After it does that, it might prompt you to accept/trust the application, click the little box that says you do and hit "run." REMEMBER JMARS ONLY WORKS ON A DESKTOP/LAPTOP COMPUTER THAT CAN RUN JAVA.
The login box will pop up. Enter the following information exactly the way it looks below:
Email: [email protected]
Password: EAGLES
The JMARS application should then open. Make sure you have the following layers open: Nomenclature, Lat/Lon Grid, MOLA Shaded Relief.
Double click the Nomenclature tab on the left side of the screen and go to "Adjustments" and select "Mons" for features.
YOU NEED TO FILL OUT THE INFO ON THE FOLLOWING CHART FOR 5 VOLCANOES. Use the "Ruler" and "Investigate" tools on the top toolbar to gather that information.
You should already have the following 3 volcanoes done: Olympus Mons, Tharsis Montes, Elysium Mons
If you need more help navigating JMARS, you can use the following video tutorials to help you.

MSIP-Background Research on Martian Volcanism (assigned on 05/07/2013)
The question we will attempt to answer in our MSIP project will be the following:
"What type of volcanoes seem to prevail on Mars?"
However, before we attempt to collect data on that, we first need to understand what to look for. Hence, why it is imperative we do some background research first.
Your assignment will be to collect information in answer to the following questions or concepts:
You may collect this information in any format you'd like. That could mean bullet points, a graphic organizera table, pictures with captions, paragraphs etc. HOWEVER, YOUR NOTES/INFO SHOULD BE SUBSTANTIAL and OF SIGNIFICANCE(so that mean's you should have at least about 5 points/sentences worth of info to answer each question). I will be grading you on the quality of the information you choose to provide.
PLEASE CITE YOUR SOURCES (at least 3 sources)
DUE FRIDAY MAY 10th, 2013
"What type of volcanoes seem to prevail on Mars?"
However, before we attempt to collect data on that, we first need to understand what to look for. Hence, why it is imperative we do some background research first.
Your assignment will be to collect information in answer to the following questions or concepts:
- Where does the most volcanic activity on Mars tend to occur?
- What are the biggest volcanoes on Mars? What are their sizes? How are they classified? Where are they located (latitude and longitude as well)?
- Are there any smaller volcanoes on Mars? Where do they tend to form? What are their sizes? Have they been classified?
- What are the characteristics of each different type (shield, stratovolcanoes, cinder cone) of volcano on Earth? What are their sizes (pick a few major/famous volcanoes such as Mt. St. Helen's, Mauna Loa in Hawaii, Vesuvius, etc.)
- HOW DO EACH TYPE OF VOLCANOES LOOK IN SATELLITE IMAGES (ON EARTH)? WHAT FEATURES/CHARACTERISTICS CAN HELP YOU DISTINGUISH BETWEEN EACH TYPE OF VOLCANO WHEN LOOKING AT THE SATELLITE IMAGES (basically, I want you to develop a list of criteria that can help you identify the class of a volcano when looking at a satellite image of one)?
You may collect this information in any format you'd like. That could mean bullet points, a graphic organizera table, pictures with captions, paragraphs etc. HOWEVER, YOUR NOTES/INFO SHOULD BE SUBSTANTIAL and OF SIGNIFICANCE(so that mean's you should have at least about 5 points/sentences worth of info to answer each question). I will be grading you on the quality of the information you choose to provide.
PLEASE CITE YOUR SOURCES (at least 3 sources)

Permeability Lab (assigned 04/30/2013)
Please complete the following for the permeability lab that we did in class today:
1) Hypothesis: Which cup (sand or soil) would allow the most water through?
2) Materials
3) Procedure (we poured about 175ml of water into each cup)
4) Data (your data should be ORGANIZED into a Table that shows the following information for the sand and the soil):
-Amount of Water Produced in each cup (i.e. how much water came out of the cup filled with sand and the cup filled with soil)
-Observations (what did the water that was filtered out from each cup look like?)
-Amount of Water Absorbed (i.e. what amount of water that you poured stayed in the cup. To calculate this, you would subtract the
amount of water produced in each cup from 175ml)
5) Analysis and Conclusions
-Answer any analysis questions from the book on pg. 259
-Answer the following questions:

5) Analysis and Conclusions
-Answer any analysis questions from the book on pg. 259
-Answer the following questions:
- Why do you think you got the results you did? Explain why the soil or the sand produced more water?
- What can you conclude about what type of characteristics/factors of soil, sand or rock material might be the most conducive to the flow of water (i.e. what factors of the aforementioned would allow water to flow more easily through?)
- What might have gone wrong with your experiment and how could that have affected your results?
- How could you improve upon or extend this experiment (what might you like to test further)?
