More about the book

The book presents a pioneering multidisciplinary study on the potential for microbial life in Mars' subsurface, focusing on the effects of ionizing radiation from solar and cosmic sources. It details the development of an advanced computer model to analyze the subsurface radiation environment, considering factors like atmospheric density and surface composition. Additionally, it includes microbiological research on cold-tolerant bacteria from Antarctica, examining their diversity and survival under extreme conditions akin to those found in Martian permafrost.
