My Research

Brian Hynek at work


All of my research revolves around water on Mars and its potential for life. I approach this problem from several aspects: terrestrial analog fieldwork, laboratory experiments, theoretical modeling, geologic mapping and analysis of new Mars data.

My students and I work on problems related to the hydrologic history of Mars, the impact cratering record and its volcanic evolution. Check out my curriculum vitae, my student's pages or some recent press releases related to my group's research:
