Mars topography (MOLA dataset) HiRes (1).jpg

Some Resources on Mars have been mapped using the gamma ray spectrometer instrument of Mars Odyssey[1].

Using the radiation signatures of elements with radioactive isotopes, maps of surface abundance of Thorium, Chlorine, Iron, Silicon, Potassium have been made.


Thorium abundance in ppm (parts per million)
Chlorine abundance. % weight
Iron abundance %weight
Silicon abundance %weight
Potassium abundance %weight
