This week we talk about water on Mars and aeroelastic flutter of bird wings.

• John got married with drones and garter cannons. Keep an eye on his Twitter feed for more videos soon.
• We have a GSA poster and AGU Talk!

Water on mars

• Recurring Slope Linea (RSL), identified in 2011 by Lujendra Ojha (then student, now at Georgia Institute of Technology)
• Great pictures of RSLs
• Recurring slope lineae in equatorial regions of Mars (Nature Geoscience)
• HiRISE observations of Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL) during southern summer on Mars (Icarus)
• Detection of Perchlorate and the Soluble Chemistry of Martian Soil at the Phoenix Lander Site (Science)
• Phoenix Lander *Spectral evidence for hydrated salts in recurring slope lineae on Mars (Nature Geoscience)
