The papers abstracted in this volume deal with the occurrence, detection, and measurement of water on planetary bodies in the solar system; relevant aspects of the terrestrial water balance; the most probable status of water on other planetary bodies; and the methods of water detection and measurement available for consideration in designing planetary exploration missions. Topics include the water inventory for earth, high-energy protons as an early source of regolith water, the evolution of water on Mars, the chemical evolution of the Martian atmosphere by surface weathering, some geochemical aspects of excess volatiles on Mars, fluvial erosion on Mars, water in the outer solar system, and the stability of water on the Galilean satellites. Other papers discuss gamma-ray attenuation methods for determining the water content of soil, Viking biology-experiment results relevant to water on Mars, IR detection of water ice on satellite surfaces during the Mariner Jupiter/Saturn mission, electrical sounding of the lunar regolith, the detection of water on the moon and Mars by orbital gamma-ray spectroscopy, and the Viking Martian soil-water analyzer.
