Planetary protection guidance for martian exploration has become a notable point of
discussion over the last decade. This is due to increased scientific interest in the habitability …

Although the majority of volcanic and tectonic activity on Mars occurred during the first 1.5
billion years of its geologic history, recent volcanism, tectonism and active seismicity in …

Analyses of seismic data from the InSight mission have provided the first in situ constraints
on the thickness of the crust of Mars. These crustal thickness constraints are currently limited …

China's first Mars rover named “Zhurong” has begun its exploration at the surface of the
Utopian Plain in the Martian northern hemisphere on May 22, 2021. Mars rover penetrating …

Abstract Knowledge of the physical and thermal properties of the South Polar Layer
Deposits (SPLD) is key to constrain the source of bright basal reflections at Ultimi Scopuli …

The dust‐laden and predominantly water ice south polar layered deposits (SPLD) exhibit
unique radar behavior at Shallow Radar (SHARAD) frequencies that is not seen in the …

We compare several recent Martian interior models and evaluate how these are impacted by
the tidal constraints provided by the Love number k2 and the secular acceleration in …

The principal objective of the radar sounder MARSIS experiment is to look for ice and water
in the Martian subsurface. One particular focus of investigations, since 2005, has been the …

Bright basal reflections from the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere
Sounding (MARSIS) have been proposed to be consistent with permittivities characteristic of …

Over the past decades, global geodynamic models have been used to investigate the
thermal evolution of terrestrial planets. With the increase of computational power and …
