<div>"<font face="Arial">Curiosity is still investigating the
contact between the Pahrump and Stimson units. Over the weekend,
Curiosity acquired<u> MAHLI</u> images on a coarse-grained rock named
"Big Arm" (above). The goal today is to characterize some of
the veins that occur above and below the contact, and then bump
towards a target named "Missoula" to assess the contact at that
location. </font></div>
<div><font face="Arial"><br>
"The plan today includes<u> ChemCam</u> observations of vein
targets named "Lemhi" and "Lowary" corresponding to high and
low targets above and below the contact. We will also acquire<u>
Mastcam</u> images of the vein targets using all of the camera
filters. After a short drive to reposition the rover in front of
"Missoula," we'll take some<u> Navcam</u> and<u> Mastcam</u>
images to prepare for contact science tomorrow. The plan also
includes a<u> Navcam</u> cloud movie to monitor the atmosphere.
I was the GSTL today and Ken Herkenhoff was the<u> SOWG</u> Chair, so
it was a busy day of rover operations here at the<u>
USGS</u>! </font></div>

"The resulting flood calendar spans the last ca 270 years (AD
1740-AD 2007). Š.. Our record thus suggests climate warming is
favouring the occurrence of high magnitude torrential flood events in
high-altitude catchments."</font><br>
