Petrologic constraints on the pressure, temperature, time and composition of the Martian interior [PDF]
Petrologic analysis of surface samples has been used to deduce pressure and temperature conditions existing in the crust and upper mantle at specific times in the Earth's history, as well as to estimate the chemical and mineralogical composition of the ...

A Comprehensive Framework for Assessing Terrestrial Analogue Field Sites for Ocean Worlds
Abstract Field studies at terrestrial analogue sites represent an important contribution to the science of ocean worlds. The value of the science and technology investigations conducted at field analogue sites depends on the relevance of the analogue environment to the target ocean world.

Seasonal Water "Pump" in the Atmosphere of Mars: Vertical Transport to the Thermosphere
We present results of simulations with the Max Planck Institute general circulation model (MPI-MGCM) implementing a hydrological cycle scheme. The simulations reveal a seasonal water "pump" mechanism responsible for the upward transport of water vapor ...

Abstract Inversions of satellite observations of the lunar crustal magnetic field do not consistently produce regional magnetization directions consistent with a selenocentric axial dipolar field. We modeled the thermal evolution of anomaly source bodies in the lunar crust and found that large features (impact melt sheets and ejecta deposits) cool ...

Volcanic features of Hawaii. A basis for comparison with Mars [PDF]
Despite the difference in size Martian and Hawaiian volcanoes have numerous characteristics in common. Specific features such as lava channels, collapsed lava tubes, levees and flow fronts, all very common in Hawaii, are also abundant on the flanks of ...
