FIRST USE OF AN AIRBORNE THERMAL-INFRARED HYPERSPECTRAL SCANNER FOR COMPOSITIONAL MAPPING
We are the only group testing TES interpretations using real-world data measured by an airborne spectrometer (hyperspectral)

Desert varnish vs. cooling rind
- A cooling rind signature can mimic desert varnish.

"Hematite region" on Mars could be a coating
- A region on Mars has been interpreted as containing coarse-grained hematite. We show that a hematite-rich coating is also a good match.

Results from an atmospheric compensation applied to TES
- A different type of atmospheric compensation applied to TES spectra indicate a greater presence of weathering products than from previous conclusions.
