What can ancient rivers on Mars reveal about the planet's past and its potential for life? In this Hot Science - Cool Talks with Dr. Timothy Goudge, explore ancient rivers, catastrophic floods, and massive drainage systems on Mars, and how the planet's lack of plate tectonics shaped its unique landscape and potential for life. By studying relic rivers and water-shaped landscapes on Mars, scientists are uncovering clues about the planet's history and where life may once have had a chance to exist. After all, where waters flow, life often follows.
Arrive early and explore Cool Activities from 5:30 - 6:40! Local organizations will share exciting hands-on activities related to the talk!
Hot Science - Cool Talks provides a front-row seat to world-class research. Presented by the Environmental Science Institute (ESI) this nationally recognized series allows leading researchers from The University of Texas and other prominent universities to share their passion for science, technology, engineering, and math with the general public. Girl Scouts of Central Texas and University of Texas are working together to pre-register 30 Girl Scouts and adults for each "Hot Science" event.
