Development and evolution of icy layer outcrops on Mars' north polar ice cap: Observations of vertical and lateral variability

AC Pascuzzo, AM Bramson, P Becerra… - Journal of …, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Mars' north polar ice cap features troughs that cut into the ice, exposing subsurface layers of
different brightness and topographic expression. Specifically, these layers represent two …

[HTML][HTML] A comparison of CO2 seasonal activity in Mars' northern and southern hemispheres

CJ Hansen, S Byrne, WM Calvin, S Diniega… - Icarus, 2023 - Elsevier
Carbon dioxide is Mars' most active volatile. The seasonal and diurnal processes of when

Recent progress in studying orbital forcing of late Amazonian climate changes on Mars from Polar Layered Deposits

X Li, X Wang, XG Qin - Earth and Planetary Physics, 2024 - eppcgs.org
The polar layered deposits (PLD) of Mars can provide deep insight into paleoclimate
changes over the planet's last several million years. Since the 1960s, researchers have …

Thickness of the seasonal deposits at the Martian north polar region from shadow variations of fallen ice blocks

H **ao, Y **ao, S Su, F Schmidt… - Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The seasonal deposition and sublimation of CO2 constitute a major element in the Martian
volatile cycle. Here, we propose to use the shadow variations of the ice blocks at the foot of …

A 510,000‐Year Record of Mars' Climate

PB Buhler - Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Mars' polar layered deposits record its climate history. However, no deposit yet analyzed
