The uninhabited island is in Nunavut\u0027s Qikiqtaaluk region and has conditions similar to the red planet.
On Earth, Sapers said, most methane is biogenic, meaning it’s produced by living organisms. The gas can also be produced by geological processes.
Scientists first detected trace amounts of methane in the Mars atmosphere in 2003 and have continued to be perplexed by it. “We need a new type of instrument that doesn’t take as many resources that can take really fast, really sensitive measurements of methane,” she said.Article content Sapers said they also plan to complete detailed sampling of micro-organisms that have previously been detected by scientists from McGill University in the sediment of the island’s hyper-saline cold springs. She said they want to determine whether those micro-organisms oxidize methane, like those she has studied in deep ocean methane seeps.
