Raman spectroscopic peculiarities of Icelandic poorly crystalline minerals and their implications for Mars exploration

Abstract In this work, we have analyzed natural samples collected at three hydrothermal areas of Iceland by Raman spectroscopy. The studied high-latitude regions are considered environmentally and mineralogically appropriate Martian analogues since they are rich in weathered basalts that have been a...
