The adventures of Curiosity in Gale crater, Mars | Sanjeev Gupta | TEDxImperialCollege

Ever wanted to explore Mars? Take a guided tour around Mars with Professor Gupta. Prof. Sanjeev Gupta is a geologist in the Department of Earth Science and Engineering at Imperial College. He is interested in the evolution of landscapes and the processes that shape them on Earth and Mars. He has studied sedimentary rock formations in places like the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt, and New Mexico, ancient river systems associated with the Indus Civilisation in India, and landscapes under the sea in the English Channel. He is a Co-Investigator on the Mastcam camera team on NASA's Mars Science Laboratory - the Curiosity rover - where his role is to analyse ancient sedimentary rocks on Mars and determine if the Red Planet could ever have been habitable for life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
