Modern Mars' geomorphological activity, driven by wind, frost, and gravity
Extensive evidence of landform-scale martian geomorphic changes has been acquired in
the last decade, and the number and range of examples of surface activity have increased …

Seasonal flows on warm Martian slopes
Water probably flowed across ancient Mars, but whether it ever exists as a liquid on the
surface today remains debatable. Recurring slope lineae (RSL) are narrow (0.5 to 5 meters) …

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 …

Water and brines on Mars: current evidence and implications for MSL
Liquid water is a basic ingredient for life as we know it. Therefore, in order to understand the
habitability of other planets we must first understand the behavior of water on them. Mars is …

Seasonal activity and morphological changes in Martian gullies
Recent studies of martian dune and non-dune gullies have suggested a seasonal control on
present-day gully activity. The timing of current gully activity, especially activity involving the …

Seasonal erosion and restoration of Mars' northern polar dunes
Despite radically different environmental conditions, terrestrial and martian dunes bear a
strong resemblance, indicating that the basic processes of saltation and grainfall (sand …
