The Sol 3483 drive completed as planned, positioning the rover near several outcrops of knobby material and more "normal" looking bedrock. The tactical uplink team discussed various options and decided to focus this plan's observations on the knobby material. Unfortunately, timing constraints precluded an APXS integration today, as the instrument temperature would be too high to provide high-qua

Earth’s oceans are huge heat stores, soaking up 93% of the excess heat from human activity over the past 70 years. Ocean currents redistribute heat around the planet, from the Equator to the poles. Where this ocean heat goes influences weather patterns and regional climate. As well as absorbing heat, oceans are a natural carbon sink, absorbing a quarter of carbon dioxide emissions from human activity. This has led to the acidification of ocean water, threating marine life.
The amount of heat and carbon dioxide absorbed depends on a number of ocean variables, all of which can
