P. Sinha studies the polar regions of Mars, focusing on the icy and sediment-rich layers found at the north and south poles known as polar layered deposits. This work examines the mineral and rock fragments (lithics) embedded in these ice layers to understand past volcanic eruptions and meteorite impacts on Mars, which can help date and interpret the planet's climate history.
