ROADMAP: Role and impAct of Dust and clouds in the Martian AtmosPhere: from lab to space

ROADMAP is an H2020-SPACE-2020 new project CoDuLab is involved in. The project's goal is to drastically enhance our knowledge of the Red Plant by focusing on the prominent role of dust and clouds in its atmosphere. By combining light scattering experiments and observations, ROADMAP will study the composition of the Martian atmosphere, contribute to a better understanding of the physical processes in occurring in there and improve the modelling of dust and water cycles in it. The ROADMAP consortium is composed by the Institut d’Aéronomie Spatiale de Belgique (BIRA-IASB), Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (ICV-CSIC), Aarhus Universitet (AU), and Duisburg-Essen Universität (UDE).
