Surface Morphologies in a Mars-Analog Ca-Sulfate Salar, High Andes, Northern Chile by Nancy W. Hinman, Michael H. Hofmann, Kimberly Warren-Rhodes, Michael S. Phillips, Nora Noffke, Nathalie A. Cabrol, Guillermo Chong Diaz, Cecilia Demergasso, Cinthya Tebes-Cayo, Oscar Cabestrero, Janice L. Bishop, Virginia C. Gulick, Virginia C. Gulick, David Summers, Pablo Sobron, Michael McInenly, Jeffrey Moersch, Constanza Rodriguez, Philippe Sarazzin, Kevin L. Rhodes, Camila Javiera Riffo Contreras, David Wettergreen, Victor Parro

“…Salar de Pajonales thus provides a unique window into what the last near-surface oases for microbial life on Mars could have been like in hypersaline environments as the climate changed and water disappeared from the surface. Here we open that climatological window by evaluating the narrative recorded in the salar surface morphology and microenvironments and extrapolating to similar paleosettings on Mars. …”

Calibration and Validation of CYGNSS Reflectivity through Wetlands’ and Deserts’ Dielectric Permittivity by Iñigo Molina, Andrés Calabia, Shuanggen Jin, Komi Edokossi, Xuerui Wu

“…However, calibration of GNSS-R reflectivity used in traditional inversion models is still a challenge, such as those to estimate SMC, freeze/thaw, or biomass. In this paper, a successful procedure for GNSS-R reflectivity calibration is established using data from the CYGNSS (Cyclone GNSS) constellation. …”

Behavior is movement only but how to interpret it? Problems and pitfalls in translational neuroscience—a 40-year experience by Hans-Peter Lipp, David P. Wolfer, David P. Wolfer

“…The predominant associative cortex in rodents is the hippocampus itself, orchestrating chiefly inputs from secondary sensorimotor areas and generating species-typical motor patterns that are not easily reconciled with putative human hippocampal functions. (3) Translational interpretation of studies of memory or emotionality often neglects the ecology of mice, an extremely small species surviving by freezing or flight reactions that do not need much cognitive processing. (4) Further misinterpretations arise from confounding neuronal properties with system properties, and from rigid mechanistic thinking unaware that many experimentally induced changes in the brain do partially reflect unpredictable compensatory plasticity. (5) Based on observing hippocampal lesion effects in mice indoors and outdoors, the article offers a simplistic general model of hippocampal functions in relation to hypothalamic input and output, placing hypothalamus and the supraspinal motor system at the top of a cerebral hierarchy. (6) Many translational problems could be avoided by inclusion of simple species-typical behaviors as end-points comparable to human cognitive or executive processing, and to rely more on artificial intelligence for recognizing patterns not classifiable by traditional psychological concepts.…”
