The transport of sand and dust by wind is a potent erosional force, creates sand dunes and
ripples, and loads the atmosphere with suspended dust aerosols. This paper presents an …

Nine simulations are used to predict the meteorology and aeolian activity of the Mars 2020
landing site region. Predicted seasonal variations of pressure and surface and atmospheric …

Orbital observations suggest that Mars underwent a recent 'ice age'(roughly 0.4–2.1 million
years ago), during which a latitude-dependent ice-dust mantle (LDM), was emplaced. A …

Recent geological observations in the northern mid-latitudes of Mars show evidence for past
glacial activity during the late Amazonian, similar to the integrated glacial landsystems in the …

We describe the first use of a general circulation model to study the Martian water cycle.
Water is treated as a passive tracer, except for ice‐albedo coupling. The model is used to …

We use a Mars general circulation model to examine the effect of orbital changes on the
planet's general circulation and climate system. Experiments are performed for obliquities …

The atmosphere and climate of Mars is a crucial factor, both for understanding the planet's
past and appreciating the possibilities of its future. Given the high level of current interest in …

We used spectral indexing and linear deconvolution to compare thermal infrared emission
spectra of Fo91, Fo68, Fo53, Fo39, Fo18, and Fo1 olivine samples to Mars Global Surveyor …

The Martian seasonal dust cycle is examined with a general circulation model (GCM) that
treats dust as a radiatively and dynamically interactive trace species. Dust injection is …

Opportunity has been traversing the Meridiani plains since 25 January 2004 (sol 1),
acquiring numerous observations of the atmosphere, soils, and rocks. This paper provides …
