1. Kenneth Creager:

   It’s difficult to tell how big an eruption might be. Knowing how much eruptible magma is down there may tell us.

2. Ken Farley:

   The delta, with its diverse sedimentary rocks, contrasts beautifully with the igneous rocks -- formed from crystallization of magma -- discovered on the crater floor, this juxtaposition provides us with a rich understanding of the geologic history after the crater formed and a diverse sample suite. For example, we found a sandstone that carries grains and rock fragments created far from Jezero Crater.

3. The USGS:

   The magma chamber is likely imparting its own stresses on the crust around and above it, as the system slowly recharges. The stress drives fluids through cracks, producing the small quakes. The current pattern of seismicity is similar to swarms seen at Mount St. Helens in 2013 and 2014; recharge swarms in the 1990s had much higher earthquake rates and energy release.

4. David Horvath:

   The interaction of ascending magma and the icy substrate of this region could have provided favorable conditions for microbial life fairly recently and raises the possibility of extant life in this region.

5. Ken Farley:

   A good geology student will tell you that such a texture indicates the rock formed when crystals grew and settled in a slowly cooling magma -- for example a thick lava flow, lava lake, or magma chamber, the rock was then altered by water several times, making it a treasure trove that will allow future scientists to date events in Jezero Crater, better understand the period in which water was more common on Jezero Crater surface, and reveal the early history of the planet. Mars Sample Return is going to have great stuff to choose from.
