Objectives: Understanding the Martian surface environment in phyllosilicate-bearing localities. This includes identifying where and what kinds of phyllosilicates have been identified, how these relate to our knowledge from terrestrial sites and experimental results, and what we can expect to achieve with upcoming missions.Schedule:
August 12: Abstract deadline (2-pg LPSC-style abstract format), Young Researcher Travel Award Competition deadline
September 9: Program and abstracts available on LPI website
September 26: Pre-registration deadline (recommended to guarantee a space at workshop), limited on-site registration is possible, pending availability
