Liquid water is a critical component of habitability. However, the production and stability of surficial liquid water can be challenging on planets outside the Habitable Zone and devoid …
The south polar layered deposits (SPLD) on Mars is primarily composed of H 2 O ice, with smaller quantities of impurities such as CO 2 ice and dust. The presence of these impurities …
Widespread valley networks (VNs) on Mars and other evidence point to an early warm and wet climate. However, ongoing debates still exist about VN's formation processes and …
Growing evidence supports the case for glacial processes within the equatorial regions of Mars. However, few examples of modeling or numerical analysis exist to support this …
The interiors and exteriors of the> 25 km diameter Batson, Nako, Salkhad, and Jori craters (and McCauley crater to a lesser degree) on the northeastern rim of Hellas basin, Mars …
Water is central to life on Earth and how life originated on Earth. The oldest sign of life stems from hydrothermal environments about 3.5 Ga (Chaplin, 2001). Water or indications of water …
The present thesis aims at getting new understandings on how ground water ice and periglacial processes influence surface geomorphology on Earth and on Mars. I am hence …
