We will investigate the possibility of water on Mars from the inferential data. This data is in the form of graphics taken by the MOC and interpreted based on Earth's geological features.

Let's examine the evidence and see what conclusions we can draw.

1. The Case of the Missing Water on Mars

2. MOC Images Suggest Recent Sources of Liquid Water on Mars

3. Evidence of Water on Mars-Space.com

4. New Signs of Water on Mars Create Hope of a Great Discovery

5. Global Climatic Change on Mars

A University of Texas site begins your resources for the Origin of Life. A simple page with good links, it contains a small geological time scale.

CELLS:ORIGINS is a text page with chronological links that describe the basic scenario on the origin of Prokaryotic cells.

 

The Astrobiology Web is a world unto itself. It is on your Mars Resource page as a complete site for obvious reasons. The Exobiology and the Origin of Life page has many links, but the Origin and Evolution of Life on Earth and Elsewhere is the best.

Prokaryotic organisms on Earth live in an incredible number of different and often harsh environments. Life in Extreme Environments will link you to current information about these life forms and their relationship to the origin of life theory.
