Geologic constraints on early Mars climate
ES Kite - Space Science Reviews, 2019 - Springer
Early Mars climate research has well-defined goals (MEPAG 2018). Achieving these goals
requires geologists and climate modelers to coordinate. Coordination is easier if results are …

Martian dunes indicative of wind regime shift in line with end of ice age
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 …

Landing site selection and characterization of Tianwen‐1 (Zhurong rover) on Mars
Abstract The Chinese Mars rover Zhurong onboard the Tianwen‐1 probe successfully
landed on Mars in May 2021. Here, we report our efforts in selecting a landing site for …

Evidence for geologically recent explosive volcanism in Elysium Planitia, Mars
Volcanic activity on Mars peaked during the Noachian and Hesperian periods but has
continued since then in isolated locales. Elysium Planitia hosts numerous young, fissure-fed …

Analysis of impact crater populations and the geochronology of planetary surfaces in the inner solar system
CI Fassett - Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Analyzing the density of impact craters on planetary surfaces is the only known technique for
learning their ages remotely. As a result, crater statistics have been widely analyzed on the …

Sequence and relative timing of large lakes in Gale crater (Mars) after the formation of Mount Sharp
The quantification of lake levels in Gale crater is important to define the hydrologic and
climatic history experienced by the sedimentary deposits found by Curiosity. We propose …
