The past fifteen years of orbital infrared spectroscopy and in situ exploration have led to a
new understanding of the composition and history of Mars. Globally, Mars has a basaltic …

Geological evidence shows that ancient Mars had large volumes of liquid water. Models of
past hydrogen escape to space, calibrated with observations of the current escape rate …

Noachian-aged Jezero crater is the only known location on Mars where clear orbital
detections of carbonates are found in close proximity to clear fluvio-lacustrine features …

The Curiosity rover discovered fine-grained sedimentary rocks, which are inferred to
represent an ancient lake and preserve evidence of an environment that would have been …

Abstract The Glen Torridon (GT) region in Gale crater, Mars is a region with strong clay
mineral signatures inferred from orbital spectroscopy. The CheMin X‐ray diffraction (XRD) …

Sedimentary rocks at Yellowknife Bay (Gale crater) on Mars include mudstone sampled by
the Curiosity rover. The samples, John Klein and Cumberland, contain detrital basaltic …

The nature of the early martian climate is one of the major unanswered questions of
planetary science. Key challenges remain, but a new wave of orbital and in situ observations …

Mastcam-Z is a multispectral, stereoscopic imaging investigation on the Mars 2020 mission's
Perseverance rover. Mastcam-Z consists of a pair of focusable, 4: 1 zoomable cameras that …

Clay minerals, recently discovered to be widespread in Mars's Noachian terrains, indicate
long-duration interaction between water and rock over 3.7 billion years ago. Analysis of how …
