Discussion

2:30 - 4:30 PM

1. What are the most promising approaches for sounding for subsurface water?

2. How should we best categorize methods: e.g. local, regional, and global scale detections?

3. Is global mapping of subsurface water from orbit feasible? What are the constraints and limitations?

4. What are the key next steps in modelling, laboratory studies, terrestrial field work, terrestrial data analysis, instrument definition, mission studies, etc?
