Research summary
AI-generated

Clément Royer's work focuses on analyzing rocks and minerals on Mars, primarily using data from the SuperCam instrument aboard NASA's Perseverance rover in Jezero Crater. This research examines the chemical and mineral composition of Martian rocks to understand past water activity, volcanic processes, and the potential for preserved signs of ancient life. The group also contributes to instrument development and calibration for planetary missions such as ESA's JUICE mission to Jupiter's moons.
