  Geology of Mars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The geology of Mars, sometimes called areology, is the study of its composition, structure, physical properties, history and the processes that shape it.
The term areology is also used to describe the study of Mars in general.
The Martian geologic timescale (or perhaps more properly the areologic timescale) has three broad epochs defined by the number of impact craters on the surface; older surfaces have more craters.

 Planetary science - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Planetary science studies objects ranging in size from micrometeoroids to gas giants, their composition, dynamics and history.
When the discipline concerns itself with a celestial body in particular, a specialised term is used, as shown in the table below (only Heliology, Earth science (synonymous with geoscience), Selenology, and Areology are currently in common use):

 What is Astrogeology?
There is far less data available for the scientific study of other planets as there is for Earth, but that doesn't stop scientists from trying to make inferences about them.
The field astrogeology has specific names for the study of each body in the solar system: Heliology for the study of the Sun, hermeology for Mercury, cytherology for Venus, selenology for the Moon, areology for Mars, zenology for Jupiter, kronology for Saturn, uranology for Uranus, poseidology for Neptune and hedeology for Pluto.
Astrogeology also encompasses the study of comets and asteroids.

 DotyBlog: Mars - not a local topic
As the son of a geologist, I've always had a thing for 'earth' sciences, and arguably, a mission to Mars qualifies :) though given the root words, areology might be the correct term (thanks to Kim Stanley Robinson for my access to that word).
Or if you want a cool change of pace.
