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 …

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 …

An ice age recorded in the polar deposits of Mars
Layered ice deposits at the poles of Mars record a detailed history of accumulation and
erosion related to climate processes. Radar investigations measure these layers and …

Spiral trough diversity on the north pole of Mars, as seen by Shallow Radar (SHARAD)
We combine observations from ground penetrating radar and optical instruments to conduct
a comprehensive survey of spiral troughs on the north polar layered deposits of Mars. Our …

Aeolian processes as drivers of landform evolution at the south pole of Mars
We combine observations of surface morphology, topography, subsurface stratigraphy, and
near surface clouds with mesoscale simulations of south polar winds and temperature to …

A migration model for the polar spiral troughs of Mars
Mars' iconic polar spiral troughs are 400–1,000‐m‐deep depressions in the north polar
layered deposits. As the north polar layered deposits accumulate, troughs migrate …

Sublimation waves: Geomorphic markers of interactions between icy planetary surfaces and winds
Sublimation waves are periodic, linear and transverse bedforms that grow by sublimation of
icy substrates under turbulent winds. They occur in different environments of the Earth and …

Surface roughness evolution and implications for the age of the north polar residual cap of Mars
AX Wilcoski, PO Hayne - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
An understanding of the current state of the Martian North Polar Residual Cap (NPRC) is
needed to understand the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD) as a whole and the recent …
