Mars' volatile and climate history

BM Jakosky, RJ Phillips - nature, 2001 - nature.com
There is substantial evidence that the martian volatile inventory and climate have changed
markedly throughout the planet's history. Clues come from areas as disparate as the history …

Outgassing history and escape of the Martian atmosphere and water inventory

H Lammer, E Chassefière, Ö Karatekin… - Space Science …, 2013 - Springer
The evolution and escape of the martian atmosphere and the planet's water inventory can
be separated into an early and late evolutionary epoch. The first epoch started from the …

The origin of planetary impactors in the inner solar system

RG Strom, R Malhotra, T Ito, F Yoshida, DA Kring - Science, 2005 - science.org
Insights into the history of the inner solar system can be derived from the impact cratering

A younger age for ALH84001 and its geochemical link to shergottite sources in Mars

TJ Lapen, M Righter, AD Brandon, V Debaille… - Science, 2010 - science.org
Martian meteorite ALH84001 (ALH) is the oldest known igneous rock from Mars and has

Alteration assemblages in Martian meteorites: Implications for near-surface processes

JC Bridges, DC Catling, JM Saxton, TD Swindle… - … and Evolution of Mars …, 2001 - Springer
Abstract The SNC (Shergotty-Nakhla-Chassigny) meteorites have recorded interactions
between martian crustal fluids and the parent igneous rocks. The resultant secondary …

Cataclysmic bombardment throughout the inner solar system 3.9–4.0 Ga

DA Kring, BA Cohen - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Cohen et al.[2000] recently confirmed the hypothesis that the Moon was resurfaced by an
intense period of impact cratering∼ 3.9 Ga ago and, by inference, that the Earth also …

K-Ar and Ar-Ar dating

S Kelley - Reviews in Mineralogy and Geochemistry, 2002 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
The aim of this chapter is to present the K-Ar and Ar-Ar dating techniques in the context of
noble gas studies, since there are already several recent texts on K-Ar and Ar-Ar dating …

Paleomagnetic evidence for a long-lived, potentially reversing martian dynamo at~ 3.9 Ga
