Water storage capacity of the martian mantle through time
Water has been stored in the Martian mantle since its formation, primarily in nominally
anhydrous minerals. The short-lived early hydrosphere and intermittently flowing water on …

Buoyant impact partial melts on ancient Mars
Most of the Martian crust formed prior to∼ 4 Ga, but the magmatic processes responsible for
finalizing the structure and composition of the ancient crust remain enigmatic. Impacts can …

Complex zoning in the nakhlite and chassignite martian meteorites reveals multi-stage petrogenesis and undercooling during crystallization
Nakhlites (clinopyroxene-rich cumulates) and chassignites (dunites) are two types of
meteorites that were emplaced onto—and subsequently ejected from—the surface of Mars …
