- 1. Current enigmas identified by the Curiosity rover at the Gale crater Node I What sourced the enormous flows and volumes that formed the outflow channels and highland-margin contacts of ancient Mars? 2. The fluvial interpretation of outflow channels on Mars: landforms, processes and paleoenvironmental implications 3. Was there an early Mars ocean? 4. Dry megafloods on Mars: formation of the outflow channels by voluminous effusions of low viscosity lava Node II Can impact craters be used to derive reliable surface ages on Mars? 5. Challenges in crater chronology arising from the Jezero impact crater 6. The role of secondary craters on Martian crater chronology Node III The perplexing story of methane on Mars 7. Methane on Mars: subsurface sourcing and conflicting atmospheric measurements 8. A review of the meteor shower hypothesis for methane on Mars Node IV Does water flow on Martian slopes? 9. The possible role of water in recent surface-processes on Mars 10. Dry formation of recent Martian slope-features Node V Earth analogues for Mars - a plethora of choice! 11.
