The Holy Grail: A road map for unlocking the climate record stored within Mars' polar layered deposits
In its polar layered deposits (PLD), Mars possesses a record of its recent climate, analogous
to terrestrial ice sheets containing climate records on Earth. Each PLD is greater than 2 km …

Cyclostratigraphy and its revolutionizing applications in the earth and planetary sciences
LA Hinnov - Bulletin, 2013 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
Over the past 25 yr, the science of stratigraphy has evolved to include time-correlative data
from vastly disparate components of the Earth system. Not least of these is the global signal …

Timescales of the climate record in the south polar ice cap of Mars
Abstract The South Polar Layered Deposits (SPLD) are the largest water ice reservoirs on
Mars. Their accumulation is believed to result from climate oscillations that drive the …

Reading the climate record of the Martian polar layered deposits
The martian polar regions have layered deposits of ice and dust. The stratigraphy of these
deposits is exposed within scarps and trough walls and is thought to have formed due to …

Development and evolution of icy layer outcrops on Mars' north polar ice cap: A sublimation‐based framework
Troughs carved into Mars' polar ice cap expose layers of different brightness and
topography. These layers can be divided into two strata types: darker, higher dust content …
