Geologic constraints on early Mars climate
ES Kite - Space Science Reviews, 2019 - Springer
Early Mars climate research has well-defined goals (MEPAG 2018). Achieving these goals
requires geologists and climate modelers to coordinate. Coordination is easier if results are …

Modern Mars' geomorphological activity, driven by wind, frost, and gravity
Extensive evidence of landform-scale martian geomorphic changes has been acquired in
the last decade, and the number and range of examples of surface activity have increased …

Exposed subsurface ice sheets in the Martian mid-latitudes
Thick deposits cover broad regions of the Martian mid-latitudes with a smooth mantle;
erosion in these regions creates scarps that expose the internal structure of the mantle. We …

Gullies on Mars could have formed by melting of water ice during periods of high obliquity
JL Dickson, AM Palumbo, JW Head, L Kerber… - Science, 2023 - science.org
Gullies on Mars resemble water-carved channels on Earth, but they are mostly at elevations
where liquid water is not expected under current climate conditions. It has been suggested …

Geological evidence for multiple climate transitions on Early Mars
Landforms and deposits observed on the Martian surface suggest that Mars' early climate
supported rivers and lakes over a time span of more than a billion years. But, like Earth …

Recent aqueous activity on Mars evidenced by transverse aeolian ridges in the Zhurong exploration region of Utopia Planitia
Aqueous activities on Mars have gradually declined since the Noachian (> 3.7 Ga). Although
water can be stored in the subsurface during the latest epochs, geomorphological evidence …

Widespread exposures of extensive clean shallow ice in the midlatitudes of Mars
CM Dundas, MT Mellon, SJ Conway… - Journal of …, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
Although ice in the Martian midlatitudes is typically covered by a layer of dust or regolith, it is
exposed in some locations by fresh impact craters or in erosional scarps. In both cases, the …

Confronting grand challenges in environmental fluid mechanics
Environmental fluid mechanics underlies a wealth of natural, industrial, and, by extension,
societal challenges. In the coming decades, as we strive towards a more sustainable planet …

Mineral alteration in water-saturated liquid CO2 on early Mars
Geomorphological and mineralogical evidence is consistent with aqueous activity on
ancient Mars, yet explaining the presence of substantial liquid water on early Mars remains …

Boundary condition controls on the high-sand-flux regions of Mars
Wind has been an enduring geologic agent throughout the history of Mars, but it is often
unclear where and why sediment is mobile in the current epoch. We investigated whether …
