algorimancer : " I don't suppose there's any chance that all the sessions will be recorded and made available for download somewhere on the web?"

elakdawalla : " I think it's safe to say there is absolutely zero chance of that."



I have to (sort of) disagree. Check out this link for the first workshop:

http://marsoweb.nas.nasa.gov/landingsites/...op/program.html

It's very likely that we will get exactly the same for the second. Not a recording, but the next best thing.

Jean-Pierre Bibring (OMEGA's PI) will focus his presentation on three specific locations:
Mawrth Vallis, Nili Fossae and Meridiani.
He will try to convince the others that that geomorphological context is not sufficient enough for the choice of an MSL valuable site and that the choice must come also from additional mineralogical information (he gives emphasis to the phyllosilicates...).
I'll try to get something more from inside...

EDITED: Since I've invited Bibring to talk about what will he be doing at the workshop why not invite...everyone? tongue.gif
Thomson (Gale Crater) and Hynek (East Meridiani) already showed up at this "gimme you best Mars!" kind of party, let's see if someone else follows them... wink.gif

Horton Newsom is proposing a new site at the workshop and he has just e-mailed me a view of it...I especially like to imagine MSL roving along Adrian's Wall feature in the center...
The choice is going to be hard... rolleyes.gif
