+Some Resources on Mars have been mapped using the  gamma ray spectrometer  instrument of Mars Odyssey<ref>https://grs.lpl.arizona.edu/latestresults.jsp?lrid=34</ref>.  [[Cosmic radiation | Cosmic rays]] activate atoms on the surface, which emit gamma rays at specific frequencies based on the element.  This instrument detects surface deposits, and does not show deeper ore bodies.
 Using the radiation signatures of [[Elements on Mars|elements]] with radioactive isotopes, maps of surface abundance of [[Hydrogen|water (Hydrogen)]], [[Thorium]], [[Chlorine]], [[Iron]], [[Silicon]], [[Potassium]] have been made.
