Research summary

Brittan Wogsland's research focuses on the geology, mineralogy, and astrobiological potential of Mars, primarily based on data from NASA's Perseverance rover exploring Jezero Crater. This work involves analyzing rock and sediment samples to understand ancient river and lake environments, mineral chemistry, and the possible preservation of organic matter that could inform the search for past life on Mars. The research combines planetary science with sedimentology (the study of layered rock deposits) and spectroscopic techniques like Raman spectroscopy to distinguish geological processes and evaluate signs of biological versus non-biological origins.

Publication activity was minimal before 2021 but has grown substantially since, with a steady output of several papers per year from 2022 through 2025, coinciding with active involvement in the Mars Perseverance rover mission.
