NASA and the Canadian Space Agency had invited the journalists and the public on Tuesday, 14th July, to observe the international, multidisciplinary Pavilion Lake Research Project team as it studies the origin of rare freshwater carbonate rock structures that thrive in Pavilion Lake, British Columbia, Canada.
Reporters will have a great opportunity to interview Pavilion Lake Research Project scientists from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PDT on 14th July as they study and explore the unique underwater formations and perform research about life in extreme environments.
Scientists believe that the carbonate rock structures, known as microbialites, first were formed by microorganisms more than 2.5 billion years ago. Today, environments rich in microbialites are seen as potential analogs for the biological, geological and chemical processes of early Earth and similar processes are possibly occurred on other planets, such as Mars.
Using a combination of underwater vehicles and scuba divers, the research project blends science and technology to advance knowledge of astrobiology and observe how humans could explore the moon and Mars.
Pavilion Lake Research Project science team members, including a pair of NASA astronauts, will be presented for interviews at the event.
