LJ Hallis - … Transactions of the Royal Society A …, 2017 - royalsocietypublishing.org
The original hydrogen isotope (D/H) ratios of different planetary bodies may indicate where
each body formed in the Solar System. However, geological and atmospheric processes can …

Ejection of Martian meteorites

Records of an ancient Martian magnetic field in ALH84001

BP Weiss, H Vali, FJ Baudenbacher… - Earth and Planetary …, 2002 - Elsevier
Although Mars does not presently appear to have a global dynamo magnetic field, strong
crustal fields have recently been detected by the Mars Global Surveyor above surfaces …

The sources of water in Martian meteorites: Clues from hydrogen isotopes

Evidence for shock heating and constraints on Martian surface temperatures revealed by 40Ar/39Ar thermochronometry of Martian meteorites

WS Cassata, DL Shuster, PR Renne… - … et Cosmochimica Acta, 2010 - Elsevier
The thermal histories of Martian meteorite are important for the interpretation of petrologic,
geochemical, geochronological, and paleomagnetic constraints that they provide on the …

Carbonates on mars

JC Bridges, LJ Hicks, AH Treiman - Volatiles in the Martian crust, 2019 - Elsevier
Carbonates are predicted to exist on Mars, as they are a common product of the interaction
of CO 2, water, and Fe–Mg silicates over a wide range of conditions. They have been …

Martian surface paleotemperatures from thermochronology of meteorites

DL Shuster, BP Weiss - Science, 2005 - science.org
The temporal evolution of past martian surface temperatures is poorly known. We used
thermochronology and published noble gas and petrographic data to constrain the …
