Landing of NASA’s Perseverance Rover has focused world attention on Mars. Meanwhile lesser known to the public, scientists at the University of Alaska Fairbanks are also studying the red planet. KUAC’s Mary Auld reports.

Mary Auld was born in Fairbanks and lived here until the age of 9 when her family moved to upstate New York. She earned a degree in creative writing from State University of New York-Geneseo. After working for a newspaper in Montana, Mary began graduate studies in environmental journalism at the University of Montana.
