Adrian Broz studies the geology and past environments of Mars, particularly the sediments, sulfate minerals, and ancient soils explored by NASA's Perseverance rover in Jezero crater, using this to understand the planet's ancient climate and potential for preserving signs of past life. This work is closely tied to research on Earth analogs, such as ancient paleosols and rock deposits, to interpret Martian data by comparison with similar terrestrial processes and materials.
