This year the Microsymposium will focus on Mars and the topics of geological evidence for climate change throughout its history and models for climate evolution. Recent results from Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions have provided abundant evidence for Amazonian climate change and a range of surficial deposits that may reflect this change. In addition, these same data are now providing clues as to where water might be sequestered, both mineralogically bound and as buried deposits. Combinations of altimetry, images, and physical, chemical and mineralogical properties are now being used to address ancient Hesperian and Noachian-aged climates on Mars.

The conference will last all the third week of September and will be focused on the results of 2004 Mars Exploration campaign and implication for future planning. The Italian Space Agency intends to offer to the international community, involved in the on going Martian missions, the occasion for an extensive presentation of the first results, but also the possibility of a round table confrontation of ideas and perspective for the next future of the scientific exploration of Mars.
