain the c22 and if 1107 00:45:01,750 --> 00:44:59,109 a love number 1108 00:45:05,190 --> 00:45:01,760 which then gives you a density for the 1109 00:45:09,750 --> 00:45:05,200 core which is uh much closer to the 1110 00:45:15,750 --> 00:45:10,470 so 1111 00:45:22,390 --> 00:45:16,829 thanks 1112 00:45:27,990 --> 00:45:23,910 what constraints there are on the iron 1113 00:45:29,910 --> 00:45:28,000 content of the interior of enceladus 1114 00:45:33,910 --> 00:45:29,920 well i guess that's the question for uh 1115 00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,470 yes 1116 00:45:40,950 --> 00:45:38,550 uh well i mean the simplest 1117 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:40,960 model to start with is to assume a solar 1118 00:45:46,309 --> 00:45:44,480 composition or ci quadratic ratio of fe 1119 00:45:48,630 --> 00:45:46,319 to magnesium 1120 00:45:51,349 --> 00:45:48,640 and then we can 1121 00:45:52,710 --> 00:45:51,359 discuss possibilities where 1122 00:45:54,470 --> 00:45:52,720 you could consider 1123 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:54,480 evolutionary processes in the formation 1124 00:45:59,190 --> 00:45:56,480 of enceladus or we could use 1125 00:46:01,030 --> 00:45:59,200 observations of things like hydrogen to 1126 00:46:03,109 --> 00:46:01,040 try to understand how much iron might be 1127 00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:03,119 reacting so 1128 00:46:11,510 --> 00:46:09,670 and something i i want to to mention too 1129 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:11,520 is that there is this paper saying that 1130 00:46:16,390 --> 00:46:14,880 on threaders from very recently only 200 1131 00:46:18,230 --> 00:46:16,400 million years ago 1132 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:18,240 so if it formed 1133 00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:21,119 you know in saturn's environment 1134 00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:23,119 it's possible that the amount of iron 1135 00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:26,160 would have been much less that what we 1136 00:46:40,829 --> 00:46:36,309 yeah that's an interesting point i 1137 00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:44,309 um so i i wanted to know uh do you know 1138 00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:46,240 offhand what is the um 1139 00:46:49,910 --> 00:46:48,319 amount of heat generated in the course 1140 00:46:51,430 --> 00:46:49,920 core the model that you refer to the 1141 00:46:53,829 --> 00:46:51,440 forthcoming paper 1142 00:46:54,710 --> 00:46:53,839 so it depends a lot on the viscosity you 1143 00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:54,720 take 1144 00:47:01,670 --> 00:46:55,520 for 1145 00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:01,680 porous material 1146 00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:03,920 but when you compare with similar 1147 00:47:09,510 --> 00:47:07,040 material on earth uh gabriel toby and 1148 00:47:13,430 --> 00:47:09,520 gail shoblesh is the other poster at the 1149 00:47:16,390 --> 00:47:13,440 last dps they find values uh up to 20 1150 00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:16,400 terawatt which is gigawatts which is 1151 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:19,599 just huge for unparalleled 1152 00:47:23,510 --> 00:47:22,000 right okay but okay 1153 00:47:24,790 --> 00:47:23,520 um 1154 00:47:26,710 --> 00:47:24,800 there was a question about the 1155 00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:26,720 composition and salinity of the oceans 1156 00:47:29,670 --> 00:47:28,400 uh i will assert that we don't have 1157 00:47:31,510 --> 00:47:29,680 great constraints but i'd be interested 1158 00:47:36,230 --> 00:47:31,520 in christoph knowing what your 1159 00:47:40,549 --> 00:47:38,710 or in general any of the iso moons 1160 00:47:42,630 --> 00:47:40,559 well for anthrax i don't have the 1161 00:47:44,470 --> 00:47:42,640 numbers in mind but i guess chris can uh 1162 00:47:46,870 --> 00:47:44,480 can comment but we have some good ideas 1163 00:47:48,549 --> 00:47:46,880 about the amount of uh 1164 00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:48,559 what kind of source do you have in 1165 00:47:56,470 --> 00:47:54,069 yes that's correct so i'll go over that 1166 00:48:00,640 --> 00:47:56,480 in a couple slides of my presentation in 1167 00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:02,390 [Music] 1168 00:48:05,430 --> 00:48:04,319 oh so there's a clarification about the 1169 00:48:08,870 --> 00:48:05,440 ocean temperatures that you've 1170 00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:08,880 considered uh pointing out that uh sue 1171 00:48:13,190 --> 00:48:10,960 at all uh infer that you have to have 1172 00:48:15,990 --> 00:48:13,200 temperatures as high and 90 degrees 1173 00:48:17,670 --> 00:48:16,000 somewhere in the interior i i think the 1174 00:48:18,870 --> 00:48:17,680 the um 1175 00:48:20,069 --> 00:48:18,880 the question is what you know what are 1176 00:48:25,030 --> 00:48:20,079 the uh 1177 00:48:29,430 --> 00:48:27,750 i have not done 1178 00:48:30,390 --> 00:48:29,440 okay maybe chris will touch on that a 1179 00:48:31,349 --> 00:48:30,400 little 1180 00:48:33,910 --> 00:48:31,359 um 1181 00:48:37,829 --> 00:48:33,920 well actually uh well if i go back to my 1182 00:48:40,870 --> 00:48:39,430 i mean on one side 1183 00:48:46,549 --> 00:48:40,880 the 1184 00:48:51,589 --> 00:48:46,559 i'm sorry 1185 00:48:54,630 --> 00:48:53,829 so 1186 00:48:56,950 --> 00:48:54,640 uh 1187 00:48:59,190 --> 00:48:56,960 yeah i guess that's what i i don't i 1188 00:49:01,430 --> 00:48:59,200 didn't put any uh 1189 00:49:03,670 --> 00:49:01,440 any 1190 00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:03,680 convective model so i haven't considered 1191 00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:05,599 in that case what could happen but if 1192 00:49:11,030 --> 00:49:08,400 you imagine that you have a convection 1193 00:49:12,870 --> 00:49:11,040 uh in in the in the core then the 1194 00:49:15,190 --> 00:49:12,880 temperature would uh remain in that 1195 00:49:17,910 --> 00:49:15,200 range and so gail choblay in his 1196 00:49:20,230 --> 00:49:17,920 simulations he has a 3d theory called 1197 00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:20,240 code and he gets temperature which are 1198 00:49:28,470 --> 00:49:22,960 consistent with this 100 degrees 1199 00:49:31,670 --> 00:49:29,990 christoph this is getting kind of really 1200 00:49:34,069 --> 00:49:31,680 speculative here but is there any sense 1201 00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:34,079 from gabriel toby's models 1202 00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:36,720 of the localization of tidal heating so 1203 00:49:40,470 --> 00:49:37,760 should it be 1204 00:49:42,950 --> 00:49:40,480 close to the ocean floor or 1205 00:49:46,150 --> 00:49:42,960 uniform throughout the rocky core or 1206 00:49:48,870 --> 00:49:46,160 any sense or ideas about that 1207 00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:51,349 well the the title 1208 00:49:55,349 --> 00:49:53,040 well it depends on the structure it 1209 00:49:57,270 --> 00:49:55,359 depends on how the porosity 1210 00:49:59,190 --> 00:49:57,280 varies with that so i think you know you 1211 00:50:02,309 --> 00:49:59,200 have a few nerves that you can turn in 1212 00:50:03,109 --> 00:50:02,319 order to modify your models 1213 00:50:04,549 --> 00:50:03,119 but 1214 00:50:07,510 --> 00:50:04,559 right now the 1215 00:50:09,750 --> 00:50:07,520 uh the density the sorry the amount of 1216 00:50:11,190 --> 00:50:09,760 heat of tidal eating 1217 00:50:17,190 --> 00:50:11,200 is uh 1218 00:50:22,549 --> 00:50:19,270 and there is more tidal eating at the 1219 00:50:25,190 --> 00:50:22,559 pores than the equator 1220 00:50:27,670 --> 00:50:25,200 but one question we can ask is why do we 1221 00:50:38,950 --> 00:50:27,680 see only the south pole with activity 1222 00:50:44,390 --> 00:50:41,349 mark niva clarifies that uh he thinks 1223 00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:44,400 that the 90 degree result uh was in the 1224 00:50:50,710 --> 00:50:46,720 core uh where the submentalization is 1225 00:50:50,720 --> 00:50:55,430 uh sorry i didn't get uh 1226 00:50:59,030 --> 00:50:57,190 there's no question he's just clarifying 1227 00:51:00,950 --> 00:50:59,040 about the sioux uh 1228 00:51:03,109 --> 00:51:00,960 uh result about the 90 degree 1229 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:03,119 temperature uh the point being that yeah 1230 00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:04,400 you have high temperatures in the rock 1231 00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:08,880 but in the ocean those will kind of uh 1232 00:51:12,230 --> 00:51:10,640 i i should weigh in a little bit more 1233 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:12,240 about the salinity because i 1234 00:51:17,030 --> 00:51:14,400 glibly stated that we don't have many 1235 00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:17,040 constraints but uh um and this is 1236 00:51:21,109 --> 00:51:18,720 relevant to serpentinization if you have 1237 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:21,119 a uh high flux of reductants from 1238 00:51:24,630 --> 00:51:22,480 serpentinization that you're going to 1239 00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:24,640 drive the ph to a high value and you 1240 00:51:30,309 --> 00:51:26,960 would expect to have more dominance of 1241 00:51:32,309 --> 00:51:30,319 chlorides than sulfates for example 1242 00:51:34,630 --> 00:51:32,319 and we certainly have measurements from 1243 00:51:37,829 --> 00:51:34,640 enceladus plumes that might 1244 00:51:45,430 --> 00:51:37,839 tip us off about uh hydrocarbon 1245 00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:50,790 any other responses to kristoff's talk 1246 00:51:53,589 --> 00:51:51,910 all right well christoph thanks very 1247 00:51:56,470 --> 00:51:53,599 much you're able to congratulate the 1248 00:51:58,390 --> 00:51:56,480 discussion yeah and uh elena please uh 1249 00:52:02,950 --> 00:51:58,400 when you're ready 1250 00:52:04,870 --> 00:52:02,960 okay can you see me and hear me okay 1251 00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:04,880 yes it's loud and clear 1252 00:52:09,990 --> 00:52:07,119 okay great all right well thank you very 1253 00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:10,000 much for inviting me um to present this 1254 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:11,599 morning i really appreciate it i'm 1255 00:52:16,549 --> 00:52:13,680 actually defending my phd tomorrow so 1256 00:52:19,190 --> 00:52:16,559 this is kind of a nice uh productive 1257 00:52:21,829 --> 00:52:19,200 distraction from that um 1258 00:52:23,990 --> 00:52:21,839 so steve asked me to 1259 00:52:26,710 --> 00:52:24,000 talk about evidence for serpentinization 1260 00:52:28,870 --> 00:52:26,720 on mars so my expertise is remote 1261 00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:28,880 sensing and and using near-infrared 1262 00:52:32,870 --> 00:52:30,480 orbiters to 1263 00:52:34,470 --> 00:52:32,880 describe surface characteristics of mars 1264 00:52:35,829 --> 00:52:34,480 and a lot of my focus has been looking 1265 00:52:37,270 --> 00:52:35,839 for evidence for 1266 00:52:38,950 --> 00:52:37,280 serpentine 1267 00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:38,960 and i think it's it's really important 1268 00:52:42,549 --> 00:52:40,640 because 1269 00:52:43,510 --> 00:52:42,559 it's one of these minerals that we can 1270 00:52:44,950 --> 00:52:43,520 use 1271 00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:44,960 to really indicate 1272 00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:46,720 hopefully a habitable environment and we 1273 00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:48,800 can detect it from orbit so it can help 1274 00:52:52,069 --> 00:52:50,319 constrain where we should be sending 1275 00:52:53,829 --> 00:52:52,079 more detailed 1276 00:52:56,549 --> 00:52:53,839 landers or rovers that have higher 1277 00:52:58,710 --> 00:52:56,559 resolution instrumentation 1278 00:53:01,430 --> 00:52:58,720 let's see 1279 00:53:03,910 --> 00:53:01,440 so we've all seen some version of of 1280 00:53:06,390 --> 00:53:03,920 this slide over the last few days 1281 00:53:09,510 --> 00:53:06,400 and um i don't think i i need to 1282 00:53:10,870 --> 00:53:09,520 convince anybody here of the compelling 1283 00:53:12,549 --> 00:53:10,880 why it's so compelling to look for 1284 00:53:13,910 --> 00:53:12,559 evidence of serpentinization on other 1285 00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:13,920 planets 1286 00:53:18,710 --> 00:53:16,480 but from my point of view the thing that 1287 00:53:21,349 --> 00:53:18,720 that makes the serpentinization reaction 1288 00:53:22,870 --> 00:53:21,359 so exciting as a remote sensor is that 1289 00:53:25,349 --> 00:53:22,880 serpentine 1290 00:53:27,750 --> 00:53:25,359 can act as an indicator mineral by 1291 00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:27,760 identifying this mineral you have a good 1292 00:53:31,030 --> 00:53:29,200 sense for 1293 00:53:33,190 --> 00:53:31,040 the fact that serpentinization occurred 1294 00:53:34,710 --> 00:53:33,200 and potentially this availability of 1295 00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:34,720 hydrogen 1296 00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:41,670 and it checks a lot of our boxes as far 1297 00:53:44,950 --> 00:53:43,920 as a habitable environment so for a long 1298 00:53:46,710 --> 00:53:44,960 time 1299 00:53:48,470 --> 00:53:46,720 mars exploration has been driven by 1300 00:53:50,230 --> 00:53:48,480 follow the water but now we can actually 1301 00:53:52,230 --> 00:53:50,240 say something like follow the energy and 1302 00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:52,240 follow the geochemical environment we 1303 00:53:56,309 --> 00:53:53,760 can say more than just whether or not a 1304 00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:56,319 surface was hydrated and serpent and 1305 00:54:00,870 --> 00:53:57,760 serpentine is one of these minerals that 1306 00:54:03,589 --> 00:54:01,990 so 1307 00:54:05,589 --> 00:54:03,599 and looking back at all the other 1308 00:54:08,230 --> 00:54:05,599 studies that have looked for evidence of 1309 00:54:09,910 --> 00:54:08,240 serpentine in the past as far as landers 1310 00:54:11,910 --> 00:54:09,920 and rovers are concerned there have been 1311 00:54:13,670 --> 00:54:11,920 no detections to date with with their 1312 00:54:15,910 --> 00:54:13,680 instrumentation 1313 00:54:19,349 --> 00:54:15,920 there have been observations of iron 1314 00:54:21,829 --> 00:54:19,359 serpentine and knock light meteorites 1315 00:54:23,430 --> 00:54:21,839 and this was probably an impact to do 1316 00:54:25,430 --> 00:54:23,440 induced 1317 00:54:27,109 --> 00:54:25,440 serpentinization 1318 00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:27,119 and then from the big picture global 1319 00:54:31,270 --> 00:54:28,720 scale there actually have been quite a 1320 00:54:33,190 --> 00:54:31,280 few uh orbital identifications with 1321 00:54:35,030 --> 00:54:33,200 near-infrared spectroscopy 1322 00:54:36,710 --> 00:54:35,040 uh there was a big search 1323 00:54:39,430 --> 00:54:36,720 a study in 2010 which kind of did a 1324 00:54:40,390 --> 00:54:39,440 global search for serpentine across the 1325 00:54:42,390 --> 00:54:40,400 planet 1326 00:54:45,109 --> 00:54:42,400 and by bethany allman 1327 00:54:46,710 --> 00:54:45,119 and we found that serpentine was 1328 00:54:48,549 --> 00:54:46,720 observed in a range of different 1329 00:54:51,109 --> 00:54:48,559 terrains 1330 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:51,119 typically in melange kind of 1331 00:54:56,789 --> 00:54:53,440 rework terrains in southern highland 1332 00:54:58,630 --> 00:54:56,799 craters associated with ejecta or within 1333 00:55:00,470 --> 00:54:58,640 the walls of 1334 00:55:01,829 --> 00:55:00,480 crater rims 1335 00:55:03,589 --> 00:55:01,839 and then more recently there have been 1336 00:55:05,990 --> 00:55:03,599 more observations of serpentine along 1337 00:55:06,789 --> 00:55:06,000 tectonic boundaries by christina viviano 1338 00:55:09,270 --> 00:55:06,799 beck 1339 00:55:11,510 --> 00:55:09,280 just south of alice marineris 1340 00:55:13,829 --> 00:55:11,520 and then the really exciting one from an 1341 00:55:15,910 --> 00:55:13,839 astrobiological standpoint i think uh is 1342 00:55:19,349 --> 00:55:15,920 the observation of serpentine within a 1343 00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:19,359 nowakian bedrock in stratigraphy 1344 00:55:24,630 --> 00:55:22,000 so it appears to be found in situ where 1345 00:55:26,630 --> 00:55:24,640 it would have presumably formed which 1346 00:55:28,230 --> 00:55:26,640 from a habitability perspective is 1347 00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:28,240 really nice because you can actually go 1348 00:55:32,630 --> 00:55:30,160 to the place where these reactions were 1349 00:55:35,190 --> 00:55:32,640 occurring 1350 00:55:36,870 --> 00:55:35,200 so the way that we do this uh just for 1351 00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:36,880 people who aren't uh 1352 00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:39,280 used to thinking about uh defining 1353 00:55:43,430 --> 00:55:41,040 surface composition another planet is we 1354 00:55:45,430 --> 00:55:43,440 use near-infrared spectrometers or 1355 00:55:47,990 --> 00:55:45,440 thermal infrared spectrometers to get a 1356 00:55:50,630 --> 00:55:48,000 sense of what the top very top layer of 1357 00:55:51,589 --> 00:55:50,640 the surface is composed of 1358 00:55:56,069 --> 00:55:51,599 and 1359 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:56,079 luckily for us serpentine is actually 1360 00:56:00,309 --> 00:55:58,559 uniquely identifiable in near-infrared 1361 00:56:01,510 --> 00:56:00,319 and thermal infrared 1362 00:56:04,150 --> 00:56:01,520 actual data 1363 00:56:05,589 --> 00:56:04,160 so it has these really if i can get my 1364 00:56:06,789 --> 00:56:05,599 pointer 1365 00:56:09,670 --> 00:56:06,799 there we go 1366 00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:09,680 it has these um 1367 00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:11,280 these absorptions 1368 00:56:16,150 --> 00:56:13,680 that are diagnostic if you find all of 1369 00:56:19,670 --> 00:56:16,160 them in the reflectant spectrum of its 1370 00:56:23,670 --> 00:56:21,910 and so we can use this to map out where 1371 00:56:25,829 --> 00:56:23,680 it exists and then 1372 00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:25,839 additionally there are other minerals 1373 00:56:29,190 --> 00:56:26,720 that 1374 00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:29,200 are often associated with serpentine and 1375 00:56:33,670 --> 00:56:31,040 serpentinizing environments on earth 1376 00:56:35,670 --> 00:56:33,680 that also have diagnostic spectral 1377 00:56:38,069 --> 00:56:35,680 absorption so you can kind of use all 1378 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:38,079 these minerals as a suite and all 1379 00:56:41,270 --> 00:56:39,200 together 1380 00:56:42,829 --> 00:56:41,280 to look for where serpentinization might 1381 00:56:45,990 --> 00:56:42,839 have been 1382 00:56:47,990 --> 00:56:46,000 occurring so here's a map of of where 1383 00:56:48,870 --> 00:56:48,000 all the surface occurrences 1384 00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:48,880 of 1385 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:52,240 um 1386 00:56:58,549 --> 00:56:55,040 for the most part they're they're found 1387 00:57:00,710 --> 00:56:58,559 in these isolated regions um 1388 00:57:02,870 --> 00:57:00,720 its detections have actually been quite 1389 00:57:05,109 --> 00:57:02,880 rare using just traditional 1390 00:57:07,670 --> 00:57:05,119 near-infrared analyses of the data 1391 00:57:09,510 --> 00:57:07,680 um there is not very much there are not 1392 00:57:11,750 --> 00:57:09,520 very many occurrences there actually are 1393 00:57:13,349 --> 00:57:11,760 a few more down between if this and 1394 00:57:14,950 --> 00:57:13,359 helispace and that i don't have maps 1395 00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:14,960 here but 1396 00:57:18,950 --> 00:57:17,359 it's still quite rare 1397 00:57:20,549 --> 00:57:18,960 so for the most part these occurrences 1398 00:57:23,670 --> 00:57:20,559 that i have mapped are these melange 1399 00:57:25,750 --> 00:57:23,680 trains these impact craters 1400 00:57:28,150 --> 00:57:25,760 not in stratigraphic sections the only 1401 00:57:31,349 --> 00:57:28,160 ones that we find within a complete 1402 00:57:34,630 --> 00:57:31,359 package are these ones here 1403 00:57:36,309 --> 00:57:34,640 and um in milli faucet see if i can do 1404 00:57:40,710 --> 00:57:36,319 this without 1405 00:57:42,470 --> 00:57:40,720 there we go so nelly phosphate um 1406 00:57:44,789 --> 00:57:42,480 has this really nice stratigraphic 1407 00:57:46,710 --> 00:57:44,799 section that i'll get to where we find 1408 00:57:48,950 --> 00:57:46,720 serpentine 1409 00:57:50,630 --> 00:57:48,960 so on the left i'm showing a thermal 1410 00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:50,640 infrared 1411 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:53,200 multispectral image that is basically 1412 00:57:56,950 --> 00:57:54,720 showing you um 1413 00:57:59,670 --> 00:57:56,960 surface composition at the bulk level 1414 00:58:01,270 --> 00:57:59,680 and what we see at nelly fosse um here 1415 00:58:03,270 --> 00:58:01,280 are the fractures associated with noise 1416 00:58:04,950 --> 00:58:03,280 flossing he's um 1417 00:58:07,190 --> 00:58:04,960 you're not used to looking at 1418 00:58:08,549 --> 00:58:07,200 in this region but these these magenta 1419 00:58:10,390 --> 00:58:08,559 units that 1420 00:58:12,789 --> 00:58:10,400 um we see in the thermal infrared are 1421 00:58:14,630 --> 00:58:12,799 indicating these really um 1422 00:58:17,349 --> 00:58:14,640 olivine rich basalts that are quite 1423 00:58:20,390 --> 00:58:17,359 expansive um with about 48 percent 1424 00:58:21,910 --> 00:58:20,400 olivine and it's the chemistry of those 1425 00:58:24,230 --> 00:58:21,920 olivines are shifted towards more 1426 00:58:25,430 --> 00:58:24,240 magnesium-rich composition 1427 00:58:27,190 --> 00:58:25,440 so they're these really expensive 1428 00:58:29,030 --> 00:58:27,200 olivine rich basalts and here i've laid 1429 00:58:30,789 --> 00:58:29,040 out the um 1430 00:58:32,150 --> 00:58:30,799 just the compositional spatiography we 1431 00:58:33,589 --> 00:58:32,160 see in the region 1432 00:58:35,510 --> 00:58:33,599 and 1433 00:58:37,990 --> 00:58:35,520 on the bottom we have this olivine poor 1434 00:58:39,829 --> 00:58:38,000 basalt that has some phyllosilicates and 1435 00:58:41,510 --> 00:58:39,839 then on on top of that or where the 1436 00:58:42,710 --> 00:58:41,520 really interesting 1437 00:58:44,470 --> 00:58:42,720 is where the interesting unit with 1438 00:58:45,430 --> 00:58:44,480 respect to serpentinization has occurred 1439 00:58:47,990 --> 00:58:45,440 so 1440 00:58:50,069 --> 00:58:48,000 there's this olivine rich unit and it's 1441 00:58:53,430 --> 00:58:50,079 been variably altered to magnesium 1442 00:58:55,109 --> 00:58:53,440 carbonate serpentine talc saponite and 1443 00:58:56,630 --> 00:58:55,119 these have been identifications that 1444 00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:56,640 people have been making over the years 1445 00:59:00,470 --> 00:58:57,359 with 1446 00:59:01,510 --> 00:59:00,480 of the near infrared and the near 1447 00:59:02,789 --> 00:59:01,520 infrared 1448 00:59:05,430 --> 00:59:02,799 um 1449 00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:05,440 and let's see 1450 00:59:09,349 --> 00:59:07,920 and we can actually map them out and see 1451 00:59:10,789 --> 00:59:09,359 where they're actually occurring so what 1452 00:59:12,470 --> 00:59:10,799 i'm showing here is the deep 1453 00:59:15,109 --> 00:59:12,480 distribution of 1454 00:59:16,789 --> 00:59:15,119 magnesium carbonate serpentine 1455 00:59:19,510 --> 00:59:16,799 talc and saponite across the melee 1456 00:59:21,349 --> 00:59:19,520 fossae region and these are aggregated 1457 00:59:23,349 --> 00:59:21,359 from all the studies over the past few 1458 00:59:25,750 --> 00:59:23,359 years including my own 1459 00:59:28,309 --> 00:59:25,760 and what you find is that let's see the 1460 00:59:30,710 --> 00:59:28,319 green the green boxes are indicating 1461 00:59:32,950 --> 00:59:30,720 prism stamps where 1462 00:59:35,270 --> 00:59:32,960 where we see evidence for serpentine 1463 00:59:37,910 --> 00:59:35,280 so serpentine is still pretty rare in 1464 00:59:40,390 --> 00:59:37,920 melee fossa but it's found widespread 1465 00:59:42,309 --> 00:59:40,400 across the region in general there's a 1466 00:59:44,390 --> 00:59:42,319 lot of evidence for magnesium carbonate 1467 00:59:49,030 --> 00:59:44,400 and there's good evidence for talc 1468 00:59:53,349 --> 00:59:50,870 and the way that we identify these again 1469 00:59:55,829 --> 00:59:53,359 are with these 1470 00:59:58,789 --> 00:59:55,839 spectral responses in the near infrared 1471 01:00:00,630 --> 00:59:58,799 and on the left i have what the spectral 1472 01:00:03,270 --> 01:00:00,640 types look like in 1473 01:00:04,789 --> 01:00:03,280 melee fossae and then another study that 1474 01:00:06,789 --> 01:00:04,799 i've done in collaboration with billy 1475 01:00:08,549 --> 01:00:06,799 brazelton and deb kelly here at the 1476 01:00:11,030 --> 01:00:08,559 university of washington with taking 1477 01:00:13,030 --> 01:00:11,040 rocks from velocity hydrothermal field 1478 01:00:14,870 --> 01:00:13,040 um so an active serpentinizing system on 1479 01:00:16,390 --> 01:00:14,880 earth and trying to characterize those 1480 01:00:18,630 --> 01:00:16,400 rocks using the same types of 1481 01:00:20,950 --> 01:00:18,640 measurements we have for nellie fosse 1482 01:00:22,870 --> 01:00:20,960 um and and what we found is that we see 1483 01:00:24,549 --> 01:00:22,880 the same types of the same spectral 1484 01:00:26,789 --> 01:00:24,559 types in both regions and so you can 1485 01:00:31,670 --> 01:00:26,799 kind of use these these spectral 1486 01:00:34,630 --> 01:00:31,680 signatures as um a proxy or a key for a 1487 01:00:36,309 --> 01:00:34,640 potentially serpentinizing environment 1488 01:00:38,309 --> 01:00:36,319 so it's all these spectral types 1489 01:00:40,309 --> 01:00:38,319 together that kind of tell you oh we 1490 01:00:41,829 --> 01:00:40,319 probably had some sort of in-situ 1491 01:00:44,710 --> 01:00:41,839 serpentinization occurring in the 1492 01:00:46,309 --> 01:00:45,510 and 1493 01:00:48,309 --> 01:00:46,319 but 1494 01:00:50,470 --> 01:00:48,319 when we start looking for these um 1495 01:00:51,990 --> 01:00:50,480 absorption so if i go back to so this 1496 01:00:53,430 --> 01:00:52,000 green line 1497 01:00:55,349 --> 01:00:53,440 is the spectrum that indicates the 1498 01:00:57,349 --> 01:00:55,359 serpentine bearing surface 1499 01:01:00,150 --> 01:00:57,359 and the diagnostic absorption is this 1500 01:01:02,150 --> 01:01:00,160 little guy here at 2.12 which is really 1501 01:01:03,510 --> 01:01:02,160 weak and it's pretty hard to find and we 1502 01:01:04,950 --> 01:01:03,520 found that it was 1503 01:01:06,950 --> 01:01:04,960 pretty difficult to find it even in 1504 01:01:09,910 --> 01:01:06,960 places where other people 1505 01:01:11,589 --> 01:01:09,920 see it you still really have to um dig 1506 01:01:14,069 --> 01:01:11,599 around and and try and find those 1507 01:01:17,349 --> 01:01:14,079 absorptions and it was really quite rare 1508 01:01:19,910 --> 01:01:17,359 and so our question is um 1509 01:01:21,670 --> 01:01:19,920 is serpentine really so rare on mars or 1510 01:01:23,670 --> 01:01:21,680 are we just missing it in the spectral 1511 01:01:26,789 --> 01:01:23,680 data um 1512 01:01:28,870 --> 01:01:26,799 is it is it hard to find um or is the 1513 01:01:30,470 --> 01:01:28,880 pendulumization rare on a global scale 1514 01:01:32,069 --> 01:01:30,480 and really faucet 1515 01:01:34,069 --> 01:01:32,079 and then the other question is is mili 1516 01:01:35,829 --> 01:01:34,079 fossa unique you know are there other 1517 01:01:38,470 --> 01:01:35,839 places that show these spectral suites 1518 01:01:39,829 --> 01:01:38,480 that would indicate serpentinization um 1519 01:01:41,349 --> 01:01:39,839 how how 1520 01:01:44,309 --> 01:01:41,359 common were these locales or so 1521 01:01:46,150 --> 01:01:44,319 pentatonization was occurring on mars 1522 01:01:48,309 --> 01:01:46,160 and so if we go back to our original map 1523 01:01:50,150 --> 01:01:48,319 of where others have seen serpentine all 1524 01:01:52,870 --> 01:01:50,160 these detections were made using just 1525 01:01:54,549 --> 01:01:52,880 traditional prism analysis techniques 1526 01:01:57,109 --> 01:01:54,559 that again 1527 01:01:59,510 --> 01:01:57,119 um the spectral absorption that is 1528 01:02:01,670 --> 01:01:59,520 diagnostic of serpentine is really weak 1529 01:02:03,990 --> 01:02:01,680 and really hard to find and it's 1530 01:02:05,750 --> 01:02:04,000 very time consuming and 1531 01:02:06,710 --> 01:02:05,760 by hand analyses can take minutes to 1532 01:02:07,670 --> 01:02:06,720 hours 1533 01:02:12,950 --> 01:02:07,680 so 1534 01:02:13,990 --> 01:02:12,960 analysis techniques to the chrism data 1535 01:02:15,670 --> 01:02:14,000 set 1536 01:02:17,510 --> 01:02:15,680 using factor analysis and target 1537 01:02:19,270 --> 01:02:17,520 transformation which essentially it's 1538 01:02:21,910 --> 01:02:19,280 similar to principal component analysis 1539 01:02:23,190 --> 01:02:21,920 that you can take your your chrism data 1540 01:02:25,510 --> 01:02:23,200 and really 1541 01:02:27,430 --> 01:02:25,520 take that complex spectral data set and 1542 01:02:29,589 --> 01:02:27,440 reduce it to the 1543 01:02:30,630 --> 01:02:29,599 significant spectral components of an 1544 01:02:32,069 --> 01:02:30,640 image 1545 01:02:33,510 --> 01:02:32,079 and in the past people have done this 1546 01:02:35,270 --> 01:02:33,520 and found that 1547 01:02:37,190 --> 01:02:35,280 it's very successful in finding these 1548 01:02:38,710 --> 01:02:37,200 weak diagnostic absorptions similar to 1549 01:02:41,190 --> 01:02:38,720 what we see um 1550 01:02:43,190 --> 01:02:41,200 in in milli fossa 1551 01:02:44,870 --> 01:02:43,200 so so we applied this technique to the 1552 01:02:47,589 --> 01:02:44,880 entire prism data set to see if we can 1553 01:02:49,910 --> 01:02:47,599 find new occurrences of serpentine and 1554 01:02:51,270 --> 01:02:49,920 what we found if we go back and forth is 1555 01:02:53,190 --> 01:02:51,280 we could corroborate the past 1556 01:02:54,150 --> 01:02:53,200 identifications of serpentine across the 1557 01:02:56,630 --> 01:02:54,160 globe 1558 01:02:59,430 --> 01:02:56,640 and then we found additional ones um 1559 01:03:00,150 --> 01:02:59,440 so for the most part um 1560 01:03:01,510 --> 01:03:00,160 they're 1561 01:03:03,670 --> 01:03:01,520 the serpentine is occurring in the 1562 01:03:04,950 --> 01:03:03,680 southern highlands as kristoff showed 1563 01:03:07,029 --> 01:03:04,960 that's where most of the hydrated 1564 01:03:09,589 --> 01:03:07,039 minerals are identified on mars 1565 01:03:11,190 --> 01:03:09,599 um just for 1566 01:03:13,510 --> 01:03:11,200 reasons of dust coverage and 1567 01:03:14,549 --> 01:03:13,520 observational issues 1568 01:03:16,630 --> 01:03:14,559 um 1569 01:03:18,390 --> 01:03:16,640 and so we find a serpentine across the 1570 01:03:20,309 --> 01:03:18,400 southern highlands and corroborate where 1571 01:03:23,190 --> 01:03:20,319 other people are seeing it 1572 01:03:24,950 --> 01:03:23,200 and um and then we also look for this 1573 01:03:26,549 --> 01:03:24,960 other spectral seats we look for places 1574 01:03:28,870 --> 01:03:26,559 with magnesium carbonate and 1575 01:03:30,710 --> 01:03:28,880 calciferonite phase in hopes of finding 1576 01:03:32,710 --> 01:03:30,720 other regions that showed this grouping 1577 01:03:35,109 --> 01:03:32,720 of minerals that might indicate um this 1578 01:03:38,309 --> 01:03:35,119 in-situ sepantonization and for the most 1579 01:03:39,990 --> 01:03:38,319 part we didn't find that talc magnesite 1580 01:03:41,910 --> 01:03:40,000 and serpentine 1581 01:03:43,670 --> 01:03:41,920 correlated very much spatially they were 1582 01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:43,680 found distributed across the southern 1583 01:03:46,870 --> 01:03:45,280 highlands but 1584 01:03:48,150 --> 01:03:46,880 they weren't all necessarily found 1585 01:03:50,069 --> 01:03:48,160 together 1586 01:03:52,309 --> 01:03:50,079 and the serpentine observations kind of 1587 01:03:54,549 --> 01:03:52,319 fell into these two categories 1588 01:03:56,470 --> 01:03:54,559 um they were either found in these kind 1589 01:03:59,910 --> 01:03:56,480 of isolated occurrences across the 1590 01:04:02,549 --> 01:03:59,920 southern highlands or or like with melee 1591 01:04:04,789 --> 01:04:02,559 phosphate here they were found together 1592 01:04:07,190 --> 01:04:04,799 um some other places like mars ballast 1593 01:04:09,589 --> 01:04:07,200 and um florida's rise also kind of 1594 01:04:10,829 --> 01:04:09,599 showed this interesting grouping of 1595 01:04:13,990 --> 01:04:10,839 of 1596 01:04:16,710 --> 01:04:14,000 detection so these isolated occurrences 1597 01:04:19,829 --> 01:04:16,720 although still quite rare across the 1598 01:04:22,069 --> 01:04:19,839 globe um were found across the southern 1599 01:04:24,150 --> 01:04:22,079 highlands they're well distributed 1600 01:04:26,470 --> 01:04:24,160 the target transformation fits so using 1601 01:04:28,230 --> 01:04:26,480 this new technique we're really clear in 1602 01:04:29,910 --> 01:04:28,240 their identification so we're confident 1603 01:04:31,990 --> 01:04:29,920 that it's there 1604 01:04:34,549 --> 01:04:32,000 they're typically associated with crater 1605 01:04:36,789 --> 01:04:34,559 ejecta or discontinuous layers so really 1606 01:04:38,789 --> 01:04:36,799 reworked terrain 1607 01:04:40,069 --> 01:04:38,799 so not necessarily found in situ and 1608 01:04:41,270 --> 01:04:40,079 they weren't necessarily found with 1609 01:04:42,470 --> 01:04:41,280 these other spectral types we were 1610 01:04:44,150 --> 01:04:42,480 interested in 1611 01:04:45,750 --> 01:04:44,160 and the target transformation detections 1612 01:04:47,910 --> 01:04:45,760 were really telling us that their the 1613 01:04:50,950 --> 01:04:47,920 serpentine is occurring at really 1614 01:04:52,549 --> 01:04:50,960 low concentrations 1615 01:04:53,510 --> 01:04:52,559 and then there were these other regions 1616 01:04:55,829 --> 01:04:53,520 where 1617 01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:55,839 the geologic and the mineralogical 1618 01:05:02,390 --> 01:04:58,079 context makes a lot more sense 1619 01:05:07,430 --> 01:05:04,789 that's not working but down um in this 1620 01:05:09,190 --> 01:05:07,440 so here's dallas marineris 1621 01:05:11,190 --> 01:05:09,200 there are these detections of serpentine 1622 01:05:13,589 --> 01:05:11,200 along the thaumasia highlands and what's 1623 01:05:16,230 --> 01:05:13,599 the thought is that this is an uplifted 1624 01:05:19,109 --> 01:05:16,240 tectonically controlled terrain 1625 01:05:20,549 --> 01:05:19,119 um so perhaps we're we're seeing a 1626 01:05:23,190 --> 01:05:20,559 serpentine brought up from the 1627 01:05:25,750 --> 01:05:23,200 subsurface and exposed here 1628 01:05:28,069 --> 01:05:25,760 it definitely tectonically 1629 01:05:32,150 --> 01:05:28,079 mediated 1630 01:05:33,589 --> 01:05:32,160 another interesting area was mark valas 1631 01:05:36,309 --> 01:05:33,599 there are quite a few kind of low 1632 01:05:37,670 --> 01:05:36,319 concentration detections of serpentine 1633 01:05:40,630 --> 01:05:37,680 associated with 1634 01:05:42,390 --> 01:05:40,640 carbonate and one detection of talc down 1635 01:05:44,309 --> 01:05:42,400 in the south i mean this is just 1636 01:05:45,670 --> 01:05:44,319 interesting because marthalist has some 1637 01:05:47,670 --> 01:05:45,680 of the highest abundances of 1638 01:05:49,670 --> 01:05:47,680 phytosilicate on the planet it's 1639 01:05:50,950 --> 01:05:49,680 observable both in the near infrared and 1640 01:05:52,069 --> 01:05:50,960 potentially in the thermal infrared 1641 01:05:53,510 --> 01:05:52,079 which tells you it's really high 1642 01:05:55,510 --> 01:05:53,520 concentration 1643 01:05:57,510 --> 01:05:55,520 so using this new technique does target 1644 01:05:58,950 --> 01:05:57,520 transformation and factor analysis we're 1645 01:06:00,870 --> 01:05:58,960 able to show that there's even 1646 01:06:03,990 --> 01:06:00,880 potentially serpentine there at these 1647 01:06:05,510 --> 01:06:04,000 low concentrations 1648 01:06:07,349 --> 01:06:05,520 and then the target transformation the 1649 01:06:08,470 --> 01:06:07,359 factor analysis this independent 1650 01:06:11,510 --> 01:06:08,480 technique 1651 01:06:14,230 --> 01:06:11,520 also found um abundant 1652 01:06:16,309 --> 01:06:14,240 serpentine again in nile phosphate 1653 01:06:18,870 --> 01:06:16,319 so if we go back to my first map that i 1654 01:06:20,549 --> 01:06:18,880 showed so these are the distributions of 1655 01:06:22,630 --> 01:06:20,559 serpentine 1656 01:06:26,549 --> 01:06:22,640 using just traditional prism analysis 1657 01:06:29,349 --> 01:06:27,990 previously 1658 01:06:31,349 --> 01:06:29,359 if we look at what the target 1659 01:06:33,190 --> 01:06:31,359 transformation and the factor analysis 1660 01:06:34,710 --> 01:06:33,200 find they corroborate those in those 1661 01:06:36,789 --> 01:06:34,720 initial um 1662 01:06:38,950 --> 01:06:36,799 three detections but then they find 1663 01:06:41,829 --> 01:06:38,960 um that serpentine is actually much more 1664 01:06:44,150 --> 01:06:41,839 pervasive across this region 1665 01:06:46,470 --> 01:06:44,160 and in particular it looks like it's 1666 01:06:47,910 --> 01:06:46,480 concentrated um in the eastern portion 1667 01:06:49,270 --> 01:06:47,920 of nelly fosse and this is where those 1668 01:06:50,789 --> 01:06:49,280 really um 1669 01:06:53,990 --> 01:06:50,799 high concentration all of the enriched 1670 01:06:57,190 --> 01:06:54,000 basalts are actually located 1671 01:07:00,630 --> 01:06:57,200 and so um a model put forth by christina 1672 01:07:01,910 --> 01:07:00,640 viviano in 2013 i think is still pretty 1673 01:07:04,150 --> 01:07:01,920 consistent with what we're observing 1674 01:07:06,549 --> 01:07:04,160 with both the target transformation um 1675 01:07:09,430 --> 01:07:06,559 and the previous analyses is that 1676 01:07:11,670 --> 01:07:09,440 you started with this initial uh 1677 01:07:13,670 --> 01:07:11,680 compositional stratigraphy of having 1678 01:07:15,910 --> 01:07:13,680 this this pre-weathered olivine rich 1679 01:07:17,910 --> 01:07:15,920 basalt and over time 1680 01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:17,920 this was likely hydrated and you you had 1681 01:07:22,470 --> 01:07:19,920 serpentinization forming 1682 01:07:25,029 --> 01:07:22,480 um serpentine but then now we have this 1683 01:07:27,029 --> 01:07:25,039 associated magnesite and talc 1684 01:07:31,270 --> 01:07:27,039 um which likely implies that you had 1685 01:07:35,589 --> 01:07:32,950 and so what about other olivine rich 1686 01:07:36,549 --> 01:07:35,599 regions why is nelly fosse so special 1687 01:07:39,190 --> 01:07:36,559 well 1688 01:07:41,109 --> 01:07:39,200 there are other abundant olivine rich 1689 01:07:43,190 --> 01:07:41,119 areas on the surface other ultramafic 1690 01:07:45,109 --> 01:07:43,200 regions mostly associated with these 1691 01:07:46,950 --> 01:07:45,119 large impact craters and the idea is 1692 01:07:48,549 --> 01:07:46,960 that you're you're potentially tapping 1693 01:07:50,390 --> 01:07:48,559 into the mantle when you have these huge 1694 01:07:52,309 --> 01:07:50,400 impacts and you brought all the enriched 1695 01:07:54,549 --> 01:07:52,319 material to the surface 1696 01:07:56,309 --> 01:07:54,559 but we didn't find all serpentine 1697 01:07:57,990 --> 01:07:56,319 necessarily associated with them so you 1698 01:07:59,910 --> 01:07:58,000 don't see serpentine down on the edges 1699 01:08:02,390 --> 01:07:59,920 of our gyre basin there's only a few 1700 01:08:04,069 --> 01:08:02,400 exposures here um 1701 01:08:05,430 --> 01:08:04,079 near helis basin 1702 01:08:06,630 --> 01:08:05,440 um so 1703 01:08:08,150 --> 01:08:06,640 there doesn't seem to be this 1704 01:08:09,910 --> 01:08:08,160 relationship between 1705 01:08:11,990 --> 01:08:09,920 the olivine rich basalt on a global 1706 01:08:13,349 --> 01:08:12,000 scale and serpentinization other than in 1707 01:08:15,349 --> 01:08:13,359 melee faucet 1708 01:08:17,990 --> 01:08:15,359 so perhaps melee phosphate is this 1709 01:08:21,910 --> 01:08:18,000 unique um setting 1710 01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:21,920 uh where you had this sustained kind of 1711 01:08:24,630 --> 01:08:23,279 surface 1712 01:08:26,709 --> 01:08:24,640 serpentinization and subsequent 1713 01:08:30,390 --> 01:08:26,719 carbonation 1714 01:08:32,149 --> 01:08:30,400 um so kind of the the overall 1715 01:08:34,950 --> 01:08:32,159 summary i'd say of this global search 1716 01:08:37,669 --> 01:08:34,960 for evidence of serpentine is that um 1717 01:08:39,829 --> 01:08:37,679 overall exposures 1718 01:08:41,990 --> 01:08:39,839 that are detectable from orbit 1719 01:08:43,749 --> 01:08:42,000 are quite rare on mars but they are 1720 01:08:45,110 --> 01:08:43,759 still found across the southern 1721 01:08:47,269 --> 01:08:45,120 highlands 1722 01:08:50,070 --> 01:08:47,279 most of those occurrences are in these 1723 01:08:52,070 --> 01:08:50,080 isolated rework terrains at really low 1724 01:08:53,990 --> 01:08:52,080 concentrations and maybe this is telling 1725 01:08:56,709 --> 01:08:54,000 us that there was an early 1726 01:08:58,229 --> 01:08:56,719 um global serpentinizational process 1727 01:09:00,870 --> 01:08:58,239 happening when mars was more 1728 01:09:02,390 --> 01:09:00,880 geologically active 1729 01:09:04,149 --> 01:09:02,400 and since they're not associated with 1730 01:09:06,309 --> 01:09:04,159 those other olivine rich regions perhaps 1731 01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:06,319 this was happening prior to those large 1732 01:09:11,349 --> 01:09:09,359 impact impact events so you know really 1733 01:09:12,950 --> 01:09:11,359 long time ago 4.1 billion years ago in 1734 01:09:14,309 --> 01:09:12,960 the pre-milwaukee 1735 01:09:16,149 --> 01:09:14,319 and so this is really interesting from a 1736 01:09:17,590 --> 01:09:16,159 planetary evolution perspective but it's 1737 01:09:20,229 --> 01:09:17,600 less satisfactory say from an 1738 01:09:21,669 --> 01:09:20,239 astrobiological um 1739 01:09:22,630 --> 01:09:21,679 perspective 1740 01:09:26,229 --> 01:09:22,640 and then 1741 01:09:27,910 --> 01:09:26,239 really point to the fact that nearly 1742 01:09:30,709 --> 01:09:27,920 fosse is this 1743 01:09:33,110 --> 01:09:30,719 uh unique site on mars and that having 1744 01:09:34,950 --> 01:09:33,120 this large-scale regional 1745 01:09:36,709 --> 01:09:34,960 serpentinizing system was probably 1746 01:09:38,229 --> 01:09:36,719 pretty rare 1747 01:09:40,229 --> 01:09:38,239 um at least for what from what we can 1748 01:09:43,030 --> 01:09:40,239 detect at present day 1749 01:09:44,709 --> 01:09:43,040 um and so i think from a habitability 1750 01:09:47,829 --> 01:09:44,719 standpoint this is a really intriguing 1751 01:09:50,630 --> 01:09:47,839 place to go study in more detail 1752 01:09:52,149 --> 01:09:50,640 certainly is is pretty rare so it 1753 01:09:54,149 --> 01:09:52,159 it seems like a very interesting place 1754 01:09:56,550 --> 01:09:54,159 to go look and regardless of whether or 1755 01:09:58,870 --> 01:09:56,560 not life formed there i think it has a 1756 01:10:02,229 --> 01:09:58,880 lot of implications for um 1757 01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:02,239 for planetary evolution on mars ours 1758 01:10:06,790 --> 01:10:04,560 so my my last kind of thoughts are there 1759 01:10:08,149 --> 01:10:06,800 quite a few um open-ended questions i 1760 01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:08,159 say with this study 1761 01:10:11,510 --> 01:10:09,760 from the data we have now it's really 1762 01:10:13,110 --> 01:10:11,520 hard to say whether or not any 1763 01:10:15,350 --> 01:10:13,120 serpentinization in the lyfosa was 1764 01:10:17,189 --> 01:10:15,360 sustained or episodic it's not clear if 1765 01:10:19,430 --> 01:10:17,199 it came and went for how long it lasted 1766 01:10:21,270 --> 01:10:19,440 there's still a lot of olivine left so 1767 01:10:22,709 --> 01:10:21,280 clearly you know all of it wasn't 1768 01:10:24,149 --> 01:10:22,719 serpentinized 1769 01:10:25,510 --> 01:10:24,159 it's hard to say what the mineral 1770 01:10:27,030 --> 01:10:25,520 abundances are 1771 01:10:27,990 --> 01:10:27,040 with the data we have so i think this 1772 01:10:30,550 --> 01:10:28,000 really 1773 01:10:32,470 --> 01:10:30,560 makes it an even a better case for going 1774 01:10:37,510 --> 01:10:32,480 there with a landed mission that has 1775 01:10:40,870 --> 01:10:39,030 better techniques for determining the 1776 01:10:42,870 --> 01:10:40,880 mineral abundances 1777 01:10:44,470 --> 01:10:42,880 and then it's still not clear how well 1778 01:10:47,590 --> 01:10:44,480 bio signatures are preserved in these 1779 01:10:49,189 --> 01:10:47,600 environments necessarily so um 1780 01:10:50,390 --> 01:10:49,199 as i you know the last few days 1781 01:10:51,990 --> 01:10:50,400 listening to everyone talk it sounds 1782 01:10:53,590 --> 01:10:52,000 like the most biologically productive 1783 01:10:54,470 --> 01:10:53,600 areas and these serpentinizing systems 1784 01:10:55,430 --> 01:10:54,480 are where 1785 01:10:56,630 --> 01:10:55,440 um 1786 01:10:58,630 --> 01:10:56,640 the 1787 01:11:00,310 --> 01:10:58,640 altered fluids are interacting with 1788 01:11:02,229 --> 01:11:00,320 fresh water or where you're getting 1789 01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:02,239 mixing so it's not clear where that's 1790 01:11:05,669 --> 01:11:03,920 exactly happening in milli fossa is that 1791 01:11:06,950 --> 01:11:05,679 actually happening in that olivine rich 1792 01:11:09,510 --> 01:11:06,960 layer or 1793 01:11:10,790 --> 01:11:09,520 do we need to look down watershed at 1794 01:11:12,790 --> 01:11:10,800 where these fluids would have been 1795 01:11:14,149 --> 01:11:12,800 coming out of the surface 1796 01:11:16,390 --> 01:11:14,159 and i think a lot of the research that 1797 01:11:17,990 --> 01:11:16,400 people are doing in oman and 1798 01:11:21,590 --> 01:11:18,000 velocity and actually drilling into the 1799 01:11:23,189 --> 01:11:21,600 bedrock will give us a better idea of 1800 01:11:25,510 --> 01:11:23,199 where we should be looking as far as 1801 01:11:26,870 --> 01:11:25,520 biosignatures from this environment 1802 01:11:29,350 --> 01:11:26,880 so i'll leave it with that i i think 1803 01:11:34,470 --> 01:11:29,360 there probably is a lot to discuss 1804 01:11:37,189 --> 01:11:36,470 thanks so much the questions are coming 1805 01:11:38,830 --> 01:11:37,199 in 1806 01:11:41,990 --> 01:11:38,840 um 1807 01:11:43,430 --> 01:11:42,000 so let me just uh start at the top 1808 01:11:44,709 --> 01:11:43,440 um 1809 01:11:47,750 --> 01:11:44,719 so there's a question from adrian brown 1810 01:11:48,950 --> 01:11:47,760 whether you've found anything um 1811 01:11:55,430 --> 01:11:48,960 uh 1812 01:11:56,470 --> 01:11:55,440 he thinks that the resolution was just 1813 01:11:58,790 --> 01:11:56,480 was uh 1814 01:12:00,470 --> 01:11:58,800 the outcomes were too small 1815 01:12:02,709 --> 01:12:00,480 yeah so 1816 01:12:04,470 --> 01:12:02,719 yeah that in the thermometer two thermal 1817 01:12:06,550 --> 01:12:04,480 infrared spectrometers 1818 01:12:07,990 --> 01:12:06,560 that have been to mars there's the test 1819 01:12:09,990 --> 01:12:08,000 instrument which actually is pretty high 1820 01:12:12,229 --> 01:12:10,000 resolution and would be able to observe 1821 01:12:14,470 --> 01:12:12,239 serpentine the spectral resolution but 1822 01:12:16,149 --> 01:12:14,480 unfortunately the spatial resolution is 1823 01:12:17,990 --> 01:12:16,159 kilometers in scale so there's no way 1824 01:12:19,750 --> 01:12:18,000 we'd be able to see um 1825 01:12:22,950 --> 01:12:19,760 those serpentine outcrops 1826 01:12:24,709 --> 01:12:22,960 and then the femus instrument has a 1827 01:12:27,350 --> 01:12:24,719 better spatial resolution it's still 1828 01:12:29,189 --> 01:12:27,360 about 200 meters per pixel but the 1829 01:12:30,790 --> 01:12:29,199 spectral resolution is so poor that you 1830 01:12:33,030 --> 01:12:30,800 wouldn't actually be able to say whether 1831 01:12:34,950 --> 01:12:33,040 or not there was serpentine um that's 1832 01:12:36,390 --> 01:12:34,960 better at telling you oak silica 1833 01:12:38,870 --> 01:12:36,400 abundances so unfortunately with the 1834 01:12:40,550 --> 01:12:38,880 data we have today for the instruments 1835 01:12:42,229 --> 01:12:40,560 we have available today in thermal bread 1836 01:12:43,030 --> 01:12:42,239 we don't see them 1837 01:12:44,870 --> 01:12:43,040 okay 1838 01:12:47,750 --> 01:12:44,880 i had a related question in the visible 1839 01:12:49,830 --> 01:12:47,760 spectrum uh there are large outcrops of 1840 01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:49,840 serpentine that i know of in california 1841 01:12:53,110 --> 01:12:52,080 i've often wondered about uh seeing 1842 01:12:55,590 --> 01:12:53,120 those in 1843 01:12:57,669 --> 01:12:55,600 spatial mapping wondering if um if 1844 01:13:00,390 --> 01:12:57,679 that's a reasonable thing to pursue and 1845 01:13:03,110 --> 01:13:00,400 if current instrumentation at mars is 1846 01:13:05,110 --> 01:13:03,120 not up to the task 1847 01:13:08,310 --> 01:13:05,120 yeah i i haven't looked for those 1848 01:13:11,030 --> 01:13:08,320 outcrops um in earth data 1849 01:13:12,870 --> 01:13:11,040 i imagine that um 1850 01:13:15,590 --> 01:13:12,880 you know for earth stuff you really 1851 01:13:16,870 --> 01:13:15,600 vegetation really gets in the way 1852 01:13:19,430 --> 01:13:16,880 and um 1853 01:13:20,870 --> 01:13:19,440 so i i would be worried that that you 1854 01:13:23,350 --> 01:13:20,880 would be flooding those spectral 1855 01:13:25,669 --> 01:13:23,360 absorptions with with other um 1856 01:13:28,390 --> 01:13:25,679 interfering factors but i think there 1857 01:13:30,550 --> 01:13:28,400 are uh folks in bethany allman's group 1858 01:13:32,790 --> 01:13:30,560 looking in oman about crops in oman and 1859 01:13:35,189 --> 01:13:32,800 trying to correlate um you know 1860 01:13:36,630 --> 01:13:35,199 spacecraft aerial spectral data to what 1861 01:13:39,030 --> 01:13:36,640 they actually see on the ground and 1862 01:13:40,790 --> 01:13:39,040 really trying to understand what you can 1863 01:13:42,550 --> 01:13:40,800 observe from orbit 1864 01:13:43,590 --> 01:13:42,560 and how that relates to what's actually 1865 01:13:52,550 --> 01:13:43,600 on the surface and that'll have 1866 01:13:57,830 --> 01:13:54,950 okay that's great um 1867 01:13:59,830 --> 01:13:57,840 tom clarifies that uh 1868 01:14:01,189 --> 01:13:59,840 serpentine is usually associated with 1869 01:14:03,270 --> 01:14:01,199 ultramafic rocks not all of the 1870 01:14:04,630 --> 01:14:03,280 enrichment assault um and you're just 1871 01:14:09,189 --> 01:14:04,640 wondering if there are instances where 1872 01:14:13,990 --> 01:14:12,070 well i i think 1873 01:14:16,390 --> 01:14:14,000 i i don't know off the top of my head of 1874 01:14:20,470 --> 01:14:16,400 serpentinization and in just the salt 1875 01:14:23,350 --> 01:14:20,480 but aren't ultramafic um but for mars 40 1876 01:14:25,350 --> 01:14:23,360 olivine uh in a basalt is pretty ultra 1877 01:14:27,910 --> 01:14:25,360 mafic and that's about as good as you 1878 01:14:29,510 --> 01:14:27,920 get on the surface of mars um and so i 1879 01:14:32,229 --> 01:14:29,520 think it's it's pretty intriguing that 1880 01:14:34,229 --> 01:14:32,239 we do see these spectral responses 1881 01:14:36,470 --> 01:14:34,239 for serpentine and they're diagnostics 1882 01:14:37,910 --> 01:14:36,480 and we know serpentine is there in 1883 01:14:40,830 --> 01:14:37,920 in some form we don't know the 1884 01:14:43,990 --> 01:14:40,840 concentration of it but it's it's 1885 01:14:45,350 --> 01:14:44,000 detectable um in 20 meter pixels from 1886 01:14:46,470 --> 01:14:45,360 prism 1887 01:14:49,590 --> 01:14:46,480 um 1888 01:14:53,030 --> 01:14:49,600 so it's a little unsatisfactory but 1889 01:14:54,830 --> 01:14:53,040 okay 40 percent ultra mars 1890 01:14:57,030 --> 01:14:54,840 okay so point of 1891 01:14:59,430 --> 01:14:57,040 clarification uh brian heineck was 1892 01:15:01,430 --> 01:14:59,440 asking uh in your survey it seemed like 1893 01:15:04,470 --> 01:15:01,440 there were some previous serpentine 1894 01:15:05,669 --> 01:15:04,480 detections um that weren't represented 1895 01:15:07,189 --> 01:15:05,679 in your map and 1896 01:15:09,270 --> 01:15:07,199 uh is that 1897 01:15:12,229 --> 01:15:09,280 so and if so why 1898 01:15:14,310 --> 01:15:12,239 yeah i didn't see those before a few 1899 01:15:17,830 --> 01:15:14,320 days ago so those will be absolutely 1900 01:15:19,030 --> 01:15:17,840 added to my to my map um and in looking 1901 01:15:21,590 --> 01:15:19,040 at where they are they kind of fall 1902 01:15:32,790 --> 01:15:21,600 between isidius and helispacen so those 1903 01:15:36,870 --> 01:15:34,630 wondering if the system is sub-aerial at 1904 01:15:39,750 --> 01:15:36,880 the time or uh or if it's subsurface 1905 01:15:41,430 --> 01:15:39,760 that was then exposed later 1906 01:15:43,990 --> 01:15:41,440 so i i believe that this is all 1907 01:15:46,310 --> 01:15:44,000 subsurface so the olivine rich basalt is 1908 01:15:48,470 --> 01:15:46,320 actually capped by another unit this 1909 01:15:50,229 --> 01:15:48,480 this capping unit of an olivine for 1910 01:15:52,310 --> 01:15:50,239 basalt and all of this would have been 1911 01:15:54,229 --> 01:15:52,320 covered at some time and now it's being 1912 01:15:55,270 --> 01:15:54,239 exposed to the surface so 1913 01:15:57,590 --> 01:15:55,280 um 1914 01:15:58,790 --> 01:15:57,600 this the olivine rich unit probably 1915 01:16:00,070 --> 01:15:58,800 wasn't 1916 01:16:03,270 --> 01:16:00,080 on the surface when it was 1917 01:16:07,270 --> 01:16:04,149 okay 1918 01:16:08,229 --> 01:16:07,280 uh cody lazar chimes in about clarifying 1919 01:16:09,189 --> 01:16:08,239 um 1920 01:16:11,669 --> 01:16:09,199 this question about all of the 1921 01:16:14,229 --> 01:16:11,679 enrichment assaults and states that uh 1922 01:16:15,510 --> 01:16:14,239 uh seen it some sometimes rarely in the 1923 01:16:17,430 --> 01:16:15,520 thin sections 1924 01:16:19,110 --> 01:16:17,440 uh 1925 01:16:21,030 --> 01:16:19,120 i'm not sure what surely in bulk process 1926 01:16:22,149 --> 01:16:21,040 equilibrium you're seeing this as well 1927 01:16:24,070 --> 01:16:22,159 um 1928 01:16:26,310 --> 01:16:24,080 the student just found uh serpentine 1929 01:16:28,950 --> 01:16:26,320 pseudomonas 1930 01:16:34,310 --> 01:16:28,960 in the san bernardino mountains 1931 01:16:36,630 --> 01:16:35,110 okay 1932 01:16:38,310 --> 01:16:36,640 um 1933 01:16:40,229 --> 01:16:38,320 let's see the 1934 01:16:41,830 --> 01:16:40,239 is it possible to define the minimum 1935 01:16:43,910 --> 01:16:41,840 aerial extent or degree of 1936 01:16:46,950 --> 01:16:43,920 serpentinization necessary for a 1937 01:16:49,910 --> 01:16:46,960 diagnostic special signature um 1938 01:16:53,270 --> 01:16:49,920 and any associated carbonates 1939 01:16:56,070 --> 01:16:53,280 yeah let's see um 1940 01:16:57,430 --> 01:16:56,080 it's that's really hard it's really hard 1941 01:16:59,910 --> 01:16:57,440 to get 1942 01:17:01,270 --> 01:16:59,920 uh concentrations in near-infrared data 1943 01:17:04,550 --> 01:17:01,280 because of scattering effects so the 1944 01:17:07,669 --> 01:17:04,560 best you can do is say okay this 20 1945 01:17:08,790 --> 01:17:07,679 meter pixel in chrism 1946 01:17:10,709 --> 01:17:08,800 um 1947 01:17:12,790 --> 01:17:10,719 has the spectral signature and then you 1948 01:17:14,790 --> 01:17:12,800 can hopefully go in with higher 1949 01:17:17,189 --> 01:17:14,800 resolution visual data 1950 01:17:20,149 --> 01:17:17,199 and try and piece out which outcrops 1951 01:17:22,149 --> 01:17:20,159 might actually be 1952 01:17:25,430 --> 01:17:22,159 producing that signature typically i 1953 01:17:27,270 --> 01:17:25,440 think what what people say is about 10 1954 01:17:29,910 --> 01:17:27,280 volume percent 1955 01:17:32,229 --> 01:17:29,920 phylosolocate is what you is the minimum 1956 01:17:33,590 --> 01:17:32,239 that you could probably see within these 1957 01:17:35,030 --> 01:17:33,600 um 1958 01:17:36,229 --> 01:17:35,040 spectral signatures 1959 01:17:38,790 --> 01:17:36,239 um 1960 01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:38,800 but it it it's hard to 1961 01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:41,440 to actually get an aerial extent without 1962 01:17:49,030 --> 01:17:45,760 knowing exactly where the outcrops are 1963 01:17:53,030 --> 01:17:50,950 obviously an important thing to consider 1964 01:17:53,910 --> 01:17:53,040 for the future seems like this is 1965 01:17:55,669 --> 01:17:53,920 something that we're going to keep 1966 01:17:57,590 --> 01:17:55,679 learning more about as 1967 01:17:59,430 --> 01:17:57,600 let's continue as mars exploration 1968 01:18:01,189 --> 01:17:59,440 continues um 1969 01:18:03,990 --> 01:18:01,199 so we just have a little bit of time for 1970 01:18:05,669 --> 01:18:04,000 the break uh adrian brown mentions that 1971 01:18:07,350 --> 01:18:05,679 there are some ground studies in 1972 01:18:11,590 --> 01:18:07,360 australia wondering if adrian if you 1973 01:18:15,430 --> 01:18:12,950 oh that uh 1974 01:18:17,590 --> 01:18:15,440 i i missed the question 1975 01:18:19,750 --> 01:18:17,600 uh well so i'm asking adrian to 1976 01:18:25,350 --> 01:18:19,760 elaborate i'm not sure what uh ground 1977 01:18:31,189 --> 01:18:27,750 oh and i'm just reading one of brian 1978 01:18:34,470 --> 01:18:31,199 ryan's questions about um 1979 01:18:37,910 --> 01:18:36,149 some of bethany and christina's 1980 01:18:38,950 --> 01:18:37,920 detections don't have detections in my 1981 01:18:41,830 --> 01:18:38,960 study so 1982 01:18:43,830 --> 01:18:41,840 um in bethany allman's 2010 paper she 1983 01:18:45,270 --> 01:18:43,840 had some probable detections she had her 1984 01:18:47,189 --> 01:18:45,280 confidence sections which were those 1985 01:18:49,830 --> 01:18:47,199 stars and then probable detections which 1986 01:18:51,430 --> 01:18:49,840 were squares and um 1987 01:18:53,750 --> 01:18:51,440 to me i think that 1988 01:18:55,350 --> 01:18:53,760 so that spectral spectral signature for 1989 01:18:57,270 --> 01:18:55,360 serpentine is so 1990 01:18:59,430 --> 01:18:57,280 um dubious 1991 01:19:00,470 --> 01:18:59,440 that it could just be that 1992 01:19:03,030 --> 01:19:00,480 those ones that she thought were 1993 01:19:04,950 --> 01:19:03,040 probable um 1994 01:19:06,070 --> 01:19:04,960 maybe weren't real 1995 01:19:07,510 --> 01:19:06,080 um 1996 01:19:09,030 --> 01:19:07,520 it's really hard to find it in the near 1997 01:19:11,270 --> 01:19:09,040 infrared so i think it says something 1998 01:19:13,270 --> 01:19:11,280 that the ones that she was confident in 1999 01:19:14,709 --> 01:19:13,280 we independently confirmed as well and 2000 01:19:16,149 --> 01:19:14,719 maybe that helps constrain whether or 2001 01:19:17,669 --> 01:19:16,159 not her probables were real and then 2002 01:19:20,709 --> 01:19:17,679 there are a few of christina viviana's 2003 01:19:24,149 --> 01:19:20,719 that we also didn't um corroborate 2004 01:19:25,750 --> 01:19:24,159 um and again i'm not i can't say why or 2005 01:19:27,750 --> 01:19:25,760 we did or we didn't it might just be 2006 01:19:31,669 --> 01:19:27,760 that those spectral signatures are a 2007 01:19:37,350 --> 01:19:34,870 okay uh we are into the break period but 2008 01:19:39,030 --> 01:19:37,360 i do want to just uh touch on the last 2009 01:19:40,790 --> 01:19:39,040 questions that just came up and then we 2010 01:19:43,110 --> 01:19:40,800 can continue receiving questions during 2011 01:19:44,709 --> 01:19:43,120 the break um there was a question about 2012 01:19:47,910 --> 01:19:44,719 the concurrent formation of the 2013 01:19:49,270 --> 01:19:47,920 carbonates with the serpentinization um 2014 01:19:51,990 --> 01:19:49,280 or whether they formed afterward and if 2015 01:19:53,189 --> 01:19:52,000 there's any way to really constrain that 2016 01:19:54,790 --> 01:19:53,199 yeah so 2017 01:19:56,630 --> 01:19:54,800 the carbonate can form under a few 2018 01:19:59,030 --> 01:19:56,640 different scenarios right like you could 2019 01:20:01,189 --> 01:19:59,040 actually just get the alteration of 2020 01:20:02,550 --> 01:20:01,199 olivine from surface water 2021 01:20:04,790 --> 01:20:02,560 um to 2022 01:20:06,950 --> 01:20:04,800 to produce the magnesium carbonate or 2023 01:20:09,110 --> 01:20:06,960 the carbonate again could form from the 2024 01:20:11,750 --> 01:20:09,120 subsequent alteration of serpentine to 2025 01:20:13,830 --> 01:20:11,760 form talc and magnesite and i think the 2026 01:20:16,550 --> 01:20:13,840 fact that we're seeing the talc with the 2027 01:20:18,390 --> 01:20:16,560 magnesite and the serpentine kind of put 2028 01:20:20,070 --> 01:20:18,400 everything together in this 2029 01:20:21,590 --> 01:20:20,080 nice little package that implies 2030 01:20:23,910 --> 01:20:21,600 carbonation 2031 01:20:26,149 --> 01:20:23,920 but it could be that there are multiple 2032 01:20:28,470 --> 01:20:26,159 mechanisms for forming that carbonate in 2033 01:20:30,390 --> 01:20:28,480 um in milli fossa there are other 2034 01:20:32,149 --> 01:20:30,400 exposures of magnesium carbonate across 2035 01:20:33,910 --> 01:20:32,159 mars that aren't necessarily associated 2036 01:20:34,629 --> 01:20:33,920 with um 2037 01:20:36,070 --> 01:20:34,639 so 2038 01:20:37,990 --> 01:20:36,080 i don't think we're we're not 2039 01:20:41,430 --> 01:20:38,000 necessarily only seeing one mechanism 2040 01:20:44,070 --> 01:20:42,790 yeah that makes sense so we shouldn't 2041 01:20:48,229 --> 01:20:44,080 necessarily be biased by our 2042 01:20:50,390 --> 01:20:48,239 expectations from earth um yeah 2043 01:20:53,110 --> 01:20:50,400 okay i i think cody's comment is a 2044 01:20:54,149 --> 01:20:53,120 clarification on uh 2045 01:20:55,669 --> 01:20:54,159 on 2046 01:20:57,270 --> 01:20:55,679 your uh 2047 01:20:59,350 --> 01:20:57,280 the earlier discussion about the 2048 01:21:01,590 --> 01:20:59,360 occurrence of the solid serpentine so 2049 01:21:03,750 --> 01:21:01,600 all right so let's go to our break um we 2050 01:21:06,629 --> 01:21:03,760 will reconvene just a minute or two 2051 01:21:09,270 --> 01:21:06,639 after 10 35 with uh mark nova 2052 01:21:11,669 --> 01:21:09,280 so thanks again 2053 01:21:12,870 --> 01:21:11,679 thanks for having me give this talk 2054 01:21:14,950 --> 01:21:12,880 so for those of you who don't know me 2055 01:21:17,110 --> 01:21:14,960 i'm a postdoc at arizona state 2056 01:21:23,270 --> 01:21:17,120 university and i'll try to give you a 2057 01:21:27,110 --> 01:21:25,910 and thanks for having me give this talk 2058 01:21:28,390 --> 01:21:27,120 so for those of you who don't know me 2059 01:21:30,709 --> 01:21:28,400 i'm a postdoc 2060 01:21:32,790 --> 01:21:30,719 at arizona state university and uh i'll 2061 01:21:35,110 --> 01:21:32,800 try to give you a brief overview of 2062 01:21:36,390 --> 01:21:35,120 serpentinity on small bodies from three 2063 01:21:38,950 --> 01:21:36,400 cent points 2064 01:21:40,229 --> 01:21:38,960 first what we know from meteorites 2065 01:21:43,510 --> 01:21:40,239 second 2066 01:21:45,990 --> 01:21:43,520 what we know from modeling works 2067 01:21:48,070 --> 01:21:46,000 and third the ground truth uh from the 2068 01:21:51,270 --> 01:21:48,080 exploration of series recently by the 2069 01:21:54,550 --> 01:21:53,110 so first we're very lucky with small 2070 01:21:56,149 --> 01:21:54,560 bodies because we have three return 2071 01:21:57,910 --> 01:21:56,159 samples 2072 01:22:00,070 --> 01:21:57,920 in the form of meteorites which are 2073 01:22:02,229 --> 01:22:00,080 basically fragments ejected 2074 01:22:03,590 --> 01:22:02,239 when these asteroids collide and they 2075 01:22:04,950 --> 01:22:03,600 fall down to earth 2076 01:22:06,709 --> 01:22:04,960 so the most primitive of these are 2077 01:22:11,669 --> 01:22:06,719 called contracts 2078 01:22:15,990 --> 01:22:13,830 show that you have this 2079 01:22:17,430 --> 01:22:16,000 dark matrix 2080 01:22:19,510 --> 01:22:17,440 essentially made of 2081 01:22:21,830 --> 01:22:19,520 anhydrous silicates 2082 01:22:23,910 --> 01:22:21,840 all living pyroxene 2083 01:22:26,950 --> 01:22:23,920 and you also see these interspersed 2084 01:22:29,430 --> 01:22:26,960 bright specks like this one here 2085 01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:29,440 uh which is metal and so essentially 2086 01:22:34,550 --> 01:22:31,760 these these mineralogies are quite 2087 01:22:36,310 --> 01:22:34,560 similar to ultramatic rocks uh plus the 2088 01:22:38,950 --> 01:22:36,320 metal which on earth 2089 01:22:40,229 --> 01:22:38,960 has sunk to the core 2090 01:22:42,149 --> 01:22:40,239 now there are other contracts called 2091 01:22:42,950 --> 01:22:42,159 carbonaceous contracts 2092 01:22:45,350 --> 01:22:42,960 um 2093 01:22:47,830 --> 01:22:45,360 whose mineralogy is quite different 2094 01:22:49,990 --> 01:22:47,840 much more hydrated 2095 01:22:51,189 --> 01:22:50,000 and you can see here a breakdown of the 2096 01:22:53,430 --> 01:22:51,199 mineralogy 2097 01:22:54,950 --> 01:22:53,440 of these uh cm contracts the class of 2098 01:22:58,070 --> 01:22:54,960 combinations contracts name after the 2099 01:23:00,149 --> 01:22:58,080 the mary meteorite 2100 01:23:01,430 --> 01:23:00,159 and and these are predominantly 2101 01:23:03,830 --> 01:23:01,440 serpentine 2102 01:23:08,790 --> 01:23:03,840 so magnesiums are present in green 2103 01:23:10,550 --> 01:23:08,800 and iron serpentine and black grayish 2104 01:23:13,750 --> 01:23:10,560 they still have about ten to thirty 2105 01:23:15,830 --> 01:23:13,760 percent of uh teroxin and olivine 2106 01:23:19,510 --> 01:23:15,840 but but their mineralogy is 2107 01:23:20,629 --> 01:23:19,520 substantially altered 2108 01:23:22,470 --> 01:23:20,639 so this is 2109 01:23:23,910 --> 01:23:22,480 evidence that we have from 2110 01:23:26,390 --> 01:23:23,920 immediate rights for 2111 01:23:29,350 --> 01:23:26,400 synchronization on small bodies 2112 01:23:32,310 --> 01:23:29,360 we also have direct evidence from 2113 01:23:34,310 --> 01:23:32,320 remote observations and this is as early 2114 01:23:35,189 --> 01:23:34,320 as the late 70s 2115 01:23:36,550 --> 01:23:35,199 um 2116 01:23:38,149 --> 01:23:36,560 showing a 2117 01:23:40,390 --> 01:23:38,159 data points 2118 01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:40,400 of an infrared spectrum of series so you 2119 01:23:43,189 --> 01:23:41,760 see the data points here and then the 2120 01:23:46,229 --> 01:23:43,199 lines 2121 01:23:47,669 --> 01:23:46,239 are carbonaceous contract spectra to try 2122 01:23:49,350 --> 01:23:47,679 to match 2123 01:23:51,270 --> 01:23:49,360 these data points 2124 01:23:52,550 --> 01:23:51,280 and there is a some absorption of three 2125 01:23:55,270 --> 01:23:52,560 microns 2126 01:23:56,790 --> 01:23:55,280 that's characteristic of 2127 01:23:59,270 --> 01:23:56,800 bounds oh 2128 01:24:02,470 --> 01:23:59,280 and so evidence of water for hydration 2129 01:24:05,030 --> 01:24:02,480 and since these first observations 2130 01:24:06,629 --> 01:24:05,040 this event has been seen on many other 2131 01:24:10,310 --> 01:24:06,639 asteroids between mars and jupiter 2132 01:24:14,790 --> 01:24:11,510 um so 2133 01:24:16,550 --> 01:24:14,800 quite early on even the the early 60s it 2134 01:24:19,430 --> 01:24:16,560 was established that 2135 01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:19,440 most likely these carbonaceous contracts 2136 01:24:22,790 --> 01:24:21,280 are the results of the aqueous 2137 01:24:27,990 --> 01:24:22,800 alteration 2138 01:24:30,950 --> 01:24:29,350 and so that the 2139 01:24:33,189 --> 01:24:30,960 the olivine the tyrex team the metal 2140 01:24:35,669 --> 01:24:33,199 gets turned uh into serpentine and 2141 01:24:36,550 --> 01:24:35,679 associated magnetite etc 2142 01:24:40,709 --> 01:24:36,560 um 2143 01:24:42,629 --> 01:24:40,719 developed and that's 2144 01:24:44,790 --> 01:24:42,639 pretty much still the same today 2145 01:24:46,470 --> 01:24:44,800 is that um 2146 01:24:49,189 --> 01:24:46,480 small bodies that i created ice and 2147 01:24:50,550 --> 01:24:49,199 anhydrous silicates um heated up either 2148 01:24:53,270 --> 01:24:50,560 via 2149 01:24:55,110 --> 01:24:53,280 endogenic processes due to rejective 2150 01:24:56,149 --> 01:24:55,120 decay 2151 01:24:59,030 --> 01:24:56,159 or 2152 01:25:01,030 --> 01:24:59,040 exogenic processes 2153 01:25:01,910 --> 01:25:01,040 due to impacts 2154 01:25:04,390 --> 01:25:01,920 um 2155 01:25:06,709 --> 01:25:04,400 and that this melted the ice uh the 2156 01:25:09,350 --> 01:25:06,719 resulting liquid water reacted within 2157 01:25:11,110 --> 01:25:09,360 hydrosilicates to hydrate them 2158 01:25:13,510 --> 01:25:11,120 and this is how we got the material that 2159 01:25:15,270 --> 01:25:13,520 we see in carbonaceous contracts 2160 01:25:16,149 --> 01:25:15,280 so essentially wherever there was liquid 2161 01:25:18,070 --> 01:25:16,159 water 2162 01:25:19,590 --> 01:25:18,080 in contact with contract material we 2163 01:25:25,030 --> 01:25:19,600 should expect 2164 01:25:28,870 --> 01:25:26,950 now different modes of aqueous 2165 01:25:30,709 --> 01:25:28,880 alterations have been postulated and the 2166 01:25:32,790 --> 01:25:30,719 reason for this is that we see 2167 01:25:34,870 --> 01:25:32,800 uh different classes 2168 01:25:36,310 --> 01:25:34,880 of combinations contracts uh the ci 2169 01:25:37,830 --> 01:25:36,320 chondrites for example named after the 2170 01:25:39,270 --> 01:25:37,840 ivuna meteorite 2171 01:25:41,350 --> 01:25:39,280 um 2172 01:25:43,350 --> 01:25:41,360 show and a bulk elemental composition 2173 01:25:46,070 --> 01:25:43,360 that's really close to that of the sun 2174 01:25:47,910 --> 01:25:46,080 and presumably the bulk solar system 2175 01:25:49,830 --> 01:25:47,920 uh and so it's inferred that the 2176 01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:49,840 alteration in the meteorite was 2177 01:25:53,669 --> 01:25:51,440 isochemical 2178 01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:53,679 and most likely that the fluid that that 2179 01:25:56,950 --> 01:25:55,360 altered 2180 01:25:59,910 --> 01:25:56,960 the anhydrous silicates didn't really 2181 01:26:03,030 --> 01:25:59,920 move everything stayed in place 2182 01:26:05,830 --> 01:26:03,040 whereas the cm contracts are 2183 01:26:07,510 --> 01:26:05,840 site diffractions in terms of elements 2184 01:26:09,510 --> 01:26:07,520 compared to the bulk sun 2185 01:26:10,950 --> 01:26:09,520 and so it's inferred that the fluids 2186 01:26:12,149 --> 01:26:10,960 that altered these 2187 01:26:13,590 --> 01:26:12,159 um 2188 01:26:16,149 --> 01:26:13,600 this material 2189 01:26:18,709 --> 01:26:16,159 moved with respect to it either in terms 2190 01:26:20,950 --> 01:26:18,719 of a single pass flow where 2191 01:26:23,350 --> 01:26:20,960 then the fluid vaporized space or 2192 01:26:25,350 --> 01:26:23,360 perhaps in a more in a closed system 2193 01:26:27,110 --> 01:26:25,360 where you had a multi-pass convection 2194 01:26:28,870 --> 01:26:27,120 kind of in a hydrothermal circulation 2195 01:26:31,510 --> 01:26:28,880 pattern 2196 01:26:33,110 --> 01:26:31,520 and more recently 2197 01:26:34,390 --> 01:26:33,120 there has been 2198 01:26:35,750 --> 01:26:34,400 new ways 2199 01:26:38,070 --> 01:26:35,760 new physical settings for alteration 2200 01:26:39,030 --> 01:26:38,080 phospholipids like like this one 2201 01:26:40,629 --> 01:26:39,040 um 2202 01:26:42,550 --> 01:26:40,639 the giant contacting meth balls of the 2203 01:26:44,709 --> 01:26:42,560 early solar system where instead of 2204 01:26:45,990 --> 01:26:44,719 having chunks of rocks the rock is 2205 01:26:48,310 --> 01:26:46,000 assumed to be 2206 01:26:49,189 --> 01:26:48,320 more like sand or mud in fine systemic 2207 01:26:51,030 --> 01:26:49,199 grains 2208 01:26:53,189 --> 01:26:51,040 that conflict with the fluid and so you 2209 01:26:54,629 --> 01:26:53,199 can have a pervasive alteration 2210 01:27:00,470 --> 01:26:54,639 throughout the body with the rough 2211 01:27:04,709 --> 01:27:02,310 so although we know that there has been 2212 01:27:07,110 --> 01:27:04,719 such a glitch alteration the remaining 2213 01:27:09,270 --> 01:27:07,120 alternative questions like where 2214 01:27:11,830 --> 01:27:09,280 is there was there liquid water 2215 01:27:13,910 --> 01:27:11,840 and how long does the water persist is 2216 01:27:16,470 --> 01:27:13,920 it just for a few millions of years 2217 01:27:19,030 --> 01:27:16,480 after the formation of the solar system 2218 01:27:20,950 --> 01:27:19,040 driven by short-lived activities 2219 01:27:25,510 --> 01:27:20,960 or did it persist for billions of years 2220 01:27:28,950 --> 01:27:26,870 um so 2221 01:27:30,709 --> 01:27:28,960 about where the water is 2222 01:27:32,550 --> 01:27:30,719 we can just look around in the solar 2223 01:27:34,390 --> 01:27:32,560 system i've put here 2224 01:27:36,870 --> 01:27:34,400 a number of bodies of astrological 2225 01:27:38,629 --> 01:27:36,880 significance plus uh series and pluto 2226 01:27:40,629 --> 01:27:38,639 which are probably electrobiological 2227 01:27:41,430 --> 01:27:40,639 significance too at this point 2228 01:27:44,229 --> 01:27:41,440 um 2229 01:27:45,830 --> 01:27:44,239 and the stressing feature here is that 2230 01:27:48,709 --> 01:27:45,840 once you go 2231 01:27:50,790 --> 01:27:48,719 beyond what's called the snow line um 2232 01:27:53,510 --> 01:27:50,800 they keep us the orbit of mars 2233 01:27:54,310 --> 01:27:53,520 uh water is able to condense 2234 01:27:56,709 --> 01:27:54,320 and 2235 01:27:59,750 --> 01:27:56,719 so these objects will create uh large 2236 01:28:02,070 --> 01:27:59,760 amounts of ice uh as evidence that there 2237 01:28:03,510 --> 01:28:02,080 are densities which are all around 2238 01:28:05,590 --> 01:28:03,520 three grams per cubic centimeters so 2239 01:28:07,110 --> 01:28:05,600 essentially they're half water and half 2240 01:28:08,070 --> 01:28:07,120 rock 2241 01:28:10,229 --> 01:28:08,080 um 2242 01:28:13,030 --> 01:28:10,239 so the the amounts of water are not 2243 01:28:15,110 --> 01:28:13,040 really the the issue the question is uh 2244 01:28:16,709 --> 01:28:15,120 where is there liquid water 2245 01:28:20,870 --> 01:28:16,719 and how long did the liquid water 2246 01:28:25,669 --> 01:28:23,750 so a very useful tool to help us 2247 01:28:26,709 --> 01:28:25,679 determine how long there was liquid 2248 01:28:28,950 --> 01:28:26,719 water 2249 01:28:30,390 --> 01:28:28,960 our thermal evolution models 2250 01:28:32,550 --> 01:28:30,400 essentially these are 2251 01:28:34,070 --> 01:28:32,560 numerical models that compute 2252 01:28:36,310 --> 01:28:34,080 the internal structure and the internal 2253 01:28:38,470 --> 01:28:36,320 temperatures uh inside these these 2254 01:28:42,629 --> 01:28:38,480 bodies over time and crystal gives you 2255 01:28:44,310 --> 01:28:42,639 an overview of this a little bit earlier 2256 01:28:45,270 --> 01:28:44,320 so let me go just very quick into how 2257 01:28:47,990 --> 01:28:45,280 these 2258 01:28:49,750 --> 01:28:48,000 uh work 2259 01:28:51,510 --> 01:28:49,760 essentially they compute 2260 01:28:53,350 --> 01:28:51,520 the production of heat 2261 01:28:54,830 --> 01:28:53,360 inside these objects would be the small 2262 01:28:57,750 --> 01:28:54,840 body 2263 01:29:00,629 --> 01:28:57,760 mars uh icy worlds and so on 2264 01:29:02,310 --> 01:29:00,639 um so a chief heat source for small body 2265 01:29:04,229 --> 01:29:02,320 is radioactive decay you don't really 2266 01:29:05,270 --> 01:29:04,239 have any tidal heating 2267 01:29:09,030 --> 01:29:05,280 um 2268 01:29:10,870 --> 01:29:09,040 this can drive uh heating in the rocks 2269 01:29:12,629 --> 01:29:10,880 potential differentiation between rock 2270 01:29:15,110 --> 01:29:12,639 and ice 2271 01:29:17,110 --> 01:29:15,120 if you melt the ice for example 2272 01:29:18,870 --> 01:29:17,120 they compute heat transfers in the rock 2273 01:29:20,550 --> 01:29:18,880 in the ice 2274 01:29:22,950 --> 01:29:20,560 melting and freezing 2275 01:29:24,790 --> 01:29:22,960 of water and their bounds 2276 01:29:26,950 --> 01:29:24,800 by a surface temperature 2277 01:29:29,189 --> 01:29:26,960 which is usually set up by the 2278 01:29:31,430 --> 01:29:29,199 the distance between the objects and the 2279 01:29:33,590 --> 01:29:31,440 sun 2280 01:29:34,709 --> 01:29:33,600 so this is a typical outcome of such a 2281 01:29:36,550 --> 01:29:34,719 model 2282 01:29:38,470 --> 01:29:36,560 from a paper by usually to you and some 2283 01:29:41,189 --> 01:29:38,480 accord 2010. 2284 01:29:43,669 --> 01:29:41,199 um this is a model for series series is 2285 01:29:47,030 --> 01:29:43,679 an object that's about 500 kilometers in 2286 01:29:49,750 --> 01:29:47,040 diameter with a density of about 2.1 2.2 2287 01:29:51,669 --> 01:29:49,760 grams per cubic centimeter 2288 01:29:54,229 --> 01:29:51,679 and so what you're seeing here is the 2289 01:29:55,830 --> 01:29:54,239 map of color map of temperatures uh nut 2290 01:29:57,030 --> 01:29:55,840 composition composition is thrown to the 2291 01:30:00,470 --> 01:29:57,040 right 2292 01:30:02,390 --> 01:30:00,480 uh with the core in the shell 2293 01:30:03,669 --> 01:30:02,400 and the so the temperature are not 2294 01:30:07,189 --> 01:30:03,679 according to the 2295 01:30:09,750 --> 01:30:07,199 scale bar at the bottom and 2296 01:30:11,270 --> 01:30:09,760 these temperatures change from formation 2297 01:30:12,550 --> 01:30:11,280 on the left to the present day on the 2298 01:30:14,550 --> 01:30:12,560 right 2299 01:30:16,870 --> 01:30:14,560 and on the y axis from the center to the 2300 01:30:19,669 --> 01:30:16,880 surface 2301 01:30:22,310 --> 01:30:19,679 so a general feature of these outcomes 2302 01:30:24,709 --> 01:30:22,320 is that first the temperatures increase 2303 01:30:27,270 --> 01:30:24,719 over time and this is because 2304 01:30:29,750 --> 01:30:27,280 reductive decay exceeds 2305 01:30:31,430 --> 01:30:29,760 the loss of heat by transport throughout 2306 01:30:33,110 --> 01:30:31,440 the body transport here is mostly by 2307 01:30:36,070 --> 01:30:33,120 conduction 2308 01:30:38,149 --> 01:30:36,080 um but then at some point after a 2309 01:30:40,390 --> 01:30:38,159 billion years or so this is a log scale 2310 01:30:43,910 --> 01:30:40,400 on the x-axis 2311 01:30:45,110 --> 01:30:43,920 the inside a series cools 2312 01:30:47,350 --> 01:30:45,120 because 2313 01:30:49,189 --> 01:30:47,360 radio rejective heating 2314 01:30:51,990 --> 01:30:49,199 is not powerful enough it decreases over 2315 01:30:53,350 --> 01:30:52,000 time and so transport starts 2316 01:30:55,750 --> 01:30:53,360 becoming dominant 2317 01:30:57,350 --> 01:30:55,760 which way you have cooling 2318 01:30:59,189 --> 01:30:57,360 now the point of interest here with 2319 01:31:00,470 --> 01:30:59,199 these models is to see what happens in 2320 01:31:03,030 --> 01:31:00,480 the shell 2321 01:31:06,550 --> 01:31:03,040 sufficient 2322 01:31:09,270 --> 01:31:06,560 to melt ice and have liquid water 2323 01:31:11,270 --> 01:31:09,280 and with this uh color scale here this 2324 01:31:13,110 --> 01:31:11,280 happens when you transition from the the 2325 01:31:14,950 --> 01:31:13,120 green to the orange and so you can see 2326 01:31:17,430 --> 01:31:14,960 there's a little bit of liquid water 2327 01:31:20,229 --> 01:31:17,440 early on it starts maybe after about 10 2328 01:31:22,310 --> 01:31:20,239 million years in this particular model 2329 01:31:24,229 --> 01:31:22,320 so these are a tool to tell us 2330 01:31:27,189 --> 01:31:24,239 if we have water 2331 01:31:29,189 --> 01:31:27,199 for aqueous alteration 2332 01:31:31,669 --> 01:31:29,199 um 2333 01:31:33,350 --> 01:31:31,679 switch here 2334 01:31:34,950 --> 01:31:33,360 this is a simulation that we did a 2335 01:31:36,950 --> 01:31:34,960 couple years ago with the same 2336 01:31:39,110 --> 01:31:36,960 assumptions for series but the model 2337 01:31:40,629 --> 01:31:39,120 that's completely independent just to 2338 01:31:44,870 --> 01:31:40,639 show you that 2339 01:31:46,709 --> 01:31:44,880 these are pretty robust results 2340 01:31:48,870 --> 01:31:46,719 what about smaller bodies series was 2341 01:31:51,430 --> 01:31:48,880 about 500 kilometers in diameter this is 2342 01:31:53,030 --> 01:31:51,440 an object that's only 50 kilometers 2343 01:31:54,390 --> 01:31:53,040 45 2344 01:31:56,709 --> 01:31:54,400 in radius 2345 01:31:59,990 --> 01:31:58,229 what you can see here is the colorful 2346 01:32:03,110 --> 01:32:00,000 regions have a temperature that's 2347 01:32:07,669 --> 01:32:03,120 sufficient to melt water so everything 2348 01:32:08,790 --> 01:32:07,679 in blue yellow red is above 273 kelvin 2349 01:32:10,229 --> 01:32:08,800 um 2350 01:32:12,470 --> 01:32:10,239 and so you're seeing the same object 2351 01:32:13,830 --> 01:32:12,480 over time evolving 2352 01:32:17,189 --> 01:32:13,840 and just 2353 01:32:18,950 --> 01:32:17,199 about after about 10 million years or so 2354 01:32:21,270 --> 01:32:18,960 the zone where 2355 01:32:23,110 --> 01:32:21,280 water can be liquid almost disappears 2356 01:32:24,390 --> 01:32:23,120 and so the time during which you can 2357 01:32:26,950 --> 01:32:24,400 have liquid water is actually pretty 2358 01:32:30,070 --> 01:32:26,960 short here again just about 10 millions 2359 01:32:33,990 --> 01:32:31,510 what about further out in the solar 2360 01:32:36,790 --> 01:32:34,000 system this is a simulation for pluto's 2361 01:32:38,950 --> 01:32:36,800 moon sharon assurance fairly big 2362 01:32:41,270 --> 01:32:38,960 compared to what we've seen about 600 2363 01:32:42,629 --> 01:32:41,280 kilometers in radius 2364 01:32:44,229 --> 01:32:42,639 and this is another way of showing the 2365 01:32:45,750 --> 01:32:44,239 results uh 2366 01:32:47,189 --> 01:32:45,760 you're looking at temperatures as a 2367 01:32:49,270 --> 01:32:47,199 function of radius 2368 01:32:51,510 --> 01:32:49,280 at different times but the outcome is 2369 01:32:53,110 --> 01:32:51,520 again pretty much the same you have 2370 01:32:54,550 --> 01:32:53,120 heating 2371 01:32:57,669 --> 01:32:54,560 between 2372 01:33:00,470 --> 01:32:57,679 zero one two billion years 2373 01:33:01,750 --> 01:33:00,480 and then cooling afterwards 2374 01:33:03,430 --> 01:33:01,760 um 2375 01:33:04,629 --> 01:33:03,440 so what's important to notice here is 2376 01:33:06,229 --> 01:33:04,639 that 2377 01:33:08,229 --> 01:33:06,239 at the base of the ice 2378 01:33:10,149 --> 01:33:08,239 there is always a region here where 2379 01:33:12,390 --> 01:33:10,159 temperatures are sufficient 2380 01:33:13,669 --> 01:33:12,400 to have liquid water 2381 01:33:15,910 --> 01:33:13,679 and 2382 01:33:17,510 --> 01:33:15,920 here is a diagram of how much liquid 2383 01:33:20,310 --> 01:33:17,520 water you have over time 2384 01:33:21,590 --> 01:33:20,320 in terms of earth oceans 2385 01:33:22,470 --> 01:33:21,600 and essentially you have about one 2386 01:33:25,350 --> 01:33:22,480 percent 2387 01:33:27,669 --> 01:33:25,360 worth of portions persists uh pretty 2388 01:33:29,350 --> 01:33:27,679 much until the present day 2389 01:33:30,390 --> 01:33:29,360 so of course these assessments change a 2390 01:33:31,590 --> 01:33:30,400 little bit depending on model 2391 01:33:32,470 --> 01:33:31,600 assumptions 2392 01:33:34,470 --> 01:33:32,480 um 2393 01:33:36,550 --> 01:33:34,480 but the bottom line here is that you can 2394 01:33:38,390 --> 01:33:36,560 have uh liquid water depending on the 2395 01:33:39,510 --> 01:33:38,400 size of the objects the distance from 2396 01:33:42,310 --> 01:33:39,520 the sun 2397 01:33:43,910 --> 01:33:42,320 uh the the rock content meaning the the 2398 01:33:46,229 --> 01:33:43,920 the amount of radioactivity 2399 01:33:47,510 --> 01:33:46,239 uh anywhere between a few millions of 2400 01:33:52,390 --> 01:33:47,520 years 2401 01:33:57,189 --> 01:33:55,430 so um this is important because 2402 01:34:00,149 --> 01:33:57,199 these models even though they predict 2403 01:34:02,470 --> 01:34:00,159 equip water they didn't really take into 2404 01:34:04,550 --> 01:34:02,480 account what that means in terms of the 2405 01:34:06,870 --> 01:34:04,560 geophysical evolution of these objects 2406 01:34:08,470 --> 01:34:06,880 once you have liquid water 2407 01:34:09,590 --> 01:34:08,480 presumably it starts interacting with 2408 01:34:12,709 --> 01:34:09,600 the rock 2409 01:34:15,110 --> 01:34:12,719 uh especially if there are fractures in 2410 01:34:17,030 --> 01:34:15,120 the core so that the water can percolate 2411 01:34:20,390 --> 01:34:17,040 down 2412 01:34:21,750 --> 01:34:20,400 so potentially it could get heated and 2413 01:34:24,790 --> 01:34:21,760 flows back up 2414 01:34:26,390 --> 01:34:24,800 in hydrothermal circulation patterns 2415 01:34:29,590 --> 01:34:26,400 and of course you have water rough 2416 01:34:31,750 --> 01:34:29,600 reactions which can produce or consume 2417 01:34:34,070 --> 01:34:31,760 antifreezes 2418 01:34:36,390 --> 01:34:34,080 and so all of a sudden you see all these 2419 01:34:37,350 --> 01:34:36,400 feedback arrows pop up in these loops 2420 01:34:39,030 --> 01:34:37,360 that 2421 01:34:41,189 --> 01:34:39,040 aren't really taken into account unless 2422 01:34:42,629 --> 01:34:41,199 you model this explicitly 2423 01:34:45,990 --> 01:34:42,639 and just to show you 2424 01:34:47,510 --> 01:34:46,000 this can really profoundly model the the 2425 01:34:49,030 --> 01:34:47,520 temperature evolution and the structural 2426 01:34:51,030 --> 01:34:49,040 evolution 2427 01:34:52,950 --> 01:34:51,040 of small bodies 2428 01:34:55,910 --> 01:34:52,960 so on the top here is the same 2429 01:34:57,750 --> 01:34:55,920 simulation i showed you before of series 2430 01:35:00,470 --> 01:34:57,760 so with the smooth 2431 01:35:02,550 --> 01:35:00,480 heating and then smooth cooling and at 2432 01:35:04,629 --> 01:35:02,560 the bottom this is uh with the same 2433 01:35:06,470 --> 01:35:04,639 assumptions except that you have 2434 01:35:08,229 --> 01:35:06,480 fracturing in the core and hydrothermal 2435 01:35:09,830 --> 01:35:08,239 circulation 2436 01:35:13,030 --> 01:35:09,840 so it starts off 2437 01:35:15,189 --> 01:35:13,040 uh serious starts off by heating again 2438 01:35:18,470 --> 01:35:15,199 but as soon as you reach the melting 2439 01:35:19,910 --> 01:35:18,480 point of water in the shell 2440 01:35:23,109 --> 01:35:19,920 the model has the water percolate 2441 01:35:24,070 --> 01:35:23,119 through the core and circulates down 2442 01:35:26,229 --> 01:35:24,080 and 2443 01:35:29,350 --> 01:35:26,239 this hydrothermal cooling of the core 2444 01:35:31,270 --> 01:35:29,360 really very efficiently transports heat 2445 01:35:32,709 --> 01:35:31,280 back up into the shell 2446 01:35:34,310 --> 01:35:32,719 where this heat completely melts the 2447 01:35:35,990 --> 01:35:34,320 shell so it's kind of a runaway 2448 01:35:37,350 --> 01:35:36,000 production of liquid 2449 01:35:38,550 --> 01:35:37,360 so you have very 2450 01:35:40,950 --> 01:35:38,560 pervasive 2451 01:35:42,310 --> 01:35:40,960 aqueous alteration here 2452 01:35:43,990 --> 01:35:42,320 and so the the model compute 2453 01:35:45,270 --> 01:35:44,000 serpentization 2454 01:35:47,189 --> 01:35:45,280 uh the 2455 01:35:48,070 --> 01:35:47,199 the thing is that the radioactive 2456 01:35:50,629 --> 01:35:48,080 heating 2457 01:35:52,790 --> 01:35:50,639 cannot really keep up uh with this very 2458 01:35:55,430 --> 01:35:52,800 vigorous cooling by convection in the 2459 01:35:57,910 --> 01:35:55,440 core and then in the ocean 2460 01:36:00,310 --> 01:35:57,920 and so the ocean ends up freezing after 2461 01:36:01,590 --> 01:36:00,320 maybe only 50 million years 100 million 2462 01:36:03,270 --> 01:36:01,600 years or so 2463 01:36:05,189 --> 01:36:03,280 and so you're back 2464 01:36:07,270 --> 01:36:05,199 into the initial state 2465 01:36:10,310 --> 01:36:07,280 where the ocean is frozen 2466 01:36:12,950 --> 01:36:10,320 um there is no more circulation and so 2467 01:36:14,950 --> 01:36:12,960 all the heat transfer is conducted again 2468 01:36:16,310 --> 01:36:14,960 because the heat transfer is not so 2469 01:36:18,229 --> 01:36:16,320 efficient 2470 01:36:19,590 --> 01:36:18,239 series heats up again because of 2471 01:36:21,669 --> 01:36:19,600 radioactivity 2472 01:36:24,149 --> 01:36:21,679 until you reach the point of melting 2473 01:36:25,430 --> 01:36:24,159 water and the same cycle starts again 2474 01:36:27,910 --> 01:36:25,440 now the peak 2475 01:36:29,669 --> 01:36:27,920 of activity here looks very narrow 2476 01:36:31,590 --> 01:36:29,679 this is just because of the love scale 2477 01:36:32,470 --> 01:36:31,600 these periods are always about 2478 01:36:35,030 --> 01:36:32,480 um 2479 01:36:37,590 --> 01:36:35,040 50 to 100 million years in length 2480 01:36:38,950 --> 01:36:37,600 and you have these alternating cycles of 2481 01:36:41,109 --> 01:36:38,960 a cool 2482 01:36:43,910 --> 01:36:41,119 frozen series that's heating 2483 01:36:45,510 --> 01:36:43,920 and then a molten 2484 01:36:48,390 --> 01:36:45,520 water layer that's conducting and 2485 01:36:50,390 --> 01:36:48,400 hydrothermally circulating 2486 01:36:52,629 --> 01:36:50,400 and very efficiently cooling and this 2487 01:36:55,030 --> 01:36:52,639 continues until uh reductive decay just 2488 01:36:58,070 --> 01:36:55,040 becomes too weak uh to 2489 01:36:59,830 --> 01:36:58,080 to ever melt liquid again 2490 01:37:01,990 --> 01:36:59,840 um so notice that the structures are 2491 01:37:04,790 --> 01:37:02,000 very different here the the interior is 2492 01:37:07,109 --> 01:37:04,800 provided pervasively serpentine 2493 01:37:09,510 --> 01:37:07,119 whereas here the core is mostly made of 2494 01:37:11,030 --> 01:37:09,520 dry silicates 2495 01:37:12,709 --> 01:37:11,040 uh in addition 2496 01:37:14,950 --> 01:37:12,719 in the model that accounts for uh 2497 01:37:16,390 --> 01:37:14,960 circulation you can have liquid water 2498 01:37:18,470 --> 01:37:16,400 intermittently for much longer time 2499 01:37:20,550 --> 01:37:18,480 scales billions of years as opposed to 2500 01:37:23,430 --> 01:37:20,560 only in the very early history 2501 01:37:28,070 --> 01:37:25,669 okay so this is what models predict what 2502 01:37:30,950 --> 01:37:28,080 about the ground truth 2503 01:37:32,149 --> 01:37:30,960 so in the past year a series has been 2504 01:37:35,030 --> 01:37:32,159 explored 2505 01:37:37,189 --> 01:37:35,040 by the dom mission 2506 01:37:39,430 --> 01:37:37,199 uh which returned 2507 01:37:41,910 --> 01:37:39,440 great images like this one uh so showing 2508 01:37:44,310 --> 01:37:41,920 a very dark surface very cratered 2509 01:37:46,629 --> 01:37:44,320 but with these very intriguing prominent 2510 01:37:48,870 --> 01:37:46,639 bright spots here 2511 01:37:51,510 --> 01:37:48,880 so don carried this infrared 2512 01:37:53,669 --> 01:37:51,520 spectrometer that acquired spectra in 2513 01:37:55,270 --> 01:37:53,679 the near infrared 2514 01:37:56,550 --> 01:37:55,280 with several features 2515 01:37:58,310 --> 01:37:56,560 this is 2516 01:37:59,990 --> 01:37:58,320 a spectrum of the average 2517 01:38:02,950 --> 01:38:00,000 surface of series it's very uniform 2518 01:38:04,790 --> 01:38:02,960 throughout except for the bright spots 2519 01:38:07,270 --> 01:38:04,800 very little variation 2520 01:38:09,350 --> 01:38:07,280 but the spectrum can be interpreted 2521 01:38:11,590 --> 01:38:09,360 as a mixture of serpentines ammonium 2522 01:38:13,750 --> 01:38:11,600 bearing clays and carbonates which is 2523 01:38:14,950 --> 01:38:13,760 quite unique 2524 01:38:17,669 --> 01:38:14,960 in the source system especially for the 2525 01:38:20,070 --> 01:38:17,679 ammonium bearing clays 2526 01:38:22,310 --> 01:38:20,080 and series very low you know only three 2527 01:38:24,149 --> 01:38:22,320 percent in the infrared can be explained 2528 01:38:26,390 --> 01:38:24,159 by the presence of a dark absorber which 2529 01:38:29,350 --> 01:38:26,400 is still unidentified but it could be 2530 01:38:31,669 --> 01:38:29,360 organics magnetite perhaps sulfides or 2531 01:38:33,990 --> 01:38:31,679 maybe a mixture of all that 2532 01:38:35,109 --> 01:38:34,000 so this is 2533 01:38:37,510 --> 01:38:35,119 showing that 2534 01:38:39,830 --> 01:38:37,520 series is blanketed by products of 2535 01:38:41,669 --> 01:38:39,840 circularization 2536 01:38:44,390 --> 01:38:41,679 what about the bright spots 2537 01:38:45,990 --> 01:38:44,400 the spectra are quite different showing 2538 01:38:47,669 --> 01:38:46,000 features 2539 01:38:48,629 --> 01:38:47,679 that are characteristic of carbonate 2540 01:38:51,270 --> 01:38:48,639 salts 2541 01:38:53,910 --> 01:38:51,280 so here sodium carbonate 2542 01:38:56,070 --> 01:38:53,920 as well as 2543 01:38:58,390 --> 01:38:56,080 ammonium bicarbonates or amino chloride 2544 01:38:59,830 --> 01:38:58,400 perhaps 2545 01:39:02,470 --> 01:38:59,840 and so the question is where did all 2546 01:39:05,350 --> 01:39:02,480 this come from this is this looks like 2547 01:39:07,189 --> 01:39:05,360 a fluid salt left from a fluid that 2548 01:39:09,109 --> 01:39:07,199 vaporized or froze 2549 01:39:12,629 --> 01:39:09,119 and only the 2550 01:39:14,149 --> 01:39:12,639 the solutes are left over 2551 01:39:16,149 --> 01:39:14,159 so to find out 2552 01:39:18,629 --> 01:39:16,159 i did some geochemical modeling trying 2553 01:39:20,470 --> 01:39:18,639 to react different starting compositions 2554 01:39:22,870 --> 01:39:20,480 of conjugate rock either ordinary 2555 01:39:25,030 --> 01:39:22,880 chondrites or cm chondrites 2556 01:39:27,590 --> 01:39:25,040 reacting with fluids 2557 01:39:30,149 --> 01:39:27,600 either pure water or cometary water like 2558 01:39:32,149 --> 01:39:30,159 cometary i mean um 2559 01:39:34,229 --> 01:39:32,159 water with a little bit of carbon and 2560 01:39:36,790 --> 01:39:34,239 nitrogen and sulfur compounds 2561 01:39:38,070 --> 01:39:36,800 that are seen in comic gases 2562 01:39:38,830 --> 01:39:38,080 and so i did this modeling with the 2563 01:39:41,430 --> 01:39:38,840 freak 2564 01:39:43,030 --> 01:39:41,440 software trying to 2565 01:39:45,030 --> 01:39:43,040 see at equilibrium what happens to these 2566 01:39:47,990 --> 01:39:45,040 mixtures at different temperatures 2567 01:39:49,270 --> 01:39:48,000 pressures and oil to rock ratios 2568 01:39:51,430 --> 01:39:49,280 so i'll just show you a couple of 2569 01:39:53,430 --> 01:39:51,440 results here 2570 01:39:56,629 --> 01:39:53,440 so first we're looking at an average 2571 01:39:59,750 --> 01:39:56,639 spectrum of series dark surface 2572 01:40:02,550 --> 01:39:59,760 and these little pie charts here are the 2573 01:40:04,870 --> 01:40:02,560 equilibrium mineral assemblages 2574 01:40:06,310 --> 01:40:04,880 for different pressures spanning the 2575 01:40:08,310 --> 01:40:06,320 interior series 2576 01:40:11,910 --> 01:40:08,320 to be halfway through the interior and 2577 01:40:13,830 --> 01:40:11,920 temperatures from zero to 200 kelvin 2578 01:40:16,229 --> 01:40:13,840 celsius 2579 01:40:17,030 --> 01:40:16,239 and the colors match the labels to the 2580 01:40:18,149 --> 01:40:17,040 right 2581 01:40:20,390 --> 01:40:18,159 so this 2582 01:40:22,390 --> 01:40:20,400 light blue here is serpentine 2583 01:40:24,310 --> 01:40:22,400 and you can see that 2584 01:40:26,390 --> 01:40:24,320 especially at cold conditions we 2585 01:40:27,990 --> 01:40:26,400 reproduce pretty well what's being 2586 01:40:30,310 --> 01:40:28,000 observed 2587 01:40:32,629 --> 01:40:30,320 by dawn at least qualitatively 2588 01:40:35,030 --> 01:40:32,639 the serpentines 2589 01:40:36,629 --> 01:40:35,040 the ammonium bearing clays which we see 2590 01:40:37,750 --> 01:40:36,639 only at low temperatures that seem to be 2591 01:40:40,709 --> 01:40:37,760 the result 2592 01:40:43,270 --> 01:40:40,719 of the substitution of potassium ions 2593 01:40:45,270 --> 01:40:43,280 which are leached into the fluid 2594 01:40:47,350 --> 01:40:45,280 and substituted for by 2595 01:40:48,709 --> 01:40:47,360 ammonium which either comes from the 2596 01:40:50,390 --> 01:40:48,719 fluid in 2597 01:40:52,229 --> 01:40:50,400 if the fluid is cometary and has 2598 01:40:55,510 --> 01:40:52,239 nitrogen at the beginning 2599 01:40:57,030 --> 01:40:55,520 or uh nitrogen from organics 2600 01:40:59,109 --> 01:40:57,040 if we start with the carbonaceous 2601 01:41:01,030 --> 01:40:59,119 chondrite compositions 2602 01:41:03,270 --> 01:41:01,040 we form also carbonates 2603 01:41:05,510 --> 01:41:03,280 in purple a little bit 2604 01:41:07,830 --> 01:41:05,520 as well as any of the possible dark 2605 01:41:09,830 --> 01:41:07,840 absorbers like organics magnetites 2606 01:41:11,830 --> 01:41:09,840 and sulfites 2607 01:41:13,510 --> 01:41:11,840 now what's really cool 2608 01:41:15,669 --> 01:41:13,520 is that the fluids in equilibrium with 2609 01:41:17,590 --> 01:41:15,679 these assemblages 2610 01:41:19,109 --> 01:41:17,600 also match what's being observed at the 2611 01:41:20,629 --> 01:41:19,119 bright spots 2612 01:41:23,910 --> 01:41:20,639 so you see 2613 01:41:25,189 --> 01:41:23,920 oxidized carbon the ph is about 10 to 12 2614 01:41:26,950 --> 01:41:25,199 in these fluids 2615 01:41:27,830 --> 01:41:26,960 at the mobile ph 2616 01:41:28,790 --> 01:41:27,840 and 2617 01:41:30,470 --> 01:41:28,800 so 2618 01:41:31,990 --> 01:41:30,480 we have a mixture of bicarbonate and 2619 01:41:34,229 --> 01:41:32,000 carbonate 2620 01:41:35,830 --> 01:41:34,239 sodium ions a little bit of 2621 01:41:38,070 --> 01:41:35,840 chloride ions 2622 01:41:40,709 --> 01:41:38,080 here 2623 01:41:42,470 --> 01:41:40,719 and what's not showing is this dark 2624 01:41:44,470 --> 01:41:42,480 compound here in the pie charts it 2625 01:41:46,790 --> 01:41:44,480 represents reduced carbon which is 2626 01:41:48,950 --> 01:41:46,800 mostly dissolved methane 2627 01:41:51,109 --> 01:41:48,960 and so there is no spectral evidence for 2628 01:41:52,629 --> 01:41:51,119 for methane at the surface however 2629 01:41:56,229 --> 01:41:52,639 there is some structural evidence some 2630 01:41:58,629 --> 01:41:56,239 series of methane clathrates which are 2631 01:42:00,629 --> 01:41:58,639 quite a low density and strong material 2632 01:42:02,070 --> 01:42:00,639 that would explain 2633 01:42:06,870 --> 01:42:02,080 the internal structure of series as 2634 01:42:11,270 --> 01:42:09,430 okay so i'm pretty much finished just to 2635 01:42:13,990 --> 01:42:11,280 give you a summary 2636 01:42:16,149 --> 01:42:14,000 we know from a meteorite carbonicious 2637 01:42:17,830 --> 01:42:16,159 contracts that sample some small bodies 2638 01:42:19,910 --> 01:42:17,840 beyond the snow line 2639 01:42:21,510 --> 01:42:19,920 that they contain with the serpentine so 2640 01:42:23,270 --> 01:42:21,520 they're evidence of pervasive 2641 01:42:24,390 --> 01:42:23,280 synchronization mostly 2642 01:42:27,350 --> 01:42:24,400 likely 2643 01:42:30,310 --> 01:42:27,360 early in the history of the solar system 2644 01:42:31,990 --> 01:42:30,320 um models uh predict that photorock 2645 01:42:33,270 --> 01:42:32,000 interaction took place in those small 2646 01:42:35,109 --> 01:42:33,280 bodies 2647 01:42:36,709 --> 01:42:35,119 anywhere between a few million years 2648 01:42:38,709 --> 01:42:36,719 after the formation of the solar system 2649 01:42:41,669 --> 01:42:38,719 to a few billion years and perhaps until 2650 01:42:44,390 --> 01:42:41,679 today and larger bodies 2651 01:42:47,430 --> 01:42:44,400 such as possibly ceres 2652 01:42:52,310 --> 01:42:49,510 and we know now that serious surface is 2653 01:42:54,550 --> 01:42:52,320 blanketed by spermice material 2654 01:42:56,550 --> 01:42:54,560 that the associated fluids are perhaps 2655 01:42:59,350 --> 01:42:56,560 expressed at the bright spots 2656 01:43:01,669 --> 01:42:59,360 and perhaps this is kind of tentative 2657 01:43:03,189 --> 01:43:01,679 that the alteration was called 2658 01:43:13,030 --> 01:43:03,199 and with that i'll take questions thank 2659 01:43:19,030 --> 01:43:16,790 so we have one question uh or elisa 2660 01:43:20,709 --> 01:43:19,040 castillo you were describing uh thermal 2661 01:43:22,470 --> 01:43:20,719 models 2662 01:43:23,590 --> 01:43:22,480 that are leaching materials she points 2663 01:43:25,990 --> 01:43:23,600 out that 2664 01:43:28,229 --> 01:43:26,000 displacing potassium could uh influence 2665 01:43:30,149 --> 01:43:28,239 the heating and cooling cycles i think 2666 01:43:33,990 --> 01:43:30,159 the the association there is the 2667 01:43:36,629 --> 01:43:34,000 potassium itself is radiogenic 2668 01:43:38,070 --> 01:43:36,639 yeah that's right yeah 2669 01:43:40,870 --> 01:43:38,080 i don't usually if you'll cover this in 2670 01:43:43,750 --> 01:43:40,880 your pop-up top but um 2671 01:43:45,189 --> 01:43:43,760 the idea that you would displace the 2672 01:43:47,669 --> 01:43:45,199 the heat source potassium being one of 2673 01:43:49,910 --> 01:43:47,679 the radionuclides long-lasting implants 2674 01:43:51,750 --> 01:43:49,920 from the rock which is what's commonly 2675 01:43:52,950 --> 01:43:51,760 assumed into the ocean 2676 01:43:54,310 --> 01:43:52,960 and so you might be able to generate 2677 01:43:56,229 --> 01:43:54,320 heat directly into the ocean and that 2678 01:43:57,510 --> 01:43:56,239 changes a little bit 2679 01:44:02,790 --> 01:43:57,520 how the 2680 01:44:07,030 --> 01:44:04,709 and uh thanks thanks so much for your 2681 01:44:09,189 --> 01:44:07,040 overview of chondrites at the beginning 2682 01:44:11,350 --> 01:44:09,199 uh 2683 01:44:13,669 --> 01:44:11,360 early serpentinization those carbonites 2684 01:44:18,709 --> 01:44:13,679 um 2685 01:44:20,470 --> 01:44:18,719 the so you know we we hit upon this in 2686 01:44:23,270 --> 01:44:20,480 other discussion of other talks that 2687 01:44:24,390 --> 01:44:23,280 those are the feedstock presumably of 2688 01:44:26,550 --> 01:44:24,400 all of the 2689 01:44:27,990 --> 01:44:26,560 outer solar system bodies and possibly 2690 01:44:29,270 --> 01:44:28,000 also inform 2691 01:44:31,430 --> 01:44:29,280 the composition of the terrestrial 2692 01:44:33,590 --> 01:44:31,440 planets 2693 01:44:35,270 --> 01:44:33,600 do your models predict that ceres would 2694 01:44:38,629 --> 01:44:35,280 have become anhydrous due to early 2695 01:44:42,550 --> 01:44:40,470 uh they don't they degrade that it would 2696 01:44:43,990 --> 01:44:42,560 stay once it becomes hydrated it stays 2697 01:44:45,910 --> 01:44:44,000 hydrated 2698 01:44:48,870 --> 01:44:45,920 but just to touch on the 2699 01:44:49,750 --> 01:44:48,880 on conduit as building blocks of planets 2700 01:44:51,350 --> 01:44:49,760 um 2701 01:44:52,950 --> 01:44:51,360 i think it's it's a great question 2702 01:44:55,510 --> 01:44:52,960 though we don't 2703 01:44:58,070 --> 01:44:55,520 know for sure if the building block was 2704 01:45:00,390 --> 01:44:58,080 uh the dunglass were 2705 01:45:02,870 --> 01:45:00,400 uh contradict in composition for example 2706 01:45:04,709 --> 01:45:02,880 on enceladus everything 2707 01:45:06,470 --> 01:45:04,719 looks more silica rich and 2708 01:45:09,430 --> 01:45:06,480 magnesium-rich 2709 01:45:13,750 --> 01:45:11,510 more than congoing contradicts 2710 01:45:15,109 --> 01:45:13,760 and so 2711 01:45:16,390 --> 01:45:15,119 maybe the sorry material differs a 2712 01:45:18,229 --> 01:45:16,400 little bit for series though it looks 2713 01:45:19,590 --> 01:45:18,239 like you can reproduce the current 2714 01:45:21,430 --> 01:45:19,600 composition really well with starting 2715 01:45:23,109 --> 01:45:21,440 with with contrast so 2716 01:45:25,189 --> 01:45:23,119 not a bad assumption but 2717 01:45:28,830 --> 01:45:25,199 so just a word of caution here 2718 01:45:30,790 --> 01:45:28,840 yeah so it's um it seems like 2719 01:45:33,270 --> 01:45:30,800 a we 2720 01:45:35,590 --> 01:45:33,280 that much of the material that formed 2721 01:45:38,550 --> 01:45:35,600 ceres was serpentinized prior to series 2722 01:45:42,870 --> 01:45:40,470 would be interesting how to 2723 01:45:44,790 --> 01:45:42,880 prove or disprove that 2724 01:45:46,870 --> 01:45:44,800 yeah yeah 2725 01:45:48,790 --> 01:45:46,880 again we've we've tried um different 2726 01:45:51,430 --> 01:45:48,800 starting compositions either already 2727 01:45:52,229 --> 01:45:51,440 synchronized or not yet synchronized 2728 01:45:53,910 --> 01:45:52,239 and 2729 01:45:56,470 --> 01:45:53,920 you get pretty similar results either 2730 01:45:59,030 --> 01:45:56,480 way just because the the models are 2731 01:46:00,070 --> 01:45:59,040 equilibrium models and sort of 2732 01:46:01,669 --> 01:46:00,080 you know you're just getting the 2733 01:46:03,830 --> 01:46:01,679 thermodynamic uh 2734 01:46:05,510 --> 01:46:03,840 equilibrium goes all the way 2735 01:46:07,590 --> 01:46:05,520 um 2736 01:46:09,510 --> 01:46:07,600 but maybe there were kinetic barriers to 2737 01:46:11,270 --> 01:46:09,520 certain to the reactions for the 2738 01:46:15,669 --> 01:46:11,280 direction species so 2739 01:46:15,679 --> 01:46:20,310 question are sulfates found on ceres 2740 01:46:24,070 --> 01:46:21,910 no not as 2741 01:46:26,470 --> 01:46:24,080 not as far as i know neither sulfates 2742 01:46:28,790 --> 01:46:26,480 nor sulfides actually do you have any 2743 01:46:31,189 --> 01:46:28,800 ideas about why sulfates are so 2744 01:46:34,310 --> 01:46:31,199 prevalent in cm and ci chondrites but 2745 01:46:36,070 --> 01:46:34,320 they may not be at series 2746 01:46:38,390 --> 01:46:36,080 um well julia i might want to chime in 2747 01:46:40,629 --> 01:46:38,400 on this i believe 2748 01:46:41,990 --> 01:46:40,639 that there has been a 2749 01:46:44,790 --> 01:46:42,000 heated debate 2750 01:46:46,229 --> 01:46:44,800 as to whether the sulfates are um 2751 01:46:48,149 --> 01:46:46,239 where their pre 2752 01:46:49,270 --> 01:46:48,159 impact on earth or if they're the 2753 01:46:51,750 --> 01:46:49,280 results 2754 01:46:55,430 --> 01:46:51,760 of alteration after the falls 2755 01:46:57,990 --> 01:46:55,440 um but i'm not an expert on this so 2756 01:46:59,830 --> 01:46:58,000 yeah i can call this if you want a 2757 01:47:04,390 --> 01:46:59,840 regarding the detection of cell phase 2758 01:47:06,629 --> 01:47:04,400 some serious uh there's an ongoing study 2759 01:47:08,470 --> 01:47:06,639 that is trying to put um a detection 2760 01:47:11,350 --> 01:47:08,480 limit on sulfate 2761 01:47:14,709 --> 01:47:11,360 and if they are present they are 2762 01:47:16,310 --> 01:47:14,719 an extremely small abundance 2763 01:47:18,310 --> 01:47:16,320 and as mark 2764 01:47:21,669 --> 01:47:18,320 noted i mean it's more likely that we 2765 01:47:23,750 --> 01:47:21,679 have a 2766 01:47:25,669 --> 01:47:23,760 uh in terms of the sulfates in the 2767 01:47:28,310 --> 01:47:25,679 theories uh 2768 01:47:29,430 --> 01:47:28,320 also i mean i agree with mark here the 2769 01:47:32,629 --> 01:47:29,440 debate is 2770 01:47:35,270 --> 01:47:32,639 whether the substrates were already 2771 01:47:37,270 --> 01:47:35,280 formed on the town body or on earth and 2772 01:47:39,189 --> 01:47:37,280 magdalene key 2773 01:47:41,669 --> 01:47:39,199 actually showed that even if you 2774 01:47:44,629 --> 01:47:41,679 preserve 2775 01:47:47,189 --> 01:47:44,639 either rise very well under 2776 01:47:48,870 --> 01:47:47,199 the nitrogen curve and so on even in 2777 01:47:52,310 --> 01:47:48,880 this condition 2778 01:47:54,470 --> 01:47:52,320 um a little bit of oxygen 2779 01:47:55,750 --> 01:47:54,480 makes it very easy to turn sulfide into 2780 01:47:56,709 --> 01:47:55,760 sulfate 2781 01:47:58,870 --> 01:47:56,719 in 2782 01:48:00,310 --> 01:47:58,880 meteorites 2783 01:48:01,669 --> 01:48:00,320 so it's it's most likely that you 2784 01:48:05,350 --> 01:48:01,679 calculate our 2785 01:48:08,310 --> 01:48:06,310 yeah thanks for making that 2786 01:48:10,709 --> 01:48:08,320 clarification i i cited this paper by 2787 01:48:13,109 --> 01:48:10,719 mckinnon zielinski uh 2788 01:48:15,669 --> 01:48:13,119 in my introduction uh they spent a lot 2789 01:48:18,550 --> 01:48:15,679 of that paper um 2790 01:48:20,550 --> 01:48:18,560 pointing out some of the uncertain 2791 01:48:23,350 --> 01:48:20,560 or assumptions of salinities in 2792 01:48:25,510 --> 01:48:23,360 different uh extraterrestrial oceans uh 2793 01:48:27,430 --> 01:48:25,520 and that point about uh terrestrial 2794 01:48:29,270 --> 01:48:27,440 origin of sulfates is a really critical 2795 01:48:32,550 --> 01:48:29,280 one 2796 01:48:34,149 --> 01:48:32,560 yeah and there is a paper and zolensky 2797 01:48:36,870 --> 01:48:34,159 2001 2798 01:48:39,590 --> 01:48:36,880 that looks uh at this question that's 2799 01:48:40,870 --> 01:48:39,600 already focused on uh cica meteoritism 2800 01:48:42,790 --> 01:48:40,880 and 2801 01:48:49,030 --> 01:48:42,800 i think they make a firm demonstration 2802 01:48:53,590 --> 01:48:51,189 great thanks uh well with that let's 2803 01:48:56,310 --> 01:48:53,600 let's trend let's thank mark again 2804 01:49:06,870 --> 01:48:56,320 we'll transition to our next talk uh the 2805 01:49:09,590 --> 01:49:08,229 sorry about that um it looks like your 2806 01:49:11,750 --> 01:49:09,600 webcam's uh 2807 01:49:13,750 --> 01:49:11,760 black right now if you want to uh double 2808 01:49:15,109 --> 01:49:13,760 check if the right device 2809 01:49:16,550 --> 01:49:15,119 in the upper right hand corner of the 2810 01:49:18,629 --> 01:49:16,560 video pod there's a little drop down 2811 01:49:19,750 --> 01:49:18,639 menu and there's an option to select 2812 01:49:24,229 --> 01:49:19,760 camera 2813 01:49:30,470 --> 01:49:28,390 all right trying that again now 2814 01:49:48,870 --> 01:49:30,480 okay if it doesn't fix itself quickly 2815 01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:53,189 i can certify that chris is not a robot 2816 01:49:53,199 --> 01:49:58,709 thank you steve 2817 01:50:01,109 --> 01:49:59,910 okay chris i want to take away from your 2818 01:50:03,030 --> 01:50:01,119 presentation times why don't you go 2819 01:50:03,990 --> 01:50:03,040 ahead and just uh get started we'll all 2820 01:50:07,669 --> 01:50:04,000 imagine 2821 01:50:09,750 --> 01:50:07,679 me waving my hands around 2822 01:50:11,669 --> 01:50:09,760 okay well uh thanks steve for inviting 2823 01:50:13,510 --> 01:50:11,679 me and everyone for tuning in to the 2824 01:50:15,669 --> 01:50:13,520 very end some of you may be 2825 01:50:17,350 --> 01:50:15,679 spilling over into lunch right now 2826 01:50:19,750 --> 01:50:17,360 uh so i'm really pleased that we've kind 2827 01:50:22,149 --> 01:50:19,760 of marauded our way all across the solar 2828 01:50:24,149 --> 01:50:22,159 system it's been pretty impressive and 2829 01:50:26,790 --> 01:50:24,159 now for the final talk i thought we'd 2830 01:50:29,030 --> 01:50:26,800 return back to saturn where we have a 2831 01:50:31,669 --> 01:50:29,040 bunch of data that can help to inform us 2832 01:50:33,510 --> 01:50:31,679 about the geochemistry of saturn's moon 2833 01:50:35,589 --> 01:50:33,520 enceladus so that's what i'll be 2834 01:50:41,430 --> 01:50:35,599 discussing in some detail for this 2835 01:50:49,589 --> 01:50:43,109 uh 2836 01:50:54,550 --> 01:50:52,950 is the arrow at the bottom oh yeah they 2837 01:50:56,229 --> 01:50:54,560 see it 2838 01:50:57,990 --> 01:50:56,239 all right 2839 01:50:59,990 --> 01:50:58,000 right so steve started off this session 2840 01:51:02,550 --> 01:51:00,000 with europa so it's sort of fitting that 2841 01:51:04,070 --> 01:51:02,560 we first talked about europe but uh for 2842 01:51:06,390 --> 01:51:04,080 many of you you're probably aware that 2843 01:51:07,669 --> 01:51:06,400 nasa is starting this new initiative 2844 01:51:09,350 --> 01:51:07,679 of a program 2845 01:51:11,830 --> 01:51:09,360 studying ocean worlds of the solar 2846 01:51:14,149 --> 01:51:11,840 system and europa is the the most 2847 01:51:15,990 --> 01:51:14,159 obvious example that everyone has had in 2848 01:51:17,990 --> 01:51:16,000 their heads for the past 2849 01:51:20,629 --> 01:51:18,000 20 years or so since galileo found 2850 01:51:23,189 --> 01:51:20,639 evidence for a subsurface ocean 2851 01:51:25,350 --> 01:51:23,199 but now a new kid 2852 01:51:27,030 --> 01:51:25,360 has come onto the block 2853 01:51:29,270 --> 01:51:27,040 enceladus and now we're also talking 2854 01:51:30,470 --> 01:51:29,280 about ocean worlds across the solar 2855 01:51:32,950 --> 01:51:30,480 system 2856 01:51:34,390 --> 01:51:32,960 and whatever i sort of describe to my 2857 01:51:37,030 --> 01:51:34,400 friends or family 2858 01:51:39,830 --> 01:51:37,040 enceladus it's it's always kind of a 2859 01:51:41,510 --> 01:51:39,840 mystery to them what enceladus might be 2860 01:51:44,070 --> 01:51:41,520 so this is something that many of my 2861 01:51:45,750 --> 01:51:44,080 family members in san diego often think 2862 01:51:48,470 --> 01:51:45,760 about when i tell them about enceladus 2863 01:51:53,270 --> 01:51:48,480 as some kind of tasty meal which is kind 2864 01:51:56,709 --> 01:51:54,390 and so 2865 01:51:57,750 --> 01:51:56,719 kind of as you know in the 2010s as 2866 01:52:00,149 --> 01:51:57,760 we're getting close to the end of the 2867 01:52:02,390 --> 01:52:00,159 decade we basically had four 2868 01:52:03,990 --> 01:52:02,400 worlds emerge besides the earth 2869 01:52:05,189 --> 01:52:04,000 which are thought to be the key 2870 01:52:07,350 --> 01:52:05,199 candidates 2871 01:52:09,109 --> 01:52:07,360 for searching for extraterrestrial life 2872 01:52:11,430 --> 01:52:09,119 in the solar system as many of you are 2873 01:52:13,669 --> 01:52:11,440 aware there's been intense exploration 2874 01:52:15,510 --> 01:52:13,679 of the planet mars and mars is very 2875 01:52:18,310 --> 01:52:15,520 similar to the earth in terms of being a 2876 01:52:20,790 --> 01:52:18,320 terrestrial planet lots of dry land and 2877 01:52:22,470 --> 01:52:20,800 some evidence of water related features 2878 01:52:25,109 --> 01:52:22,480 and then in the outer solar system three 2879 01:52:28,229 --> 01:52:25,119 bodies have emerged as the superstars if 2880 01:52:30,310 --> 01:52:28,239 you will europa as i mentioned enceladus 2881 01:52:32,790 --> 01:52:30,320 and then kristoff in the second talk of 2882 01:52:35,430 --> 01:52:32,800 the session discuss titans so these are 2883 01:52:38,149 --> 01:52:35,440 really the key objects of focus and nasa 2884 01:52:40,790 --> 01:52:38,159 is recognizing this we have the europa 2885 01:52:43,189 --> 01:52:40,800 uh flagship mission to launch later next 2886 01:52:45,750 --> 01:52:43,199 decade and then there's calls for 2887 01:52:48,149 --> 01:52:45,760 competitions to send missions to either 2888 01:52:51,910 --> 01:52:48,159 enceladus or titan in the next decade as 2889 01:52:55,830 --> 01:52:54,070 we're just getting near the end it 2890 01:52:57,910 --> 01:52:55,840 breaks my heart to say it but we're 2891 01:52:58,950 --> 01:52:57,920 almost to the end of the cassini-huygens 2892 01:53:01,350 --> 01:52:58,960 era 2893 01:53:02,229 --> 01:53:01,360 so the image on the left shows probably 2894 01:53:15,750 --> 01:53:02,239 the 2895 01:53:17,990 --> 01:53:15,760 interesting um 2896 01:53:20,229 --> 01:53:18,000 recent geological activity might be 2897 01:53:22,390 --> 01:53:20,239 occurring and at that time recent was 2898 01:53:24,950 --> 01:53:22,400 thought to maybe be something like in 2899 01:53:26,709 --> 01:53:24,960 the past several hundred million years 2900 01:53:28,629 --> 01:53:26,719 and you can see sort of at the the 2901 01:53:31,189 --> 01:53:28,639 bottom right hand corner of that 2902 01:53:33,270 --> 01:53:31,199 left-hand image 2903 01:53:34,709 --> 01:53:33,280 there it's kind of a smooth surface it 2904 01:53:36,870 --> 01:53:34,719 looks different from 2905 01:53:39,030 --> 01:53:36,880 a lot of the moons of the solar system 2906 01:53:40,709 --> 01:53:39,040 like our moon which are very heavily 2907 01:53:46,870 --> 01:53:40,719 cratered and battered 2908 01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:52,950 whoops 2909 01:53:58,550 --> 01:53:54,790 sorry to pause for a second it looks 2910 01:54:02,390 --> 01:54:00,149 no worries chris i'm getting you back on 2911 01:54:03,669 --> 01:54:02,400 as a presenter and you should be good to 2912 01:54:05,220 --> 01:54:03,679 go 2913 01:54:11,910 --> 01:54:05,230 thanks 2914 01:54:15,589 --> 01:54:13,750 okay thank you very much and so the 2915 01:54:18,149 --> 01:54:15,599 right hand image shows now what our 2916 01:54:19,990 --> 01:54:18,159 perspective has become with the cassini 2917 01:54:21,990 --> 01:54:20,000 huygens mission the cassini spacecraft 2918 01:54:23,589 --> 01:54:22,000 has flown by enceladus many times and 2919 01:54:26,550 --> 01:54:23,599 these are some of the highest resolution 2920 01:54:28,790 --> 01:54:26,560 images of a very interesting part of 2921 01:54:31,270 --> 01:54:28,800 enceladus at the south polar region 2922 01:54:33,270 --> 01:54:31,280 which i'll show in the next slide oops i 2923 01:54:35,270 --> 01:54:33,280 mean two slides from now so this light 2924 01:54:37,910 --> 01:54:35,280 here basically just summarizes the whole 2925 01:54:40,870 --> 01:54:37,920 cassini orbital tour of the saturn 2926 01:54:44,550 --> 01:54:40,880 system so the saturn insertion was in 2927 01:54:47,510 --> 01:54:44,560 2004 the launch was in 1997 got there in 2928 01:54:50,149 --> 01:54:47,520 2004 and you can see these 2929 01:54:52,550 --> 01:54:50,159 top images of the orange ball are all 2930 01:54:54,709 --> 01:54:52,560 the flybys of titan which have been a 2931 01:54:55,589 --> 01:54:54,719 very heavily heavy point of emphasis for 2932 01:55:01,910 --> 01:54:55,599 the 2933 01:55:04,870 --> 01:55:01,920 so we've been privileged to have 23 2934 01:55:07,030 --> 01:55:04,880 relatively close flybys of enceladus 2935 01:55:09,669 --> 01:55:07,040 that range anywhere from about 50 2936 01:55:12,470 --> 01:55:09,679 kilometers at closest approach to 2937 01:55:14,310 --> 01:55:12,480 several thousand kilometers away 2938 01:55:16,550 --> 01:55:14,320 so the the earliest flybys where a lot 2939 01:55:18,390 --> 01:55:16,560 of key discoveries were made what were 2940 01:55:20,310 --> 01:55:18,400 in 2005 2941 01:55:22,470 --> 01:55:20,320 and we had we had a sort of a brief 2942 01:55:24,310 --> 01:55:22,480 hiatus then a series of intense 2943 01:55:26,709 --> 01:55:24,320 exploration sort of in the middle of the 2944 01:55:30,229 --> 01:55:26,719 tour and then our final flybys of 2945 01:55:34,229 --> 01:55:30,239 enceladus were in 2015 we had a close 2946 01:55:37,350 --> 01:55:34,239 e21 flyby in october and then the final 2947 01:55:40,470 --> 01:55:37,360 further fly by the e23 flyby was in 2948 01:55:41,270 --> 01:55:40,480 december of 2015. so that's it for our 2949 01:55:43,910 --> 01:55:41,280 um 2950 01:55:45,510 --> 01:55:43,920 cassini observations of enceladus we're 2951 01:55:47,430 --> 01:55:45,520 now gearing up for the end of the 2952 01:55:50,790 --> 01:55:47,440 cassini mission you can see these 2953 01:55:52,870 --> 01:55:50,800 for 2017 all these saturn images shown 2954 01:55:54,709 --> 01:55:52,880 on the slide which indicate that we're 2955 01:55:56,790 --> 01:55:54,719 transitioning into the proximal phase of 2956 01:55:58,709 --> 01:55:56,800 the mission where the spacecraft is 2957 01:56:01,109 --> 01:55:58,719 going to be disposed of a 2958 01:56:02,470 --> 01:56:01,119 fiery crash or burn up into saturn's 2959 01:56:06,550 --> 01:56:02,480 atmosphere so that should be kind of 2960 01:56:09,750 --> 01:56:08,310 so here's just a close-up image of 2961 01:56:12,550 --> 01:56:09,760 enceladus 2962 01:56:15,030 --> 01:56:12,560 kind of improving upon the voyager 2 2963 01:56:16,629 --> 01:56:15,040 flyby and i just want to show you so 2964 01:56:18,550 --> 01:56:16,639 there's you can see this feature i've 2965 01:56:20,790 --> 01:56:18,560 outlined here called the tiger stripes 2966 01:56:21,830 --> 01:56:20,800 that's a those are features of intense 2967 01:56:23,750 --> 01:56:21,840 interest 2968 01:56:25,189 --> 01:56:23,760 and whenever i talk to 2969 01:56:27,109 --> 01:56:25,199 friends or family or other colleagues 2970 01:56:30,070 --> 01:56:27,119 about enceladus the way i like to refer 2971 01:56:31,589 --> 01:56:30,080 to enceladus is as the harvey dent of 2972 01:56:34,790 --> 01:56:31,599 the solar system where you kind of have 2973 01:56:38,149 --> 01:56:34,800 this two-faced perspective of a very 2974 01:56:40,470 --> 01:56:38,159 heavily cratered ancient uh equatorial 2975 01:56:42,709 --> 01:56:40,480 or or mid-latitudes 2976 01:56:44,229 --> 01:56:42,719 and then you have very young terrains in 2977 01:56:46,310 --> 01:56:44,239 the south pole so this image has been 2978 01:56:48,790 --> 01:56:46,320 flipped on its side and these tiger 2979 01:56:52,149 --> 01:56:48,800 stripe features are found on the south 2980 01:56:56,870 --> 01:56:54,950 one of the early discoveries was by the 2981 01:56:59,109 --> 01:56:56,880 cassini sears instrument so this this 2982 01:57:00,229 --> 01:56:59,119 instrument measures thermal infrared 2983 01:57:02,550 --> 01:57:00,239 emission 2984 01:57:05,430 --> 01:57:02,560 and the equilibrium surface temperature 2985 01:57:07,750 --> 01:57:05,440 of bodies at saturn with cold ice 2986 01:57:08,870 --> 01:57:07,760 is around 75 kelvin 2987 01:57:10,550 --> 01:57:08,880 and so you can see some of the 2988 01:57:12,629 --> 01:57:10,560 surrounding terrains in the southport 2989 01:57:15,350 --> 01:57:12,639 region around 75 80 2990 01:57:16,790 --> 01:57:15,360 80k but then these tiger stripe features 2991 01:57:21,189 --> 01:57:16,800 which are 2992 01:57:23,030 --> 01:57:21,199 show very high excess thermal emission 2993 01:57:25,430 --> 01:57:23,040 with temperatures black body 2994 01:57:26,950 --> 01:57:25,440 temperatures of around 200 kelvin so 2995 01:57:29,830 --> 01:57:26,960 that was kind of a clue that something 2996 01:57:36,390 --> 01:57:29,840 very bizarre as far as the solar system 2997 01:57:40,550 --> 01:57:38,790 and in 2005 we indeed found what could 2998 01:57:41,750 --> 01:57:40,560 be considered the biggest discovery of 2999 01:57:44,390 --> 01:57:41,760 cassini i know there's been a lot of 3000 01:57:46,149 --> 01:57:44,400 great science at saturn and titan in 3001 01:57:47,830 --> 01:57:46,159 particular but one of the most 3002 01:57:50,390 --> 01:57:47,840 surprising findings was that there are 3003 01:57:52,790 --> 01:57:50,400 active cryovolcanic eruptions of 3004 01:57:55,589 --> 01:57:52,800 material that are happening right now at 3005 01:57:59,109 --> 01:57:55,599 enceladus and have been ongoing since 3006 01:58:00,790 --> 01:57:59,119 2005 and probably earlier 3007 01:58:02,629 --> 01:58:00,800 and so you just see this smattering of 3008 01:58:04,709 --> 01:58:02,639 images here where we called this feature 3009 01:58:07,510 --> 01:58:04,719 is called the plume and the plume is 3010 01:58:09,830 --> 01:58:07,520 actually comprised of over a hundred 3011 01:58:12,149 --> 01:58:09,840 geysering jets that are feeding material 3012 01:58:15,109 --> 01:58:12,159 from enceladus interior war material 3013 01:58:16,790 --> 01:58:15,119 that to form this plume feature and in 3014 01:58:17,669 --> 01:58:16,800 the right hand image you can see just 3015 01:58:20,149 --> 01:58:17,679 how 3016 01:58:21,830 --> 01:58:20,159 large this plume is in comparison to 3017 01:58:24,629 --> 01:58:21,840 enceladus as a whole the 3018 01:58:27,270 --> 01:58:24,639 low gravity really helps to accentuate 3019 01:58:28,950 --> 01:58:27,280 how far this material can shoot out from 3020 01:58:34,550 --> 01:58:28,960 enceladus 3021 01:58:36,470 --> 01:58:34,560 place as the smallest geologically 3022 01:58:41,189 --> 01:58:36,480 active body that we have evidence in the 3023 01:58:45,109 --> 01:58:43,350 and it really joins an exclusive club so 3024 01:58:48,709 --> 01:58:45,119 most of the bodies are kind of like our 3025 01:58:51,030 --> 01:58:48,719 moon that are sort of dead or very 3026 01:58:52,390 --> 01:58:51,040 have very feeble levels of activity but 3027 01:58:54,870 --> 01:58:52,400 enceladus joined this club where we 3028 01:58:56,709 --> 01:58:54,880 found active volcanism today so you kind 3029 01:58:58,870 --> 01:58:56,719 of have the earth we're aware of 3030 01:59:01,189 --> 01:58:58,880 silicate volcanism where silicate 3031 01:59:02,470 --> 01:59:01,199 minerals are being melted and erupting 3032 01:59:03,910 --> 01:59:02,480 onto the surface 3033 01:59:05,510 --> 01:59:03,920 and then when you move out to the outer 3034 01:59:07,589 --> 01:59:05,520 solar system mark mentioned you have the 3035 01:59:10,950 --> 01:59:07,599 snow line so that's really the domain of 3036 01:59:12,629 --> 01:59:10,960 ices that dominate as surface materials 3037 01:59:14,790 --> 01:59:12,639 on these types of bodies 3038 01:59:17,669 --> 01:59:14,800 and so we call it cryovolcanism for this 3039 01:59:20,550 --> 01:59:17,679 cold variety of extrude extrusion of 3040 01:59:23,109 --> 01:59:20,560 materials we previously had evidence at 3041 01:59:26,310 --> 01:59:23,119 neptune's moon triton for eruptions of 3042 01:59:29,270 --> 01:59:26,320 nitrogen n2 material and now enceladus 3043 01:59:33,589 --> 01:59:29,280 provides us with an example of h2o based 3044 01:59:37,589 --> 01:59:35,510 i won't go into too many details but 3045 01:59:39,990 --> 01:59:37,599 from the past 10 years or so this slide 3046 01:59:42,390 --> 01:59:40,000 basically summarizes in a cartoon form 3047 01:59:45,589 --> 01:59:42,400 what the emerging paradigm is becoming 3048 01:59:48,709 --> 01:59:45,599 for what is sourcing this pluma material 3049 01:59:50,550 --> 01:59:48,719 and what the nature of the subsurface 3050 01:59:52,390 --> 01:59:50,560 might look like on enceladus from 3051 01:59:54,550 --> 01:59:52,400 different lines of evidence involving 3052 01:59:56,629 --> 01:59:54,560 gravitational measurements like kristoff 3053 01:59:58,709 --> 01:59:56,639 mentioned compositional measurements 3054 01:59:59,589 --> 01:59:58,719 different plume modeling 3055 02:00:02,149 --> 01:59:59,599 type 3056 02:00:04,790 --> 02:00:02,159 studies so what we think we have here is 3057 02:00:06,470 --> 02:00:04,800 a rocky core of material 3058 02:00:09,350 --> 02:00:06,480 it's probably porous as christoph 3059 02:00:11,430 --> 02:00:09,360 mentioned overlaid by an ocean of liquid 3060 02:00:13,750 --> 02:00:11,440 water and then there's this still very 3061 02:00:15,270 --> 02:00:13,760 poorly understood plumbing system where 3062 02:00:17,109 --> 02:00:15,280 there are different cracks and other 3063 02:00:19,910 --> 02:00:17,119 features like that which are presumably 3064 02:00:23,270 --> 02:00:19,920 formed by tectonic stresses which are 3065 02:00:24,870 --> 02:00:23,280 serving as conduits for ocean water to 3066 02:00:27,430 --> 02:00:24,880 get close to the surface where it can 3067 02:00:29,430 --> 02:00:27,440 subsequently erupt as these geysers that 3068 02:00:31,350 --> 02:00:29,440 form the plume and then we have the 3069 02:00:33,430 --> 02:00:31,360 cassini spacecraft performing 3070 02:00:37,270 --> 02:00:33,440 fly-throughs of this plume and sampling 3071 02:00:40,950 --> 02:00:38,709 so i'd like to just discuss and 3072 02:00:43,109 --> 02:00:40,960 basically review what we think we know 3073 02:00:44,310 --> 02:00:43,119 about the composition of the ocean on 3074 02:00:46,149 --> 02:00:44,320 enceladus because there were some 3075 02:00:48,310 --> 02:00:46,159 questions earlier about what's the 3076 02:00:50,550 --> 02:00:48,320 chemistry of this stuff and we think we 3077 02:00:53,189 --> 02:00:50,560 have a pretty good idea at least a high 3078 02:00:55,669 --> 02:00:53,199 order level what the chemistry is so one 3079 02:00:59,430 --> 02:00:55,679 instrument on cassini is known as the 3080 02:01:01,830 --> 02:00:59,440 cosmic dust analyzer abbreviated as cda 3081 02:01:04,550 --> 02:01:01,840 and this is an impact ionization mass 3082 02:01:07,030 --> 02:01:04,560 spectrometer so what happens is the 3083 02:01:09,189 --> 02:01:07,040 spacecraft flies through the plume at 3084 02:01:11,669 --> 02:01:09,199 anywhere from about 8 to 20 kilometers 3085 02:01:13,030 --> 02:01:11,679 per second and the ice grains that are 3086 02:01:15,430 --> 02:01:13,040 in the plume 3087 02:01:18,149 --> 02:01:15,440 impact onto a plate and some of the 3088 02:01:19,589 --> 02:01:18,159 different molecules and ions in the um 3089 02:01:22,229 --> 02:01:19,599 flu material 3090 02:01:24,470 --> 02:01:22,239 are ionized and then detected by this 3091 02:01:26,629 --> 02:01:24,480 mass spectrometer on this instrument so 3092 02:01:28,310 --> 02:01:26,639 what this shows is this shows an example 3093 02:01:30,709 --> 02:01:28,320 of the mass spectra that are acquired 3094 02:01:32,229 --> 02:01:30,719 from that sampling process 3095 02:01:35,189 --> 02:01:32,239 and look for those of you in chemistry 3096 02:01:36,390 --> 02:01:35,199 it looks kind of similar to electrospray 3097 02:01:38,149 --> 02:01:36,400 ionization 3098 02:01:41,270 --> 02:01:38,159 where you see kind of like the dominant 3099 02:01:43,910 --> 02:01:41,280 ionic peaks of just single elements like 3100 02:01:46,790 --> 02:01:43,920 sodium plus or potassium plus as 3101 02:01:49,270 --> 02:01:46,800 prominent features and then you have a 3102 02:01:51,669 --> 02:01:49,280 bewildering array of different types of 3103 02:01:53,910 --> 02:01:51,679 combinations you can have between the 3104 02:01:59,270 --> 02:01:53,920 cations and different anions that might 3105 02:02:03,030 --> 02:02:00,629 and the second instrument we have on 3106 02:02:05,270 --> 02:02:03,040 cassini is the inn neutral mass 3107 02:02:07,510 --> 02:02:05,280 spectrometer or inms 3108 02:02:08,229 --> 02:02:07,520 and this instrument basically sniffs out 3109 02:02:12,149 --> 02:02:08,239 the 3110 02:02:14,550 --> 02:02:12,159 gas to give us an understanding of what 3111 02:02:16,870 --> 02:02:14,560 its composition might be like so 3112 02:02:19,430 --> 02:02:16,880 this spectrum shown here is just taking 3113 02:02:20,709 --> 02:02:19,440 in the plume gas in mass 3114 02:02:22,550 --> 02:02:20,719 and then 3115 02:02:24,950 --> 02:02:22,560 observing all the different mass peaks 3116 02:02:26,629 --> 02:02:24,960 that you can find and then we've been 3117 02:02:28,709 --> 02:02:26,639 able to model the spectrum so you can 3118 02:02:30,790 --> 02:02:28,719 kind of think of the model as unbaking 3119 02:02:32,310 --> 02:02:30,800 the cake where we have just everything 3120 02:02:34,470 --> 02:02:32,320 coming into the mass spectrometer at 3121 02:02:37,189 --> 02:02:34,480 once and we're trying to attribute these 3122 02:02:39,270 --> 02:02:37,199 different mass signatures to individual 3123 02:02:41,189 --> 02:02:39,280 species or the fragments of these 3124 02:02:43,830 --> 02:02:41,199 species that are produced during 3125 02:02:45,750 --> 02:02:43,840 electron impact ionization and the color 3126 02:02:47,430 --> 02:02:45,760 scheme basically shows the different 3127 02:02:49,669 --> 02:02:47,440 peaks or fragments that are attributed 3128 02:02:51,830 --> 02:02:49,679 to different molecules so you can see 3129 02:02:53,510 --> 02:02:51,840 that the dominant species is in blue so 3130 02:02:55,589 --> 02:02:53,520 that's water vapor 3131 02:02:57,510 --> 02:02:55,599 and there are other more minor species 3132 02:03:00,229 --> 02:02:57,520 like methane ammonia 3133 02:03:02,470 --> 02:03:00,239 co2 and then at higher masses we think 3134 02:03:04,790 --> 02:03:02,480 we see evidence of organic signatures 3135 02:03:06,950 --> 02:03:04,800 just simple hydrocarbons which we're 3136 02:03:09,030 --> 02:03:06,960 thinking are fragments potentially of 3137 02:03:11,990 --> 02:03:09,040 larger organic structures 3138 02:03:16,390 --> 02:03:13,990 and this slide here basically summarizes 3139 02:03:18,790 --> 02:03:16,400 at a quantitative level what we think 3140 02:03:20,870 --> 02:03:18,800 that the cda and inemis data are 3141 02:03:23,270 --> 02:03:20,880 revealing or constraining about the 3142 02:03:25,589 --> 02:03:23,280 composition of enceladus's ocean so 3143 02:03:26,790 --> 02:03:25,599 these pluton particles are not as as you 3144 02:03:29,189 --> 02:03:26,800 could see from the previous mass 3145 02:03:31,350 --> 02:03:29,199 spectrum they're not pure water ice it 3146 02:03:34,950 --> 02:03:31,360 actually looks like they represent flash 3147 02:03:37,270 --> 02:03:34,960 frozen samples of a salty liquid that's 3148 02:03:40,149 --> 02:03:37,280 dominated by sodium chloride and with a 3149 02:03:42,470 --> 02:03:40,159 little bit of potassium and carbonate 3150 02:03:43,910 --> 02:03:42,480 species 3151 02:03:45,589 --> 02:03:43,920 on the right hand side as i mentioned 3152 02:03:47,589 --> 02:03:45,599 previously it looks like mainly water 3153 02:03:48,709 --> 02:03:47,599 vapor and then you have co2 methane 3154 02:03:51,189 --> 02:03:48,719 ammonia 3155 02:03:53,270 --> 02:03:51,199 some organics and possibly 3156 02:03:55,669 --> 02:03:53,280 free molecular hydrogen which we'll talk 3157 02:03:56,870 --> 02:03:55,679 about later and at the lower left-hand 3158 02:03:58,310 --> 02:03:56,880 side of the image you can kind of see 3159 02:04:00,709 --> 02:03:58,320 for comparison what terrestrial sea 3160 02:04:03,350 --> 02:04:00,719 water looks like so it appears from the 3161 02:04:05,910 --> 02:04:03,360 cda data that enceladus ocean 3162 02:04:06,870 --> 02:04:05,920 is more dilute than sea water on the 3163 02:04:09,109 --> 02:04:06,880 earth 3164 02:04:10,470 --> 02:04:09,119 and then another marked difference is 3165 02:04:11,910 --> 02:04:10,480 sea water on the earth 3166 02:04:14,950 --> 02:04:11,920 actually has a fairly appreciable 3167 02:04:17,510 --> 02:04:14,960 concentration of sulfate and not as much 3168 02:04:20,310 --> 02:04:17,520 bicarbonate and enceladus's ocean seems 3169 02:04:22,550 --> 02:04:20,320 more like a soda ocean we have a decent 3170 02:04:24,709 --> 02:04:22,560 amount of bicarbonate and sulfate has 3171 02:04:26,550 --> 02:04:24,719 yet to be observed so these are 3172 02:04:28,709 --> 02:04:26,560 interesting similarities and differences 3173 02:04:33,270 --> 02:04:28,719 between the ocean we know and love and 3174 02:04:36,470 --> 02:04:35,109 so some of the the general science 3175 02:04:38,550 --> 02:04:36,480 themes that have been revealed by 3176 02:04:40,950 --> 02:04:38,560 cassini this is some work that i did 3177 02:04:43,270 --> 02:04:40,960 trying to constrain the the ph of this 3178 02:04:45,750 --> 02:04:43,280 ocean the ph is really a fundamental 3179 02:04:47,830 --> 02:04:45,760 geochemical parameter that quantifies 3180 02:04:50,310 --> 02:04:47,840 how acidic the water is 3181 02:04:52,790 --> 02:04:50,320 and basically i use this idea of the 3182 02:04:53,669 --> 02:04:52,800 carbonate system as a ph meter from 3183 02:04:55,910 --> 02:04:53,679 space 3184 02:04:58,629 --> 02:04:55,920 so we're not so fortunate to be able to 3185 02:05:00,709 --> 02:04:58,639 just take ph paper or ph probe like we 3186 02:05:02,470 --> 02:05:00,719 would on the earth and stick it into the 3187 02:05:04,550 --> 02:05:02,480 body of natural water enceladus so we 3188 02:05:06,790 --> 02:05:04,560 have to try to be a little clever and we 3189 02:05:08,950 --> 02:05:06,800 have to sacrifice some robustness so we 3190 02:05:10,709 --> 02:05:08,960 can try to do this using a spacecraft 3191 02:05:12,790 --> 02:05:10,719 measurement at 3192 02:05:14,069 --> 02:05:12,800 50 kilometers away from the surface 3193 02:05:15,669 --> 02:05:14,079 flying through the plume at 10 3194 02:05:17,589 --> 02:05:15,679 kilometers per second 3195 02:05:20,069 --> 02:05:17,599 but we can actually solve this carbonate 3196 02:05:22,149 --> 02:05:20,079 problem which is familiar to all of us 3197 02:05:23,990 --> 02:05:22,159 through rainwater so 3198 02:05:27,030 --> 02:05:24,000 rainwater although we've heard of acid 3199 02:05:27,990 --> 02:05:27,040 rain natural rainwater is weakly acidic 3200 02:05:30,790 --> 02:05:28,000 because 3201 02:05:33,270 --> 02:05:30,800 as shown in this left-hand uh figure you 3202 02:05:35,750 --> 02:05:33,280 have co2 dissolving in 3203 02:05:37,990 --> 02:05:35,760 rain water and then it self equilibrates 3204 02:05:39,990 --> 02:05:38,000 among different carbonate species to 3205 02:05:42,149 --> 02:05:40,000 create weak acidity 3206 02:05:43,030 --> 02:05:42,159 so at enceladus it turns out we have the 3207 02:05:45,750 --> 02:05:43,040 data 3208 02:05:47,350 --> 02:05:45,760 to use that fig right hand figure 3209 02:05:49,510 --> 02:05:47,360 showing the distribution of carbonate 3210 02:05:52,950 --> 02:05:49,520 species and we can invert that problem 3211 02:05:53,830 --> 02:05:52,960 to take observations of co2 in the plume 3212 02:05:55,910 --> 02:05:53,840 gas 3213 02:05:58,069 --> 02:05:55,920 and the carbonate salts and the plume 3214 02:06:00,470 --> 02:05:58,079 particles to try to figure out what's 3215 02:06:04,790 --> 02:06:00,480 the self-consistent ph 3216 02:06:07,910 --> 02:06:06,390 so that's what i did in this this next 3217 02:06:09,510 --> 02:06:07,920 slide here you can see on the left-hand 3218 02:06:12,069 --> 02:06:09,520 image i try to find where's the sweet 3219 02:06:14,390 --> 02:06:12,079 spot of self-consistency and when you do 3220 02:06:17,350 --> 02:06:14,400 that calculation you can see that line 3221 02:06:19,189 --> 02:06:17,360 there around 7.5 that's neutral ph 3222 02:06:21,830 --> 02:06:19,199 and that blue shaded region is that 3223 02:06:24,149 --> 02:06:21,840 self-consistent region for enceladus is 3224 02:06:25,589 --> 02:06:24,159 ocean based on the observational data so 3225 02:06:27,830 --> 02:06:25,599 it appears to be 3226 02:06:29,830 --> 02:06:27,840 elevated from neutral ph by several 3227 02:06:32,709 --> 02:06:29,840 units which indicates a fairly high 3228 02:06:34,390 --> 02:06:32,719 degree of alkalinity alkalinity or high 3229 02:06:37,109 --> 02:06:34,400 ph 3230 02:06:38,709 --> 02:06:37,119 and the interesting thing about that is 3231 02:06:40,870 --> 02:06:38,719 when you compare it to this image on the 3232 02:06:42,950 --> 02:06:40,880 right hand side here this was done by a 3233 02:06:44,629 --> 02:06:42,960 study by misha zolatov and i think 3234 02:06:47,430 --> 02:06:44,639 mark's calculations are broadly 3235 02:06:50,149 --> 02:06:47,440 consistent if you just try to figure out 3236 02:06:52,870 --> 02:06:50,159 what's the equilibrium ph if you if you 3237 02:06:55,109 --> 02:06:52,880 hit calculate for equilibrium between a 3238 02:06:57,750 --> 02:06:55,119 quadratic rock composition and liquid 3239 02:07:02,149 --> 02:06:57,760 water at zero degrees c you can see that 3240 02:07:03,510 --> 02:07:02,159 that top curve goes to roughly ph 11. so 3241 02:07:05,510 --> 02:07:03,520 it seems like there's general 3242 02:07:08,149 --> 02:07:05,520 consistency between what an 3243 02:07:10,310 --> 02:07:08,159 observationally based model that 3244 02:07:12,310 --> 02:07:10,320 from the carbonate system is giving and 3245 02:07:14,629 --> 02:07:12,320 what just theoretical geochemistry would 3246 02:07:19,030 --> 02:07:14,639 predict based on an expected composition 3247 02:07:24,149 --> 02:07:21,830 and so high ph waters aren't too common 3248 02:07:26,069 --> 02:07:24,159 on the earth sea waters ph about eight 3249 02:07:28,470 --> 02:07:26,079 but if you look card like many of you 3250 02:07:32,149 --> 02:07:28,480 folks have you can find these locations 3251 02:07:33,910 --> 02:07:32,159 in limited geologic terrain so one of 3252 02:07:35,910 --> 02:07:33,920 the most famous one is the lost city 3253 02:07:38,390 --> 02:07:35,920 hydrothermal system in the mid-atlantic 3254 02:07:41,990 --> 02:07:38,400 with elevated phs from about nine to 3255 02:07:43,910 --> 02:07:42,000 eleven the ophiolite noman so i broke ph 3256 02:07:44,709 --> 02:07:43,920 of 11.5 but i think measurements have 3257 02:07:45,510 --> 02:07:44,719 been 3258 02:07:50,390 --> 02:07:45,520 found 3259 02:07:54,390 --> 02:07:50,400 and enceladus so it seems like it could 3260 02:07:55,950 --> 02:07:54,400 be in the land of 11 to 12. so it seems 3261 02:07:58,709 --> 02:07:55,960 consistent with this notion that 3262 02:08:01,189 --> 02:07:58,719 serpentinization is a key process 3263 02:08:05,589 --> 02:08:01,199 controlling the geochemistry of that 3264 02:08:09,750 --> 02:08:07,589 and then another theme that's emerged 3265 02:08:11,910 --> 02:08:09,760 from the observation observational data 3266 02:08:13,270 --> 02:08:11,920 this is very recent data from just a 3267 02:08:14,470 --> 02:08:13,280 couple years ago 3268 02:08:17,350 --> 02:08:14,480 where 3269 02:08:19,990 --> 02:08:17,360 the cosmic dust analyzer observed these 3270 02:08:22,310 --> 02:08:20,000 very small nano sized particles of 3271 02:08:24,709 --> 02:08:22,320 almost pure silica that were found 3272 02:08:26,550 --> 02:08:24,719 floating in free space around saturn and 3273 02:08:28,709 --> 02:08:26,560 when these folks did a detailed 3274 02:08:31,350 --> 02:08:28,719 investigation they were able to trace 3275 02:08:35,669 --> 02:08:31,360 the most likely point of origin of these 3276 02:08:37,510 --> 02:08:35,679 silica nanoparticles to enceladus 3277 02:08:39,350 --> 02:08:37,520 it appears that enceladus is erupting 3278 02:08:41,750 --> 02:08:39,360 ice grains that contain 3279 02:08:43,430 --> 02:08:41,760 nano nanometer size silica particles 3280 02:08:45,350 --> 02:08:43,440 embedded in them and the right hand 3281 02:08:47,109 --> 02:08:45,360 image shows an attempt to use the 3282 02:08:49,750 --> 02:08:47,119 observations combined with a model to 3283 02:08:52,950 --> 02:08:49,760 try to constrain the concentration of 3284 02:08:54,870 --> 02:08:52,960 silica in the source fluid and the 3285 02:08:59,830 --> 02:08:54,880 conclusion was that the source fluid is 3286 02:09:04,790 --> 02:09:02,390 and so in in 2015 3287 02:09:07,109 --> 02:09:04,800 a couple papers appear proposing that 3288 02:09:09,750 --> 02:09:07,119 the mechanism of producing these 3289 02:09:12,790 --> 02:09:09,760 nanometer size silica particles involved 3290 02:09:14,470 --> 02:09:12,800 hydrothermal activity at enceladus where 3291 02:09:16,390 --> 02:09:14,480 um 3292 02:09:18,629 --> 02:09:16,400 hot water could circulate through 3293 02:09:21,350 --> 02:09:18,639 silicate material in the core 3294 02:09:23,589 --> 02:09:21,360 leach out silica at high temperatures 3295 02:09:26,709 --> 02:09:23,599 and then when that water mixes with cold 3296 02:09:28,870 --> 02:09:26,719 water at the ocean floor the solubility 3297 02:09:30,629 --> 02:09:28,880 of silica would drop dramatically and 3298 02:09:33,830 --> 02:09:30,639 silica particles would crash out of 3299 02:09:35,510 --> 02:09:33,840 solution and form precipitates sort of 3300 02:09:41,030 --> 02:09:35,520 like you see at 3301 02:09:44,870 --> 02:09:43,109 and so this slide here basically shows 3302 02:09:47,270 --> 02:09:44,880 some experiments that were performed to 3303 02:09:49,270 --> 02:09:47,280 support that interpretation so these 3304 02:09:51,589 --> 02:09:49,280 investigators performed laboratory 3305 02:09:55,430 --> 02:09:51,599 studies in a gold bag where they took a 3306 02:09:58,149 --> 02:09:55,440 mixture of olivine and encite in roughly 3307 02:09:59,910 --> 02:09:58,159 ci chondritic proportions 3308 02:10:02,629 --> 02:09:59,920 heated that up with hot water and then 3309 02:10:04,790 --> 02:10:02,639 they measured silica concentrations and 3310 02:10:07,189 --> 02:10:04,800 they found these data points shown here 3311 02:10:09,350 --> 02:10:07,199 in black and it's roughly consistent 3312 02:10:12,310 --> 02:10:09,360 with the classic buffer and assemblage 3313 02:10:14,870 --> 02:10:12,320 of serpentine and talc for this kind of 3314 02:10:17,109 --> 02:10:14,880 intermediate silica activity type 3315 02:10:18,950 --> 02:10:17,119 situation 3316 02:10:21,189 --> 02:10:18,960 so that all seems to hang together 3317 02:10:22,950 --> 02:10:21,199 fairly well 3318 02:10:25,990 --> 02:10:22,960 probably a lesser known study is misha 3319 02:10:27,990 --> 02:10:26,000 zolatov the theoretical geochemist he 3320 02:10:31,109 --> 02:10:28,000 was looking at theoretical calculations 3321 02:10:33,350 --> 02:10:31,119 trying to understand if you could have a 3322 02:10:35,189 --> 02:10:33,360 quadratic or ultramafic system which may 3323 02:10:37,510 --> 02:10:35,199 not really have a lot of silica in the 3324 02:10:39,270 --> 02:10:37,520 rock and whether or not there could be 3325 02:10:41,990 --> 02:10:39,280 enough silica leeched out into a 3326 02:10:43,990 --> 02:10:42,000 hydrothermal fluid to form silica 3327 02:10:46,310 --> 02:10:44,000 precipitates by the proposed cooling 3328 02:10:47,910 --> 02:10:46,320 mechanism and he expressed a little bit 3329 02:10:48,709 --> 02:10:47,920 of hesitation 3330 02:10:51,109 --> 02:10:48,719 so 3331 02:10:53,270 --> 02:10:51,119 just to kind of give you all a total 3332 02:10:55,270 --> 02:10:53,280 story that the hydrothermal model 3333 02:10:57,109 --> 02:10:55,280 appears to be the most well developed 3334 02:10:59,270 --> 02:10:57,119 current paradigm model but there are 3335 02:11:02,069 --> 02:10:59,280 some dissenting opinions 3336 02:11:06,709 --> 02:11:02,079 to this story so let's keep that in mind 3337 02:11:09,510 --> 02:11:07,910 and because you know there's there are 3338 02:11:12,069 --> 02:11:09,520 some questions in this notion of 3339 02:11:14,629 --> 02:11:12,079 hydrothermal activity is kind of a big 3340 02:11:16,550 --> 02:11:14,639 claim so it would be important to find 3341 02:11:19,270 --> 02:11:16,560 or to at least look for as much evidence 3342 02:11:21,270 --> 02:11:19,280 as possible to test this notion of 3343 02:11:22,629 --> 02:11:21,280 hydrothermal serpentinization at 3344 02:11:24,709 --> 02:11:22,639 enceladus 3345 02:11:25,990 --> 02:11:24,719 and so one thing that our group has been 3346 02:11:28,069 --> 02:11:26,000 looking at is 3347 02:11:30,790 --> 02:11:28,079 potential analog sites 3348 02:11:33,030 --> 02:11:30,800 for enceladus on the earth and lost city 3349 02:11:35,270 --> 02:11:33,040 has emerged as a an attractive candidate 3350 02:11:37,669 --> 02:11:35,280 and when you look at lost city has these 3351 02:11:40,229 --> 02:11:37,679 warm waters that are high ph like we 3352 02:11:41,990 --> 02:11:40,239 deduce for the enceladus ocean 3353 02:11:44,470 --> 02:11:42,000 and what's also notice notable about 3354 02:11:47,109 --> 02:11:44,480 lost city is the high concentration of 3355 02:11:49,270 --> 02:11:47,119 molecular hydrogen in these hydrothermal 3356 02:11:53,830 --> 02:11:49,280 vent fluids about 10 millimolar 3357 02:11:58,229 --> 02:11:55,910 here's a theoretical perspective too 3358 02:11:59,830 --> 02:11:58,239 from just sort of like a petrological 3359 02:12:00,950 --> 02:11:59,840 modeling perspective you can look at 3360 02:12:03,430 --> 02:12:00,960 different 3361 02:12:06,390 --> 02:12:03,440 mineral combinations that could buffer 3362 02:12:07,669 --> 02:12:06,400 the hydrogen activity in hydrothermal 3363 02:12:10,229 --> 02:12:07,679 vent fluids 3364 02:12:12,790 --> 02:12:10,239 and so for a serpentinizing system you 3365 02:12:15,030 --> 02:12:12,800 might expect these top this top curve to 3366 02:12:17,669 --> 02:12:15,040 apply where you have serpentines being 3367 02:12:20,629 --> 02:12:17,679 oxidized to assemblage of say magnetite 3368 02:12:23,189 --> 02:12:20,639 and talc so at elevated temperatures 3369 02:12:30,470 --> 02:12:23,199 this type of analysis suggests higher 3370 02:12:33,669 --> 02:12:32,069 and so we've been very interested in 3371 02:12:36,069 --> 02:12:33,679 this possibility of testing for 3372 02:12:36,950 --> 02:12:36,079 hydrothermal activity at enceladus 3373 02:12:39,510 --> 02:12:36,960 and 3374 02:12:42,229 --> 02:12:39,520 we specifically designed a unique 3375 02:12:43,270 --> 02:12:42,239 operational mode for the cassini inms 3376 02:12:45,589 --> 02:12:43,280 instrument 3377 02:12:47,750 --> 02:12:45,599 with using the open source aperture of 3378 02:12:50,629 --> 02:12:47,760 the instrument which would hopefully 3379 02:12:52,470 --> 02:12:50,639 allow a more robust measure of hydrogen 3380 02:12:54,310 --> 02:12:52,480 in the plume the problem is that there's 3381 02:12:56,790 --> 02:12:54,320 also water vapor in the plume and 3382 02:13:00,229 --> 02:12:56,800 there's potential mechanisms to convert 3383 02:13:02,629 --> 02:13:00,239 water vapor to h2 in the instrument if 3384 02:13:04,950 --> 02:13:02,639 you use the normal closed source so we 3385 02:13:07,270 --> 02:13:04,960 use the open source to try to circumvent 3386 02:13:09,510 --> 02:13:07,280 that issue and we're 3387 02:13:11,270 --> 02:13:09,520 we're finishing the touches on a paper 3388 02:13:14,790 --> 02:13:11,280 and it's been submitted so stay tuned 3389 02:13:18,470 --> 02:13:16,149 i just quickly i know i'm running out of 3390 02:13:21,430 --> 02:13:18,480 time here so while we were performing 3391 02:13:23,910 --> 02:13:21,440 the data analysis of the e21 inms data i 3392 02:13:26,310 --> 02:13:23,920 was also performing a geochemical 3393 02:13:28,790 --> 02:13:26,320 analysis of all the possible sources of 3394 02:13:31,750 --> 02:13:28,800 hydrogen at enceladus because maybe it's 3395 02:13:32,950 --> 02:13:31,760 premature to say h2 equals hydrothermal 3396 02:13:35,030 --> 02:13:32,960 so we looked at all sorts of 3397 02:13:37,910 --> 02:13:35,040 possibilities like if you could have 3398 02:13:40,470 --> 02:13:37,920 primordial h2 that's somehow trapped in 3399 02:13:43,669 --> 02:13:40,480 the ison enceladus or if you could form 3400 02:13:46,229 --> 02:13:43,679 h2 by radiolysis of water either in the 3401 02:13:47,750 --> 02:13:46,239 interior or on the surface of enceladus 3402 02:13:49,830 --> 02:13:47,760 and the basic conclusion we found is 3403 02:13:52,550 --> 02:13:49,840 that these possibilities are severely 3404 02:13:54,870 --> 02:13:52,560 constrained or inconsistent with other 3405 02:13:56,950 --> 02:13:54,880 sources of observational data or 3406 02:13:59,350 --> 02:13:56,960 theoretical arguments so we think the 3407 02:14:04,390 --> 02:13:59,360 conclusion if we find h2 that could be a 3408 02:14:07,189 --> 02:14:05,510 and i'm not going to touch up on this 3409 02:14:09,510 --> 02:14:07,199 slide too much all i wanted to basically 3410 02:14:11,589 --> 02:14:09,520 point out is i think enceladus provides 3411 02:14:13,510 --> 02:14:11,599 a natural laboratory for testing a lot 3412 02:14:15,510 --> 02:14:13,520 of these notions where you can think of 3413 02:14:16,790 --> 02:14:15,520 serpentinization as the inorganic 3414 02:14:19,109 --> 02:14:16,800 foundation 3415 02:14:21,109 --> 02:14:19,119 for supporting life by making molecular 3416 02:14:23,990 --> 02:14:21,119 hydrogen that can drive all these 3417 02:14:26,310 --> 02:14:24,000 fascinating disequilibrium processes of 3418 02:14:28,790 --> 02:14:26,320 synthesizing organic molecules which can 3419 02:14:30,629 --> 02:14:28,800 then eventually support ecosystems like 3420 02:14:32,950 --> 02:14:30,639 we find on the earth so there's been a 3421 02:14:34,790 --> 02:14:32,960 lot of debate about the origin of life 3422 02:14:37,030 --> 02:14:34,800 and much of it is philosophical and i 3423 02:14:39,270 --> 02:14:37,040 think enceladus is the next logical 3424 02:14:41,270 --> 02:14:39,280 place to go to really put a lot of these 3425 02:14:45,189 --> 02:14:41,280 ideas to the test so i strongly 3426 02:14:48,470 --> 02:14:46,950 and so just for the final part of the 3427 02:14:51,830 --> 02:14:48,480 slide i thought since this last 3428 02:14:53,830 --> 02:14:51,840 presentation uh what's next it turns out 3429 02:14:56,310 --> 02:14:53,840 from cassini we've learned a lot we've 3430 02:14:59,030 --> 02:14:56,320 basically almost completely checked the 3431 02:15:00,950 --> 02:14:59,040 habitability part of searching for life 3432 02:15:03,750 --> 02:15:00,960 we think there's liquid water there's 3433 02:15:06,310 --> 02:15:03,760 evidence for organic molecules possible 3434 02:15:08,870 --> 02:15:06,320 energy sources free molecular hydrogen 3435 02:15:10,950 --> 02:15:08,880 or other sources of chemical energy that 3436 02:15:13,189 --> 02:15:10,960 could be generated by hydrothermal 3437 02:15:16,069 --> 02:15:13,199 activity so what do we do next in the 3438 02:15:17,910 --> 02:15:16,079 search for life 3439 02:15:20,149 --> 02:15:17,920 this is a really nice graphic by brett 3440 02:15:22,550 --> 02:15:20,159 sherwood basically mapping out the 3441 02:15:24,310 --> 02:15:22,560 trajectory of exploration 3442 02:15:26,550 --> 02:15:24,320 along with my age just to kind of 3443 02:15:29,510 --> 02:15:26,560 emphasize that this is sort of a real 3444 02:15:31,030 --> 02:15:29,520 long range program where we're starting 3445 02:15:33,270 --> 02:15:31,040 with cassini and we basically have 3446 02:15:34,870 --> 02:15:33,280 nailed down habitability and the next 3447 02:15:37,510 --> 02:15:34,880 step you can maybe envision is to do 3448 02:15:39,350 --> 02:15:37,520 something similar to the europa multi 3449 02:15:40,950 --> 02:15:39,360 flyby mission where we do 3450 02:15:42,950 --> 02:15:40,960 in-depth 3451 02:15:45,109 --> 02:15:42,960 investigation of the plume but using 3452 02:15:46,229 --> 02:15:45,119 modern instrumentation to really start 3453 02:15:48,709 --> 02:15:46,239 to look for 3454 02:15:50,870 --> 02:15:48,719 signs of potential biomolecules in the 3455 02:15:52,709 --> 02:15:50,880 plume and eventually getting to think 3456 02:15:55,669 --> 02:15:52,719 really the really exciting possibilities 3457 02:15:58,229 --> 02:15:55,679 like returning samples from the plume or 3458 02:16:01,109 --> 02:15:58,239 possibly once i'm gone uh sending 3459 02:16:03,589 --> 02:16:01,119 submersibles into the ocean to actively 3460 02:16:05,270 --> 02:16:03,599 look at these hydrothermal systems 3461 02:16:06,790 --> 02:16:05,280 a lot of interesting possibilities for 3462 02:16:09,270 --> 02:16:06,800 the future 3463 02:16:11,669 --> 02:16:09,280 and i think i'm going to just stop there 3464 02:16:13,350 --> 02:16:11,679 i do have a movie if there's enough time 3465 02:16:15,990 --> 02:16:13,360 mike you can play the movie if not i'll 3466 02:16:18,149 --> 02:16:16,000 be happy to take questions 3467 02:16:21,189 --> 02:16:18,159 yeah chris if you play it muted and you 3468 02:16:23,589 --> 02:16:21,199 take questions while it's playing 3469 02:16:28,950 --> 02:16:26,069 yeah let's do that um okay chris we got 3470 02:16:31,830 --> 02:16:28,960 a lot of great uh questions and comments 3471 02:16:34,309 --> 02:16:31,840 online um first was from julie castillo 3472 02:16:36,070 --> 02:16:34,319 wondering um i'm curious about this too 3473 02:16:38,230 --> 02:16:36,080 do you expect the plume composition to 3474 02:16:39,270 --> 02:16:38,240 reflect the ocean composition directly 3475 02:16:42,950 --> 02:16:39,280 or could there be some kind of 3476 02:16:44,549 --> 02:16:42,960 fractionation during some formation 3477 02:16:46,790 --> 02:16:44,559 yeah that's a good question so it 3478 02:16:49,830 --> 02:16:46,800 appears that the um the ionic 3479 02:16:51,669 --> 02:16:49,840 composition of the salt particles may be 3480 02:16:53,349 --> 02:16:51,679 a pretty close match based on this 3481 02:16:56,070 --> 02:16:53,359 notion that you could have flash 3482 02:16:57,270 --> 02:16:56,080 freezing of ocean water as droplets are 3483 02:16:59,030 --> 02:16:57,280 erupting 3484 02:17:00,549 --> 02:16:59,040 into a low pressure environment making 3485 02:17:02,389 --> 02:17:00,559 their way into space 3486 02:17:05,030 --> 02:17:02,399 if you're trying to relate the gaseous 3487 02:17:07,669 --> 02:17:05,040 composition to the ocean composition you 3488 02:17:10,230 --> 02:17:07,679 actually have to start worrying about 3489 02:17:12,629 --> 02:17:10,240 condensation of material in the vents 3490 02:17:15,750 --> 02:17:12,639 and that becomes a more difficult 3491 02:17:18,150 --> 02:17:15,760 modeling exercise to try to constrain 3492 02:17:19,830 --> 02:17:18,160 what the composition of the gas how that 3493 02:17:21,589 --> 02:17:19,840 might reflect the original ocean 3494 02:17:23,030 --> 02:17:21,599 composition 3495 02:17:25,589 --> 02:17:23,040 just to give an example i think we kind 3496 02:17:27,990 --> 02:17:25,599 of got led astray when we just took a 3497 02:17:30,469 --> 02:17:28,000 direct look at the gas and said that 3498 02:17:32,389 --> 02:17:30,479 looks like the source because the plume 3499 02:17:35,110 --> 02:17:32,399 gas is actually quite enriched in 3500 02:17:36,950 --> 02:17:35,120 volatiles relative to water vapor so it 3501 02:17:39,030 --> 02:17:36,960 got many people thinking that it must 3502 02:17:41,509 --> 02:17:39,040 mean clathrates but that did not 3503 02:17:43,910 --> 02:17:41,519 consider processes that remove water 3504 02:17:45,910 --> 02:17:43,920 vapor when material is erupting through 3505 02:17:54,150 --> 02:17:45,920 the relatively cold ice 3506 02:17:59,669 --> 02:17:57,190 all right uh i i wonder even for the 3507 02:18:00,709 --> 02:17:59,679 aqueous portion if if um 3508 02:18:02,230 --> 02:18:00,719 there may be some fractional 3509 02:18:04,389 --> 02:18:02,240 crystallization you know what you 3510 02:18:06,629 --> 02:18:04,399 described sort of requires an assumption 3511 02:18:08,389 --> 02:18:06,639 that the fluids are directly in contact 3512 02:18:10,150 --> 02:18:08,399 with the source of the plumes 3513 02:18:12,070 --> 02:18:10,160 which may be the case yep 3514 02:18:14,070 --> 02:18:12,080 there could be yeah i think the next 3515 02:18:16,230 --> 02:18:14,080 step is if somebody's so inspired it'd 3516 02:18:19,509 --> 02:18:16,240 be really useful for this community to 3517 02:18:21,830 --> 02:18:19,519 perform experiments where you study 3518 02:18:24,389 --> 02:18:21,840 catastrophic and violent boiling and 3519 02:18:27,509 --> 02:18:24,399 degassing and freezing of liquid water 3520 02:18:29,509 --> 02:18:27,519 exposed to vacuum conditions and to see 3521 02:18:31,750 --> 02:18:29,519 you know what how that composition might 3522 02:18:34,709 --> 02:18:31,760 be reflected if you were to produce an 3523 02:18:36,549 --> 02:18:34,719 artificial plume in the laboratory 3524 02:18:38,549 --> 02:18:36,559 when you start with a known ocean 3525 02:18:40,549 --> 02:18:38,559 composition i think that'd be really 3526 02:18:44,469 --> 02:18:40,559 interesting and useful 3527 02:18:46,309 --> 02:18:44,479 yeah that's great uh well so 3528 02:18:48,469 --> 02:18:46,319 pop-up talks i'm gonna try to summarize 3529 02:18:51,349 --> 02:18:48,479 some of the questions that followed uh 3530 02:18:52,629 --> 02:18:51,359 so hector um pointed to some experiments 3531 02:18:54,870 --> 02:18:52,639 at virginia tech and university of 3532 02:18:56,469 --> 02:18:54,880 toronto pointed out the dependence of 3533 02:18:58,309 --> 02:18:56,479 serpentinization on the ionic 3534 02:19:00,070 --> 02:18:58,319 composition you sort of touched on that 3535 02:19:02,070 --> 02:19:00,080 in your talk uh after the question was 3536 02:19:04,150 --> 02:19:02,080 posted uh but i hope that's something we 3537 02:19:05,349 --> 02:19:04,160 can maybe consider in the chat later on 3538 02:19:08,629 --> 02:19:05,359 um 3539 02:19:10,870 --> 02:19:08,639 and general on the same lines 3540 02:19:16,469 --> 02:19:10,880 evidence uh for 3541 02:19:19,990 --> 02:19:18,309 yeah well i think that's a really good 3542 02:19:22,709 --> 02:19:20,000 question so there were some early 3543 02:19:24,870 --> 02:19:22,719 observations reported from the cassini 3544 02:19:27,349 --> 02:19:24,880 vims instrument so this looks at the 3545 02:19:31,270 --> 02:19:27,359 near ir spectra and they reported 3546 02:19:33,270 --> 02:19:31,280 signatures of co2 ice or icy complexes 3547 02:19:34,389 --> 02:19:33,280 containing co2 3548 02:19:36,549 --> 02:19:34,399 there have been 3549 02:19:38,870 --> 02:19:36,559 various reports i think in the uv saying 3550 02:19:40,790 --> 02:19:38,880 that there could be ammonia ice present 3551 02:19:43,349 --> 02:19:40,800 on the surface but that's that's not 3552 02:19:45,270 --> 02:19:43,359 really i would say that's tentative 3553 02:19:47,509 --> 02:19:45,280 evidence so far 3554 02:19:48,710 --> 02:19:47,519 uh beyond that i don't think there's 3555 02:19:50,630 --> 02:19:48,720 been any other 3556 02:19:52,870 --> 02:19:50,640 spectral evidence on the surface of 3557 02:19:54,630 --> 02:19:52,880 enceladus 3558 02:19:57,349 --> 02:19:54,640 good reason to go back 3559 02:19:59,510 --> 02:19:57,359 um absolutely 3560 02:20:02,230 --> 02:19:59,520 so julie julie hoover similarly points 3561 02:20:05,590 --> 02:20:02,240 to some uh well she points to some other 3562 02:20:09,270 --> 02:20:07,190 page is not high 3563 02:20:11,830 --> 02:20:09,280 so that link to that paper is in the 3564 02:20:14,230 --> 02:20:11,840 discussion thread um another question 3565 02:20:17,510 --> 02:20:14,240 about a working hypothesis on how to get 3566 02:20:19,670 --> 02:20:17,520 pure silicate um to precipitate from 3567 02:20:22,870 --> 02:20:19,680 silica for serpentine serpentine 3568 02:20:26,630 --> 02:20:24,870 yeah i think that's a good question too 3569 02:20:29,110 --> 02:20:26,640 so it may be the case that we talked 3570 02:20:32,469 --> 02:20:29,120 about serpentinization the classical 3571 02:20:36,230 --> 02:20:32,479 case on earth to my understanding is to 3572 02:20:39,349 --> 02:20:36,240 aqueously alter olivine to produce some 3573 02:20:41,750 --> 02:20:39,359 serpentine and brew site on for a ci 3574 02:20:44,150 --> 02:20:41,760 chondritic or solar composition rock 3575 02:20:46,070 --> 02:20:44,160 it's not quite the same as peridotite 3576 02:20:48,550 --> 02:20:46,080 the solar composition is actually a 3577 02:20:50,309 --> 02:20:48,560 little bit richer in silica and you can 3578 02:20:52,550 --> 02:20:50,319 kind of think of as of 3579 02:20:55,030 --> 02:20:52,560 ci chondrite as more being similar to a 3580 02:20:56,950 --> 02:20:55,040 peroxide on the earth 3581 02:20:58,870 --> 02:20:56,960 so it may be the case that there's a 3582 02:21:00,630 --> 02:20:58,880 little more silica there than we might 3583 02:21:02,469 --> 02:21:00,640 normally think of on the earth but it's 3584 02:21:05,110 --> 02:21:02,479 still an interesting question to see if 3585 02:21:07,670 --> 02:21:05,120 we can reconcile these observations of 3586 02:21:10,469 --> 02:21:07,680 silica particles with 3587 02:21:11,349 --> 02:21:10,479 possible models of aqueous alteration 3588 02:21:13,190 --> 02:21:11,359 of 3589 02:21:15,270 --> 02:21:13,200 rocky material 3590 02:21:17,670 --> 02:21:15,280 it could also be the case that maybe the 3591 02:21:19,429 --> 02:21:17,680 hydrothermally reacted rock 3592 02:21:21,150 --> 02:21:19,439 is not the primordial rock but there 3593 02:21:22,950 --> 02:21:21,160 could have been some kind of igneous 3594 02:21:25,270 --> 02:21:22,960 differentiation or 3595 02:21:27,190 --> 02:21:25,280 some other processes of mass transfer 3596 02:21:29,670 --> 02:21:27,200 that might have fractionated enceladus 3597 02:21:32,950 --> 02:21:29,680 core in a way that we don't presently 3598 02:21:38,830 --> 02:21:35,270 yeah so lots of lots of complexities to 3599 02:21:44,309 --> 02:21:42,389 uh supporting the idea of wondering 3600 02:21:46,950 --> 02:21:44,319 uh how directly we can interpret the 3601 02:21:51,270 --> 02:21:46,960 type of serpentinization if any uh from 3602 02:21:55,270 --> 02:21:51,280 the enceladus observations and seconding 3603 02:21:56,710 --> 02:21:55,280 other analogs we should look at 3604 02:21:59,830 --> 02:21:56,720 um yeah i 3605 02:22:00,630 --> 02:21:59,840 agree with chris german completely 3606 02:22:02,870 --> 02:22:00,640 great 3607 02:22:05,270 --> 02:22:02,880 uh also serpentinization likely 3608 02:22:06,150 --> 02:22:05,280 responsible for nitrogen fixation 3609 02:22:08,790 --> 02:22:06,160 to 3610 02:22:11,830 --> 02:22:08,800 uh ammonia uh or is there another 3611 02:22:17,190 --> 02:22:14,389 uh it's possible so if if hydrogen is 3612 02:22:18,550 --> 02:22:17,200 observed then there is a strong thermic 3613 02:22:20,309 --> 02:22:18,560 drive and there could be catalytic 3614 02:22:23,190 --> 02:22:20,319 metals that could drive the conversion 3615 02:22:25,750 --> 02:22:23,200 of n2 to ammonia 3616 02:22:28,389 --> 02:22:25,760 ammonia has been detected in the plume 3617 02:22:29,990 --> 02:22:28,399 n2 interestingly enough has not been 3618 02:22:32,870 --> 02:22:30,000 observed 3619 02:22:34,389 --> 02:22:32,880 so the question is does the ammonia 3620 02:22:36,950 --> 02:22:34,399 represent 3621 02:22:39,670 --> 02:22:36,960 a significant conversion of n2 to 3622 02:22:41,910 --> 02:22:39,680 ammonia or could the ammonia just be a 3623 02:22:43,190 --> 02:22:41,920 primordial species that has been 3624 02:22:44,070 --> 02:22:43,200 preserved 3625 02:22:46,150 --> 02:22:44,080 uh 3626 02:22:48,790 --> 02:22:46,160 until the present day i think that would 3627 02:22:51,590 --> 02:22:48,800 require a new mission to look at things 3628 02:22:54,070 --> 02:22:51,600 like the um an isotopic composition for 3629 02:22:57,830 --> 02:22:54,080 example to try to understand the source 3630 02:22:59,910 --> 02:22:57,840 of the nitrogen on enceladus 3631 02:23:01,670 --> 02:22:59,920 great 3632 02:23:04,389 --> 02:23:01,680 uh chris thanks so much for a really 3633 02:23:06,790 --> 02:23:04,399 thorough and fun talk uh we need to move 3634 02:23:09,670 --> 02:23:06,800 on to the pop-up talks now um so i'd 3635 02:23:11,990 --> 02:23:09,680 like us to bring up our next uh 3636 02:23:16,870 --> 02:23:12,000 speaker and i believe julie castillo is 3637 02:23:16,880 --> 02:23:22,230 oh 3638 02:23:28,389 --> 02:23:24,469 okay so whenever you're ready uh just 3639 02:23:31,590 --> 02:23:29,990 um and just a reminder we have about 3640 02:23:33,030 --> 02:23:31,600 five minutes for each pop-up talk now 3641 02:23:34,790 --> 02:23:33,040 and we'll do about a minute or two of 3642 02:23:41,830 --> 02:23:34,800 questions so we could try to stay on 3643 02:23:58,469 --> 02:23:44,550 adrian adrian you might be muted on your 3644 02:24:02,070 --> 02:24:00,309 this presentation is just going to be 3645 02:24:07,110 --> 02:24:02,080 short um 3646 02:24:07,120 --> 02:24:14,160 of uh 3647 02:24:14,170 --> 02:24:27,030 [Music] 3648 02:24:27,040 --> 02:24:33,510 newly toxic 3649 02:24:38,790 --> 02:24:35,270 region in western australia 3650 02:24:40,150 --> 02:24:38,800 fourth place on uh 3651 02:24:52,710 --> 02:24:40,160 analog 3652 02:24:52,720 --> 02:25:03,910 all right 3653 02:25:06,790 --> 02:25:05,110 use the arrow at the bottom of your 3654 02:25:07,990 --> 02:25:06,800 screen 3655 02:25:36,630 --> 02:25:08,000 okay got it 3656 02:25:41,429 --> 02:25:38,389 this is pretty famous this is what it 3657 02:25:44,790 --> 02:25:41,439 says it's the area where the best is the 3658 02:25:46,630 --> 02:25:44,800 oldest system in my life exists in 3659 02:25:48,950 --> 02:25:46,640 in western australia and 3660 02:25:49,910 --> 02:25:48,960 in the world i'll show you in a couple 3661 02:25:51,030 --> 02:25:49,920 of 3662 02:25:52,790 --> 02:25:51,040 moments 3663 02:25:55,830 --> 02:25:52,800 we were trying to highlight uh in this 3664 02:25:58,710 --> 02:25:55,840 paper is alteration minerals that were 3665 02:26:00,469 --> 02:25:58,720 in the norfolk zone it could be mapped 3666 02:26:03,110 --> 02:26:00,479 and uh have 3667 02:26:04,309 --> 02:26:03,120 associations with the strata that we 3668 02:26:06,550 --> 02:26:04,319 found 3669 02:26:08,070 --> 02:26:06,560 at the north pole zone and these are 3670 02:26:11,750 --> 02:26:08,080 these rocks are part of the world warner 3671 02:26:13,510 --> 02:26:11,760 group um at about 3.5 billion is old so 3672 02:26:16,309 --> 02:26:13,520 they're very similar in age to the 3673 02:26:18,469 --> 02:26:16,319 military rocks that i'll talk about 3674 02:26:21,270 --> 02:26:18,479 in a few slides time 3675 02:26:23,590 --> 02:26:21,280 now what what are what i was looking for 3676 02:26:25,670 --> 02:26:23,600 in the hyperspectrum data set were 3677 02:26:28,389 --> 02:26:25,680 alteration minerals that really stand 3678 02:26:30,550 --> 02:26:28,399 out with very strong absorption bands 3679 02:26:33,030 --> 02:26:30,560 um and my um 3680 02:26:34,950 --> 02:26:33,040 general strategy uh 3681 02:26:38,870 --> 02:26:34,960 approach when i was uh 3682 02:26:40,389 --> 02:26:38,880 trying to map these areas and uh was to 3683 02:26:42,070 --> 02:26:40,399 go back to sydney 3684 02:26:44,150 --> 02:26:42,080 uh each year and look at the remote 3685 02:26:46,230 --> 02:26:44,160 testing dataset i had and then go back 3686 02:26:48,150 --> 02:26:46,240 out in the in the winter after the 3687 02:26:50,790 --> 02:26:48,160 pilgrimage where the temperatures became 3688 02:26:52,309 --> 02:26:50,800 variable in the winter and try and 3689 02:26:54,790 --> 02:26:52,319 follow up on discoveries that i've made 3690 02:26:56,950 --> 02:26:54,800 using roommates and data set back in 3691 02:27:01,110 --> 02:26:56,960 the computer lab if you will 3692 02:27:05,750 --> 02:27:01,120 so i was very shocked to see this very 3693 02:27:09,510 --> 02:27:07,670 washed out the resulting band 3694 02:27:11,030 --> 02:27:09,520 in my second year of an office and so i 3695 02:27:13,030 --> 02:27:11,040 was pretty excited to go out there the 3696 02:27:14,830 --> 02:27:13,040 next year when i went out there this is 3697 02:27:17,190 --> 02:27:14,840 what i saw 3698 02:27:18,309 --> 02:27:17,200 um can you see my cursor on the screen 3699 02:27:20,150 --> 02:27:18,319 there 3700 02:27:21,750 --> 02:27:20,160 okay this is basically on the right hand 3701 02:27:25,270 --> 02:27:21,760 side this key 3702 02:27:29,910 --> 02:27:27,910 yeah okay all right that's it pretty 3703 02:27:32,710 --> 02:27:29,920 crappy sort of outcrop here it's covered 3704 02:27:33,510 --> 02:27:32,720 with spin effects here's my brutus scale 3705 02:27:35,270 --> 02:27:33,520 um 3706 02:27:37,990 --> 02:27:35,280 and and this stuff was what i was seeing 3707 02:27:40,389 --> 02:27:38,000 this huge absorption there and from 3708 02:27:42,790 --> 02:27:40,399 uh and it took a lot of um 3709 02:27:43,590 --> 02:27:42,800 thinking to work out what was going on 3710 02:27:47,429 --> 02:27:43,600 here 3711 02:27:50,309 --> 02:27:47,439 fact the long story short 3712 02:27:51,990 --> 02:27:50,319 it actually carbonates alteration of 3713 02:27:55,590 --> 02:27:52,000 underlying uh 3714 02:27:58,309 --> 02:27:55,600 olivine rich commoditized block uh 3715 02:28:00,230 --> 02:27:58,319 so this is around 3.5 billion years old 3716 02:28:02,389 --> 02:28:00,240 and the top really stands out in the 3717 02:28:04,550 --> 02:28:02,399 hyperspectrum there's that because 3718 02:28:06,950 --> 02:28:04,560 it's very bright and it's very friable 3719 02:28:09,510 --> 02:28:06,960 and it gets over everything and so even 3720 02:28:11,110 --> 02:28:09,520 amongst this i i know 3721 02:28:12,389 --> 02:28:11,120 the way they talked about education 3722 02:28:14,790 --> 02:28:12,399 getting in the way of 3723 02:28:16,790 --> 02:28:14,800 uh absorption bands and um signals in 3724 02:28:18,950 --> 02:28:16,800 hyper stretching data 3725 02:28:21,590 --> 02:28:18,960 this benefits just really didn't affect 3726 02:28:22,630 --> 02:28:21,600 the fact that the the health around it 3727 02:28:24,389 --> 02:28:22,640 um 3728 02:28:25,590 --> 02:28:24,399 uh really yeah 3729 02:28:26,550 --> 02:28:25,600 without 3730 02:28:29,990 --> 02:28:26,560 okay 3731 02:28:33,590 --> 02:28:31,190 this is an example of one of those 3732 02:28:35,670 --> 02:28:33,600 stromatolites that that are found in a 3733 02:28:38,710 --> 02:28:35,680 layer that's just above the ultramatic 3734 02:28:41,030 --> 02:28:38,720 laser layer that i was talking about 3735 02:28:42,950 --> 02:28:41,040 so this led to the telco date hypothesis 3736 02:28:44,870 --> 02:28:42,960 which the paper that we published in 3737 02:28:46,630 --> 02:28:44,880 2010 3738 02:28:48,550 --> 02:28:46,640 um 3739 02:28:51,110 --> 02:28:48,560 didn't get that right 3740 02:28:53,110 --> 02:28:51,120 where we actually went back to the um 3741 02:28:55,349 --> 02:28:53,120 christmas data set on mars in the nelly 3742 02:28:56,950 --> 02:28:55,359 fosse which elena also talked about and 3743 02:28:57,750 --> 02:28:56,960 we found um 3744 02:28:58,790 --> 02:28:57,760 that 3745 02:29:00,790 --> 02:28:58,800 there was 3746 02:29:03,030 --> 02:29:00,800 quite likely that 3747 02:29:05,429 --> 02:29:03,040 carbonate could explain a lot of the 3748 02:29:07,750 --> 02:29:05,439 carbonate features that we actually see 3749 02:29:09,990 --> 02:29:07,760 in milk profit 3750 02:29:11,830 --> 02:29:10,000 and so that's uh 3751 02:29:14,710 --> 02:29:11,840 the broad 3752 02:29:16,710 --> 02:29:14,720 outline of the link between the silver 3753 02:29:18,230 --> 02:29:16,720 and mars that we have 3754 02:29:20,309 --> 02:29:18,240 but um 3755 02:29:22,550 --> 02:29:20,319 but then this is me followed up by a 3756 02:29:23,429 --> 02:29:22,560 couple of papers from christina 3757 02:29:25,830 --> 02:29:23,439 who 3758 02:29:27,910 --> 02:29:25,840 elena mentioned and also um at this type 3759 02:29:30,710 --> 02:29:27,920 of white uh school 3760 02:29:37,429 --> 02:29:33,110 was making the point that it's very 3761 02:29:38,710 --> 02:29:37,439 difficult to form talc in shallow areas 3762 02:29:41,110 --> 02:29:38,720 of mars 3763 02:29:42,950 --> 02:29:41,120 um and particularly uh due to the low 3764 02:29:43,590 --> 02:29:42,960 pressure situation there 3765 02:29:45,190 --> 02:29:43,600 in 3766 02:29:48,389 --> 02:29:45,200 the martian crust 3767 02:29:51,429 --> 02:29:48,399 um and the local gradient uh that 3768 02:29:53,670 --> 02:29:51,439 we're likely that we uh see on on mars 3769 02:29:55,990 --> 02:29:53,680 well we are in the martian regular 3770 02:29:58,630 --> 02:29:56,000 that it's really difficult to perform 3771 02:30:01,030 --> 02:29:58,640 these sub-synchronization reactions he 3772 02:30:02,870 --> 02:30:01,040 uh he calculated this uh 3773 02:30:04,550 --> 02:30:02,880 map on the right of 3774 02:30:08,150 --> 02:30:04,560 our activities here's the skeleton 3775 02:30:09,990 --> 02:30:08,160 versus temperature and um formation of 3776 02:30:13,349 --> 02:30:10,000 uh towers these 3777 02:30:15,510 --> 02:30:13,359 um pc areas here 3778 02:30:18,550 --> 02:30:15,520 and up up in this gray area here is this 3779 02:30:19,990 --> 02:30:18,560 this abandonation region of um formation 3780 02:30:22,230 --> 02:30:20,000 a couple of other people have shown 3781 02:30:24,309 --> 02:30:22,240 these type of some 3782 02:30:25,670 --> 02:30:24,319 plots so i won't go into it in a lot of 3783 02:30:27,590 --> 02:30:25,680 detail 3784 02:30:29,510 --> 02:30:27,600 basically the point of our project was 3785 02:30:32,710 --> 02:30:29,520 we wanted to work out whether we could 3786 02:30:34,150 --> 02:30:32,720 get stuff forming at lower pressures um 3787 02:30:34,950 --> 02:30:34,160 i re-ran 3788 02:30:36,710 --> 02:30:34,960 um 3789 02:30:42,389 --> 02:30:36,720 uh 3790 02:30:44,469 --> 02:30:42,399 killer bar and 0.1 kilobytes 3791 02:30:45,910 --> 02:30:44,479 and again to cut along very short we 3792 02:30:48,630 --> 02:30:45,920 found that they're actually getting 3793 02:30:49,990 --> 02:30:48,640 molar temperature formation of the um 3794 02:30:52,710 --> 02:30:50,000 systemization 3795 02:30:55,110 --> 02:30:52,720 materials by etaus and so on 3796 02:30:56,870 --> 02:30:55,120 um it was moving further to the right in 3797 02:30:59,510 --> 02:30:56,880 this reaction 3798 02:31:01,910 --> 02:30:59,520 uh so that's um that's that's good 3799 02:31:03,349 --> 02:31:01,920 that's um 3800 02:31:05,110 --> 02:31:03,359 that's good as far as some computer 3801 02:31:10,469 --> 02:31:05,120 models looking to 3802 02:31:15,510 --> 02:31:13,429 but then and just to talk about the uh 3803 02:31:17,429 --> 02:31:15,520 the possible uh 3804 02:31:20,070 --> 02:31:17,439 sorry adrian we're just about to make 3805 02:31:22,389 --> 02:31:20,080 sure we can have our other speakers talk 3806 02:31:24,230 --> 02:31:22,399 yeah okay i'll just talk about the 3807 02:31:26,790 --> 02:31:24,240 the scenarios that i'm looking at now 3808 02:31:30,389 --> 02:31:26,800 for the self-carbon hypothesis 3809 02:31:31,670 --> 02:31:30,399 and potentially um this could have been 3810 02:31:33,349 --> 02:31:31,680 the carbonates that we see in early 3811 02:31:35,910 --> 02:31:33,359 phosphate could have been formed by a 3812 02:31:37,830 --> 02:31:35,920 commodiate lava flow that was buried and 3813 02:31:40,830 --> 02:31:37,840 then later exhumed 3814 02:31:42,630 --> 02:31:40,840 and we see a stratigraphy of the area 3815 02:31:47,190 --> 02:31:42,640 um 3816 02:31:48,790 --> 02:31:47,200 that our latest uh work is now 3817 02:31:50,469 --> 02:31:48,800 concentrating 3818 02:31:52,950 --> 02:31:50,479 on um 3819 02:31:54,870 --> 02:31:52,960 this will be reported at lbsd 3820 02:31:56,710 --> 02:31:54,880 on uh the jezreel crater region we'll 3821 02:31:58,950 --> 02:31:56,720 you're looking at the carbonates 3822 02:32:01,349 --> 02:31:58,960 that are forming there uh this is what 3823 02:32:03,429 --> 02:32:01,359 i'm doing with uh christina and uh two 3824 02:32:06,070 --> 02:32:03,439 garage we're actually looking at the 3825 02:32:08,710 --> 02:32:06,080 jesuit crazy delta and how we can access 3826 02:32:11,110 --> 02:32:08,720 the top carbonate bearing rocks uh that 3827 02:32:13,510 --> 02:32:11,120 might be nearby this is one of our map 3828 02:32:15,830 --> 02:32:13,520 products that we're uh working on here 3829 02:32:21,110 --> 02:32:15,840 we can see jesuit crater 3830 02:32:22,710 --> 02:32:21,120 in here and in green we see carbonate 3831 02:32:23,750 --> 02:32:22,720 harmony varying regions around the 3832 02:32:25,510 --> 02:32:23,760 crater 3833 02:32:26,550 --> 02:32:25,520 creating this this very interesting 3834 02:32:28,230 --> 02:32:26,560 layer 3835 02:32:30,469 --> 02:32:28,240 that's uh 3836 02:32:31,830 --> 02:32:30,479 near the delta but not lying on top of 3837 02:32:34,950 --> 02:32:31,840 the delta 3838 02:32:36,950 --> 02:32:34,960 and and the key point is that 3839 02:32:39,670 --> 02:32:36,960 up in the left 3840 02:32:41,990 --> 02:32:39,680 okay up on the left hand side is this 3841 02:32:44,309 --> 02:32:42,000 tower varying area up here and that's in 3842 02:32:45,590 --> 02:32:44,319 the watershed for the crater 3843 02:32:47,110 --> 02:32:45,600 we're interested in finding out what 3844 02:32:49,190 --> 02:32:47,120 lies in between 3845 02:33:04,870 --> 02:32:49,200 uh the crater and that that 3846 02:33:09,429 --> 02:33:07,110 thanks very much uh next is uh julie 3847 02:33:11,670 --> 02:33:09,439 castillo 3848 02:33:15,590 --> 02:33:11,680 hey hi 3849 02:33:21,270 --> 02:33:18,790 um as expected mark did a very i mean an 3850 02:33:23,349 --> 02:33:21,280 excellent review of the state obviously 3851 02:33:25,270 --> 02:33:23,359 in the area of 3852 02:33:27,910 --> 02:33:25,280 what we have learned from the appearance 3853 02:33:30,790 --> 02:33:27,920 and how it compared against tradition 3854 02:33:32,150 --> 02:33:30,800 so going to the second slide i'm 3855 02:33:36,710 --> 02:33:32,160 just going to 3856 02:33:42,389 --> 02:33:39,590 can you hear me okay 3857 02:33:44,950 --> 02:33:42,399 dan revealed that stereocystic surface 3858 02:33:47,030 --> 02:33:44,960 is covered by 3859 02:33:50,230 --> 02:33:47,040 hydraulic accuracy as a hydrated 3860 02:33:54,550 --> 02:33:52,550 ammonite clay serpentine and carbonate 3861 02:33:56,630 --> 02:33:54,560 and this in a crazy 3862 02:33:58,309 --> 02:33:56,640 uniform manner 3863 02:34:00,790 --> 02:33:58,319 and 3864 02:34:02,710 --> 02:34:00,800 which is very important that luckily 3865 02:34:04,469 --> 02:34:02,720 there are bright parts 3866 02:34:07,190 --> 02:34:04,479 of 3867 02:34:11,030 --> 02:34:07,200 carbonates especially sodium carbonates 3868 02:34:13,670 --> 02:34:11,040 and ammonium salts as mark said and this 3869 02:34:15,670 --> 02:34:13,680 comp you know this composition compares 3870 02:34:16,950 --> 02:34:15,680 very well with what has been found out 3871 02:34:19,670 --> 02:34:16,960 on studies 3872 02:34:21,190 --> 02:34:19,680 and also on earth we have in the uh 3873 02:34:23,030 --> 02:34:21,200 volcanic left we find similar 3874 02:34:24,309 --> 02:34:23,040 compositions like the experts in 3875 02:34:26,070 --> 02:34:24,319 california 3876 02:34:28,550 --> 02:34:26,080 another important result from the don 3877 02:34:30,950 --> 02:34:28,560 mission is a measurement of the amount 3878 02:34:34,150 --> 02:34:30,960 of iron on the surface 3879 02:34:36,550 --> 02:34:34,160 which is like this low vertex 3880 02:34:37,990 --> 02:34:36,560 usually measured on ci and cm called 3881 02:34:39,190 --> 02:34:38,000 right stands to observe that there has 3882 02:34:43,030 --> 02:34:39,200 been some 3883 02:34:47,110 --> 02:34:43,040 differentiation physical differentiation 3884 02:34:49,349 --> 02:34:47,120 of cyrus's material and so both 3885 02:34:52,710 --> 02:34:49,359 those types of observations mineralogy 3886 02:34:56,150 --> 02:34:52,720 and elemental suggest that cirrus was 3887 02:34:57,750 --> 02:34:56,160 subject to extensive global hydrothermal 3888 02:34:59,670 --> 02:34:57,760 circulation 3889 02:35:02,070 --> 02:34:59,680 and here is this plot again from young 3890 02:35:03,910 --> 02:35:02,080 air sergeant entry that shows up in a 3891 02:35:05,590 --> 02:35:03,920 body that is relatively large beyond a 3892 02:35:09,270 --> 02:35:05,600 few hundred kilometers 3893 02:35:12,309 --> 02:35:09,280 uh you can have multi-pass flow 3894 02:35:15,750 --> 02:35:12,319 especially if early on you had a global 3895 02:35:17,830 --> 02:35:15,760 melting event driven by addition 3896 02:35:20,870 --> 02:35:17,840 and in smaller bodies you have only a 3897 02:35:28,309 --> 02:35:20,880 single fast flow or even 3898 02:35:31,670 --> 02:35:29,429 quickly 3899 02:35:33,830 --> 02:35:31,680 just to point out that looking at just 3900 02:35:36,070 --> 02:35:33,840 at the surface mineology we can infer 3901 02:35:38,870 --> 02:35:36,080 constraints on the conditions of cirrus 3902 02:35:41,190 --> 02:35:38,880 early ocean the ammonite clays are 3903 02:35:44,070 --> 02:35:41,200 really a strong diagnostic 3904 02:35:45,670 --> 02:35:44,080 of these conditions they require some 3905 02:35:47,110 --> 02:35:45,680 relatively high partial pressure of 3906 02:35:49,110 --> 02:35:47,120 hydrogen 3907 02:35:50,710 --> 02:35:49,120 um which 3908 02:35:52,550 --> 02:35:50,720 which tells us that the material that we 3909 02:35:54,710 --> 02:35:52,560 find on stereotype surfaces form that 3910 02:35:58,309 --> 02:35:54,720 depth and were excavated by some global 3911 02:36:00,230 --> 02:35:58,319 mechanisms that we are trying to 3912 02:36:01,429 --> 02:36:00,240 identify 3913 02:36:06,389 --> 02:36:01,439 and 3914 02:36:10,070 --> 02:36:08,630 exchanges with captions 3915 02:36:11,030 --> 02:36:10,080 would stick to the production of 3916 02:36:12,870 --> 02:36:11,040 thoughts 3917 02:36:14,630 --> 02:36:12,880 and as much mercy the temperatures in 3918 02:36:17,270 --> 02:36:14,640 the early oceans were like your left to 3919 02:36:18,710 --> 02:36:17,280 be on the colder times admired by the 3920 02:36:21,670 --> 02:36:18,720 three 3921 02:36:23,270 --> 02:36:21,680 close to a ten or twenty digital system 3922 02:36:25,910 --> 02:36:23,280 and then the carbonate the fact that we 3923 02:36:29,349 --> 02:36:25,920 have two types of carbonate 3924 02:36:31,750 --> 02:36:29,359 magnesium calcium and 3925 02:36:35,830 --> 02:36:31,760 i could use with the 3926 02:36:37,910 --> 02:36:35,840 vr maybe you could help you have my 3927 02:36:42,070 --> 02:36:37,920 and dolomite on the surface 3928 02:36:44,630 --> 02:36:42,080 you have good bicarbonate in solution 3929 02:36:45,590 --> 02:36:44,640 forming the dry spot 3930 02:36:47,670 --> 02:36:45,600 sodium 3931 02:37:02,950 --> 02:36:47,680 carbonate or bicarbonate 3932 02:37:07,190 --> 02:37:04,710 there should be a lot of methane 3933 02:37:09,190 --> 02:37:07,200 solution that then form 3934 02:37:11,510 --> 02:37:09,200 uh classrooms 3935 02:37:13,830 --> 02:37:11,520 just to point out and maybe 3936 02:37:14,950 --> 02:37:13,840 there's a lot of information each of the 3937 02:37:17,590 --> 02:37:14,960 volume 3938 02:37:19,990 --> 02:37:17,600 fraction of uh 3939 02:37:21,750 --> 02:37:20,000 a consequence of accurate saturations 3940 02:37:24,550 --> 02:37:21,760 for various assumptions on the water to 3941 02:37:26,389 --> 02:37:24,560 work ratio and the the amount of certain 3942 02:37:28,950 --> 02:37:26,399 volatiles in solution 3943 02:37:30,630 --> 02:37:28,960 ammonia and co2 and what you see is that 3944 02:37:32,630 --> 02:37:30,640 for five percent of 3945 02:37:35,590 --> 02:37:32,640 weight percent of ammonia and 28 percent 3946 02:37:38,469 --> 02:37:35,600 of co2 are created early and you can 3947 02:37:42,070 --> 02:37:38,479 reproduce the compositions uh detected 3948 02:37:46,070 --> 02:37:43,830 the composition of the surface measured 3949 02:37:48,230 --> 02:37:46,080 by the donation and especially you you 3950 02:37:49,910 --> 02:37:48,240 can match your issue then of certain 3951 02:37:51,270 --> 02:37:49,920 times to plays 3952 02:37:52,630 --> 02:37:51,280 and um 3953 02:37:55,030 --> 02:37:52,640 and carbonx 3954 02:37:55,990 --> 02:37:55,040 if you do the opposite you have more you 3955 02:37:58,150 --> 02:37:56,000 form 3956 02:38:00,710 --> 02:37:58,160 you have more co2 unless ammonia you 3957 02:38:03,429 --> 02:38:00,720 find something that is very efficient 3958 02:38:05,750 --> 02:38:03,439 where you cannot form as much certain 3959 02:38:06,870 --> 02:38:05,760 time you form a lot 3960 02:38:09,349 --> 02:38:06,880 yeah i run 3961 02:38:10,070 --> 02:38:09,359 from a lot of carbonate and the iron 3962 02:38:13,110 --> 02:38:10,080 uh 3963 02:38:15,830 --> 02:38:13,120 goes presidentially with the carbonate 3964 02:38:17,990 --> 02:38:15,840 and what we find in the end is the 3965 02:38:19,750 --> 02:38:18,000 future that is very different from what 3966 02:38:21,590 --> 02:38:19,760 don observed and that is important 3967 02:38:24,230 --> 02:38:21,600 because we can i think we can put a 3968 02:38:25,590 --> 02:38:24,240 constraint on the early 3969 02:38:38,630 --> 02:38:25,600 superposition of the aggregated 3970 02:38:43,349 --> 02:38:40,870 um and that is going to be important 3971 02:38:45,270 --> 02:38:43,359 because um there is reaching of 3972 02:38:47,429 --> 02:38:45,280 potassium especially 3973 02:38:49,910 --> 02:38:47,439 from the rock we need to 3974 02:38:51,190 --> 02:38:49,920 to revisit the models of these objects 3975 02:38:53,670 --> 02:38:51,200 entirely 3976 02:38:55,910 --> 02:38:53,680 in order to 3977 02:38:57,349 --> 02:38:55,920 account for the displacement of the heat 3978 02:38:58,630 --> 02:38:57,359 store 3979 02:39:00,309 --> 02:38:58,640 the fact that there are a lot of points 3980 02:39:02,710 --> 02:39:00,319 in solution also suggest that there 3981 02:39:05,830 --> 02:39:02,720 should be a steel liquid water 3982 02:39:08,230 --> 02:39:05,840 in terraces today you'll see at ltfc and 3983 02:39:10,870 --> 02:39:08,240 upcycle that we have some 3984 02:39:12,870 --> 02:39:10,880 represents of liquid at that extensive 3985 02:39:14,550 --> 02:39:12,880 liquid at depth and that is the 3986 02:39:17,910 --> 02:39:14,560 fascinating resource 3987 02:39:19,429 --> 02:39:17,920 and we look forward to seeing that 3988 02:39:21,510 --> 02:39:19,439 yeah yeah 3989 02:39:23,510 --> 02:39:21,520 and then i just want to encourage more 3990 02:39:26,469 --> 02:39:23,520 you know interaction between the 3991 02:39:27,510 --> 02:39:26,479 icu moon community and cirrus there is a 3992 02:39:30,630 --> 02:39:27,520 lot of 3993 02:39:31,750 --> 02:39:30,640 things to learn from both communities 3994 02:39:33,030 --> 02:39:31,760 and cirrus 3995 02:39:34,710 --> 02:39:33,040 close to earth it does have the 3996 02:39:38,870 --> 02:39:34,720 playground for testing hypothesis 3997 02:39:43,429 --> 02:39:38,880 developed for ocean work thank you 3998 02:39:45,910 --> 02:39:43,439 great thanks very much um so we'll uh 3999 02:39:47,510 --> 02:39:45,920 penny morel 4000 02:39:48,870 --> 02:39:47,520 hi penny 4001 02:39:50,389 --> 02:39:48,880 hi 4002 02:39:52,389 --> 02:39:50,399 can you hear me 4003 02:39:54,550 --> 02:39:52,399 you can hear me really well yeah 4004 02:39:55,990 --> 02:39:54,560 okay perfect 4005 02:39:57,830 --> 02:39:56,000 may i start 4006 02:40:00,230 --> 02:39:57,840 please go for it 4007 02:40:02,070 --> 02:40:00,240 okay um first of all i want to say thank 4008 02:40:03,830 --> 02:40:02,080 you to jen blank who told me about this 4009 02:40:05,670 --> 02:40:03,840 workshop and who suggested highly 4010 02:40:06,469 --> 02:40:05,680 encouraged that that i give a pop-up 4011 02:40:08,550 --> 02:40:06,479 talk 4012 02:40:10,469 --> 02:40:08,560 i was inspired to give one uh based on 4013 02:40:13,510 --> 02:40:10,479 tuesday's results um where 4014 02:40:15,590 --> 02:40:13,520 microbiologists presented data both from 4015 02:40:17,750 --> 02:40:15,600 the tablelands and the cedars 4016 02:40:19,750 --> 02:40:17,760 uh and these are both ophelites in north 4017 02:40:21,990 --> 02:40:19,760 america you can see from my map and i 4018 02:40:24,870 --> 02:40:22,000 thought i would give a bio geochemist 4019 02:40:26,630 --> 02:40:24,880 perspective of these two sites 4020 02:40:28,630 --> 02:40:26,640 first of all they're both 4021 02:40:30,630 --> 02:40:28,640 ophelites they both have ultramafics 4022 02:40:33,349 --> 02:40:30,640 that are being altered by groundwater 4023 02:40:36,550 --> 02:40:33,359 they both have springs uh ultra basic 4024 02:40:40,870 --> 02:40:36,560 ultra mafic ultra basic composition so 4025 02:40:42,309 --> 02:40:40,880 high ph's uh ph 11s and 12s uh the 4026 02:40:43,830 --> 02:40:42,319 cedars let me see if i can use my 4027 02:40:45,349 --> 02:40:43,840 pointer here 4028 02:40:48,870 --> 02:40:45,359 uh did that work 4029 02:40:52,150 --> 02:40:48,880 maybe not okay the cedars has ph 4030 02:40:54,870 --> 02:40:52,160 again 11 or 12. so it has a bubbles with 4031 02:40:55,910 --> 02:40:54,880 uh hydrogen and methane while the table 4032 02:40:58,469 --> 02:40:55,920 lands we're doing with lower 4033 02:41:00,710 --> 02:40:58,479 concentration of uh dissolved 4034 02:41:02,550 --> 02:41:00,720 concentrations of methane and hydrogen 4035 02:41:04,070 --> 02:41:02,560 we heard from billy brazelton and matt 4036 02:41:06,070 --> 02:41:04,080 shrank 4037 02:41:07,110 --> 02:41:06,080 about how both these sites are similar 4038 02:41:11,429 --> 02:41:07,120 they've got 4039 02:41:15,349 --> 02:41:11,439 hydrogenophaga 4040 02:41:17,590 --> 02:41:15,359 shino suzuki published about the 4041 02:41:19,110 --> 02:41:17,600 serpentimonous at both sides 4042 02:41:20,550 --> 02:41:19,120 and so on the surface you may think 4043 02:41:23,110 --> 02:41:20,560 these sites are very similar but the 4044 02:41:24,710 --> 02:41:23,120 take-home message from my pop-up talk is 4045 02:41:26,630 --> 02:41:24,720 that they're actually quite different 4046 02:41:28,550 --> 02:41:26,640 from a bio-geochemistry perspective 4047 02:41:30,230 --> 02:41:28,560 specifically in the type of carbon that 4048 02:41:31,830 --> 02:41:30,240 the microbes can use and and the 4049 02:41:33,030 --> 02:41:31,840 products that are produced 4050 02:41:35,349 --> 02:41:33,040 so why don't we start with methane 4051 02:41:38,870 --> 02:41:35,359 because we all like to look at methane 4052 02:41:40,630 --> 02:41:38,880 how do i change the slide 4053 02:41:42,950 --> 02:41:40,640 as you just want to click the right 4054 02:41:45,830 --> 02:41:42,960 arrow icon that's in the bottom left of 4055 02:41:49,190 --> 02:41:45,840 your slides there 4056 02:41:50,630 --> 02:41:49,200 excellent so one classic way of sourcing 4057 02:41:53,190 --> 02:41:50,640 methane is to look at the carbon 4058 02:41:55,590 --> 02:41:53,200 hydrogen isotope values of those methane 4059 02:41:57,750 --> 02:41:55,600 of the methane and so i've got um 4060 02:41:59,670 --> 02:41:57,760 on the left hand plot a cd plot 4061 02:42:01,670 --> 02:41:59,680 hydrogenized methane versus carbonized 4062 02:42:03,269 --> 02:42:01,680 types of methane and on the right hand 4063 02:42:05,110 --> 02:42:03,279 side i've got a bernard plot which just 4064 02:42:08,550 --> 02:42:05,120 looks at the ratio of methane to ethane 4065 02:42:10,389 --> 02:42:08,560 propane butane divided by or plotted 4066 02:42:13,830 --> 02:42:10,399 against the carbonized total values of 4067 02:42:16,630 --> 02:42:13,840 methane the blue fuzzy areas represent 4068 02:42:19,510 --> 02:42:16,640 vaguely a field for microbial methane 4069 02:42:21,910 --> 02:42:19,520 the orange represents a vague field for 4070 02:42:23,830 --> 02:42:21,920 thermogenic and i don't have a biogenic 4071 02:42:25,910 --> 02:42:23,840 plotted on these but 4072 02:42:28,630 --> 02:42:25,920 great review by sherwood lawler by 4073 02:42:30,230 --> 02:42:28,640 etopian gerald lawler in 2013 puts the 4074 02:42:32,230 --> 02:42:30,240 methanol on the seeding plot on the 4075 02:42:34,469 --> 02:42:32,240 right hand side overlapping both the 4076 02:42:35,830 --> 02:42:34,479 thermogenic and the 4077 02:42:38,710 --> 02:42:35,840 microbial 4078 02:42:41,670 --> 02:42:38,720 let's look at the methane at these sites 4079 02:42:44,309 --> 02:42:41,680 the table lands plots in an area not 4080 02:42:45,990 --> 02:42:44,319 microbial we call it non-microbial 4081 02:42:50,710 --> 02:42:46,000 methane 4082 02:42:52,830 --> 02:42:50,720 while the table well the cedars plots in 4083 02:42:55,750 --> 02:42:52,840 some of the springs methane plot end of 4084 02:42:57,590 --> 02:42:55,760 antimicrobial area while we also have 4085 02:42:59,590 --> 02:42:57,600 other springs that suggest 4086 02:43:01,830 --> 02:42:59,600 that we have mixing between a microbial 4087 02:43:05,190 --> 02:43:01,840 and a non-microbial source 4088 02:43:06,710 --> 02:43:05,200 isotopes are just an indirect indicator 4089 02:43:08,790 --> 02:43:06,720 of the source of methane so we want to 4090 02:43:10,469 --> 02:43:08,800 look at something a little more direct 4091 02:43:12,790 --> 02:43:10,479 and so we wanted to see if we could make 4092 02:43:15,269 --> 02:43:12,800 microbial methane in the laboratory 4093 02:43:17,990 --> 02:43:15,279 using materials from both of these sites 4094 02:43:19,910 --> 02:43:18,000 and so we take water and 4095 02:43:22,150 --> 02:43:19,920 sediments from the bottom of 4096 02:43:24,870 --> 02:43:22,160 the pools where these springs come up 4097 02:43:26,469 --> 02:43:24,880 and we did experiments where we fed uh 4098 02:43:28,790 --> 02:43:26,479 different microbes but different 4099 02:43:29,990 --> 02:43:28,800 substrates like bicarbonate formate and 4100 02:43:30,790 --> 02:43:30,000 acetate 4101 02:43:33,750 --> 02:43:30,800 we 4102 02:43:35,269 --> 02:43:33,760 have um 4103 02:43:36,950 --> 02:43:35,279 and then we we look for the products 4104 02:43:38,630 --> 02:43:36,960 that are being formed and so the table 4105 02:43:40,150 --> 02:43:38,640 lands we saw no difference between our 4106 02:43:42,230 --> 02:43:40,160 live controls and our kill controls 4107 02:43:44,389 --> 02:43:42,240 which basically uh confirmed that we 4108 02:43:45,590 --> 02:43:44,399 weren't able to make microbial methane 4109 02:43:47,670 --> 02:43:45,600 in the lab 4110 02:43:50,790 --> 02:43:47,680 but the cds was a different story we 4111 02:43:53,110 --> 02:43:50,800 found elevated concentrations of 4112 02:43:55,830 --> 02:43:53,120 methane in the live versus the killed 4113 02:43:58,070 --> 02:43:55,840 controls and in the c13 labeled 4114 02:43:59,990 --> 02:43:58,080 experiments we saw methane that was 4115 02:44:02,309 --> 02:44:00,000 enriched in c13 which was an indicator 4116 02:44:05,030 --> 02:44:02,319 that we were getting microbial methane 4117 02:44:07,510 --> 02:44:05,040 from or within all the um 4118 02:44:09,190 --> 02:44:07,520 uh all the incubations that we that we 4119 02:44:11,590 --> 02:44:09,200 that we studied 4120 02:44:13,990 --> 02:44:11,600 i'm wondering what happens if i do this 4121 02:44:15,910 --> 02:44:14,000 oh oh there we go okay um so this just 4122 02:44:18,630 --> 02:44:15,920 shows in our kill controls uh the 4123 02:44:20,950 --> 02:44:18,640 methane has the exact same isotope value 4124 02:44:22,389 --> 02:44:20,960 um and in our 4125 02:44:24,469 --> 02:44:22,399 our isotope control so this is 4126 02:44:28,070 --> 02:44:24,479 non-isotopically labeled experiments we 4127 02:44:29,429 --> 02:44:28,080 had depleted uh c13 values 4128 02:44:32,469 --> 02:44:29,439 and then 4129 02:44:34,790 --> 02:44:32,479 there we go that listener 4130 02:44:37,110 --> 02:44:34,800 okay perfect so we're seeing enriched 4131 02:44:38,469 --> 02:44:37,120 methane great at the cedars but not the 4132 02:44:40,630 --> 02:44:38,479 tablelands 4133 02:44:42,550 --> 02:44:40,640 um on tuesday we were also talking about 4134 02:44:45,670 --> 02:44:42,560 acetogenesis so i wanted to show you 4135 02:44:48,150 --> 02:44:45,680 that we did find microbial voa 4136 02:44:51,349 --> 02:44:48,160 volatile organic acid production in the 4137 02:44:54,790 --> 02:44:51,359 live versus the the killed and then as i 4138 02:44:56,790 --> 02:44:54,800 zoom through this speedy talk 4139 02:44:58,950 --> 02:44:56,800 everett shock also talked about the 4140 02:45:01,590 --> 02:44:58,960 possibility of microbialization of 4141 02:45:02,870 --> 02:45:01,600 carbon monoxide and so we did those 4142 02:45:04,550 --> 02:45:02,880 experiments as well both of the 4143 02:45:06,150 --> 02:45:04,560 tablelands and the cedars and the data 4144 02:45:08,230 --> 02:45:06,160 here shown from the table lands where we 4145 02:45:11,110 --> 02:45:08,240 did get carbon monoxide utilization but 4146 02:45:12,389 --> 02:45:11,120 we did not get it at the cedars so the 4147 02:45:13,590 --> 02:45:12,399 take home 4148 02:45:15,510 --> 02:45:13,600 point from my talk is just that these 4149 02:45:17,190 --> 02:45:15,520 sites are extremely um different 4150 02:45:19,830 --> 02:45:17,200 biogeochemically and these are just 4151 02:45:21,670 --> 02:45:19,840 looking at ophelites um uh 4152 02:45:23,590 --> 02:45:21,680 we have we're not even talking about the 4153 02:45:25,910 --> 02:45:23,600 dispensation in the ocean or 4154 02:45:29,510 --> 02:45:25,920 spentanization happening in ultramasic 4155 02:45:31,670 --> 02:45:29,520 in say like procambium rocks um so 4156 02:45:33,750 --> 02:45:31,680 and all of these sites have potential to 4157 02:45:35,510 --> 02:45:33,760 have biogenic signatures abiogenic 4158 02:45:37,670 --> 02:45:35,520 signatures and we should be using these 4159 02:45:39,030 --> 02:45:37,680 sites to look for the preservation of 4160 02:45:40,309 --> 02:45:39,040 those signatures 4161 02:45:43,670 --> 02:45:40,319 that's it 4162 02:45:46,550 --> 02:45:45,670 all right well thanks so much um i'm 4163 02:45:48,309 --> 02:45:46,560 gonna 4164 02:45:52,070 --> 02:45:48,319 take the last minute to send it back to 4165 02:45:56,070 --> 02:45:53,830 great uh thank you steve thanks to all 4166 02:45:57,429 --> 02:45:56,080 of our speakers for the day 4167 02:45:59,830 --> 02:45:57,439 i thought that we should wrap up the 4168 02:46:01,670 --> 02:45:59,840 workshop just by revisiting uh the 4169 02:46:03,590 --> 02:46:01,680 perspective that alexis supplied at the 4170 02:46:05,830 --> 02:46:03,600 very beginning which is uh why did we do 4171 02:46:09,110 --> 02:46:05,840 this in the first place and really 4172 02:46:10,790 --> 02:46:09,120 this workshop comes about as a result of 4173 02:46:13,110 --> 02:46:10,800 recognizing that we've had something 4174 02:46:15,110 --> 02:46:13,120 like a decade now or so worth of of 4175 02:46:17,030 --> 02:46:15,120 interest and work done in an 4176 02:46:19,269 --> 02:46:17,040 astrobiological context on 4177 02:46:21,349 --> 02:46:19,279 serpentinizing systems and so 4178 02:46:23,269 --> 02:46:21,359 um as we step back and take a look at 4179 02:46:26,230 --> 02:46:23,279 that work and in particular a lot of the 4180 02:46:27,590 --> 02:46:26,240 exciting new results um you know that 4181 02:46:30,469 --> 02:46:27,600 have we changed our perspective on 4182 02:46:32,070 --> 02:46:30,479 serpentinizing systems as as a target of 4183 02:46:33,750 --> 02:46:32,080 astrobiology in particular are there 4184 02:46:35,990 --> 02:46:33,760 things that we've learned 4185 02:46:38,070 --> 02:46:36,000 that help inform us better 4186 02:46:41,030 --> 02:46:38,080 about the habitability of these systems 4187 02:46:43,349 --> 02:46:41,040 and for me one uh exciting aspect of 4188 02:46:45,590 --> 02:46:43,359 this is a lot of what we heard here 4189 02:46:47,429 --> 02:46:45,600 considers serpentinization 4190 02:46:49,830 --> 02:46:47,439 as a process and i think that's really 4191 02:46:51,910 --> 02:46:49,840 important as we 4192 02:46:53,990 --> 02:46:51,920 evolve our perspective of habitability 4193 02:46:56,710 --> 02:46:54,000 not as a not as a snapshot of current 4194 02:46:59,110 --> 02:46:56,720 conditions but as a as an evolution of 4195 02:47:01,030 --> 02:46:59,120 conditions uh through time and so i 4196 02:47:02,870 --> 02:47:01,040 think it's really valuable to 4197 02:47:05,030 --> 02:47:02,880 uh consider how to consider 4198 02:47:07,110 --> 02:47:05,040 serpentinization as a process 4199 02:47:08,710 --> 02:47:07,120 applied to habitability and the other 4200 02:47:10,469 --> 02:47:08,720 thing is we wanted to to integrate 4201 02:47:12,150 --> 02:47:10,479 perspective so we purposely constructed 4202 02:47:13,190 --> 02:47:12,160 this workshop in a way that that 4203 02:47:15,670 --> 02:47:13,200 included 4204 02:47:17,750 --> 02:47:15,680 uh or hopefully spanned from biological 4205 02:47:19,750 --> 02:47:17,760 to planetary perspectives and one thing 4206 02:47:21,670 --> 02:47:19,760 i at least was very struck by in the 4207 02:47:24,630 --> 02:47:21,680 talks today 4208 02:47:26,630 --> 02:47:24,640 is in part uh how 4209 02:47:28,790 --> 02:47:26,640 how much the planetary sciences folks 4210 02:47:31,269 --> 02:47:28,800 are obligated to do with relatively 4211 02:47:33,030 --> 02:47:31,279 limited data but also how much they're 4212 02:47:34,630 --> 02:47:33,040 able to do with that limited data so i 4213 02:47:36,150 --> 02:47:34,640 think there's a remarkable level of 4214 02:47:39,110 --> 02:47:36,160 inference and constraint that can be 4215 02:47:41,910 --> 02:47:39,120 drawn from from what are often sort of 4216 02:47:44,309 --> 02:47:41,920 uh you know distant uh data sets of 4217 02:47:46,790 --> 02:47:44,319 imagery or spectroscopy 4218 02:47:48,950 --> 02:47:46,800 can we extend that inference all the way 4219 02:47:51,110 --> 02:47:48,960 down into the biological so can we take 4220 02:47:53,269 --> 02:47:51,120 the sorts of data that we're seeing from 4221 02:47:54,550 --> 02:47:53,279 from spacecraft as we explore the solar 4222 02:47:56,550 --> 02:47:54,560 system 4223 02:47:58,309 --> 02:47:56,560 and begin to integrate biological and 4224 02:48:00,950 --> 02:47:58,319 geochemical perspectives as well to come 4225 02:48:03,429 --> 02:48:00,960 up with a sort of holistic picture so 4226 02:48:05,030 --> 02:48:03,439 um these are things that that we hope to 4227 02:48:07,349 --> 02:48:05,040 sort of capture i think these are things 4228 02:48:09,750 --> 02:48:07,359 that the nasa astrobiology institute is 4229 02:48:12,790 --> 02:48:09,760 is interested in understanding as a as a 4230 02:48:14,630 --> 02:48:12,800 statement of community uh perception um 4231 02:48:16,950 --> 02:48:14,640 at this point in time and so we 4232 02:48:19,110 --> 02:48:16,960 encourage you to if if you have any 4233 02:48:21,910 --> 02:48:19,120 insights that have resulted from the 4234 02:48:23,750 --> 02:48:21,920 last couple of days of workshop um 4235 02:48:25,590 --> 02:48:23,760 please help supply them and and in the 4236 02:48:27,190 --> 02:48:25,600 beginning we suggested that any such 4237 02:48:29,910 --> 02:48:27,200 insights could be emailed to chen maybe 4238 02:48:32,469 --> 02:48:29,920 jen will supply her uh her email address 4239 02:48:35,030 --> 02:48:32,479 again so that um this can be an ongoing 4240 02:48:36,550 --> 02:48:35,040 process in which we consider continue to 4241 02:48:39,590 --> 02:48:36,560 sort of uh 4242 02:48:41,190 --> 02:48:39,600 pull in your perspectives um so and and 4243 02:48:43,190 --> 02:48:41,200 also just in bringing this to a close 4244 02:48:45,349 --> 02:48:43,200 there are a number of people to thank in 4245 02:48:47,990 --> 02:48:45,359 all of this first i really would like to 4246 02:48:50,230 --> 02:48:48,000 thank all of you for participating so i 4247 02:48:52,070 --> 02:48:50,240 know we had people tuned in from around 4248 02:48:54,870 --> 02:48:52,080 the world um 4249 02:48:57,830 --> 02:48:54,880 we bounced i think between sort of 50 60 4250 02:48:59,429 --> 02:48:57,840 to sometimes as many as 100 participants 4251 02:49:00,950 --> 02:48:59,439 i think that was awesome and what i 4252 02:49:03,110 --> 02:49:00,960 really was 4253 02:49:04,950 --> 02:49:03,120 gratified by is the the level of 4254 02:49:06,630 --> 02:49:04,960 interaction amongst people i i thought 4255 02:49:07,830 --> 02:49:06,640 it was just really fantastic the extent 4256 02:49:10,630 --> 02:49:07,840 to which people chimed in and 4257 02:49:13,349 --> 02:49:10,640 participated uh in this process and made 4258 02:49:15,030 --> 02:49:13,359 it a dialogue not just a monologue so um 4259 02:49:16,710 --> 02:49:15,040 thank you all very much for that 4260 02:49:20,230 --> 02:49:16,720 participation 4261 02:49:23,830 --> 02:49:20,240 um thanks very much to nai uh to estelle 4262 02:49:25,990 --> 02:49:23,840 and to mike and to uh to sam 4263 02:49:27,910 --> 02:49:26,000 from my perspective this really felt 4264 02:49:30,630 --> 02:49:27,920 seamless and i think it's remarkable 4265 02:49:32,630 --> 02:49:30,640 that we had 100 people distributed at 4266 02:49:34,870 --> 02:49:32,640 their own individual computers around 4267 02:49:36,870 --> 02:49:34,880 the world and yet it felt like many of 4268 02:49:39,030 --> 02:49:36,880 you were here in the room and 4269 02:49:42,790 --> 02:49:39,040 um you know that didn't just happen 4270 02:49:44,630 --> 02:49:42,800 that's a result of of the 4271 02:49:46,870 --> 02:49:44,640 the really excellent management of this 4272 02:49:48,309 --> 02:49:46,880 event by the nai folks so thanks to all 4273 02:49:51,750 --> 02:49:48,319 of you thank you i feel like it was a 4274 02:49:53,349 --> 02:49:51,760 really really well done thing um 4275 02:49:55,590 --> 02:49:53,359 thank you very much to all of our 4276 02:49:57,429 --> 02:49:55,600 speakers to both our invited speakers 4277 02:49:59,990 --> 02:49:57,439 and to our pop-up speakers so to the 4278 02:50:01,990 --> 02:50:00,000 invited speakers um you all were chosen 4279 02:50:03,990 --> 02:50:02,000 because you represented the set of 4280 02:50:06,469 --> 02:50:04,000 perspectives that we hope to capture in 4281 02:50:08,230 --> 02:50:06,479 order to give a well-rounded perspective 4282 02:50:10,710 --> 02:50:08,240 and i don't think that this would have 4283 02:50:12,950 --> 02:50:10,720 come off as well uh had you not been 4284 02:50:15,510 --> 02:50:12,960 willing to do that and really thank you 4285 02:50:17,429 --> 02:50:15,520 also to the pop-up speakers um you know 4286 02:50:18,950 --> 02:50:17,439 we we sort of uh 4287 02:50:20,389 --> 02:50:18,960 put that out there in the hopes that 4288 02:50:22,389 --> 02:50:20,399 people would contribute and i was so 4289 02:50:23,990 --> 02:50:22,399 glad that that we got such a high level 4290 02:50:25,030 --> 02:50:24,000 of of interest and participation in 4291 02:50:27,750 --> 02:50:25,040 people willing to contribute 4292 02:50:29,030 --> 02:50:27,760 perspectives in what was a very 4293 02:50:30,550 --> 02:50:29,040 um 4294
