X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Pacing Early Mars Sedimentary Rock Formation
Abstract Mars' sedimentary rock record documents past surface and/or near‐surface liquid water. However, paleoclimate models struggle to explain conditions warm enough for past liquid water. One hypothesis is transient warming by H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$‐CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ collision‐induced absorption (CIA) (H2 ${\mathrm{H}}_{2}$‐CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2 ...

Freeze‐Thaw Cycling Accelerated Olivine Weathering and Water Sequestration on Icy Mars
Abstract Geological evidence and paleoclimate models suggest that freeze‐thaw (FT) cycling has played a pivotal role in shaping the Martian surface composition throughout geological time. Here we show the experimental investigation of the sulfuric acid weathering of olivine under simulated FT conditions (193–293 K).

Abstract Thermal tides are global oscillations driven by periodic solar heating that strongly influence circulation and vertical coupling in the Martian atmosphere. Previous studies have focused on the first and second migrating harmonics, while recent work has revealed higher‐frequency harmonics in surface pressure records.

Martian Atmospheric Loss Through Foreshock Transient Events
Abstract At Mars, the MAVEN spacecraft has made observations of Hot Flow Anomalies (HFAs) in the foreshock. Due to the bow shock's proximity to the planet, it is theorized that HFAs contribute to atmospheric escape at Mars through the excavation of ionospheric ions.
