Radar evidence of subglacial liquid water on Mars
The presence of liquid water at the base of the martian polar caps has long been suspected
but not observed. We surveyed the Planum Australe region using the MARSIS (Mars …

The Holy Grail: A road map for unlocking the climate record stored within Mars' polar layered deposits
In its polar layered deposits (PLD), Mars possesses a record of its recent climate, analogous
to terrestrial ice sheets containing climate records on Earth. Each PLD is greater than 2 km …

Tracing the fate of carbon and the atmospheric evolution of Mars
The climate of Mars likely evolved from a warmer, wetter early state to the cold, arid current
state. However, no solutions for this evolution have previously been found to satisfy the …

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 …

Comparison of geophone and surface-deployed distributed acoustic sensing seismic data
The rapid and nonintrusive deployment of seismic sensors for near-surface geophysical
surveys is of interest to make data acquisition efficient and to operate in a wide variety of …
