Martian Proton Albedo as Signature of Near‐Surface Water

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Understanding the Martian soil water budget is crucial not only for in situ resource utilization in future human missions to Mars, but also for reconstructing the geological and climatic history of the planet, as well as to assess the potential of ancient or even present microbial life.

Photogrammetric co-registration and photometric analysis of HRSC Phobos images

, 2012
HRSC images from Mars Express Phobos flybys are used to study the photometric character of the surface of the Martian satellite. This investigation involves measuring of surface reflectance and illumination angles for estimates of a phase curve, and ...

Automatic Martian Polar Ice Cap Extraction Algorithm for Remote Sensing Data and Analysis of Their Spatiotemporal Variation Characteristics

Remote Sensing
The detection of Martian polar ice cap change patterns is important for understanding their effects on driving Mars’s global water cycle and for regulating atmospheric circulation.

Thermal Escape of Atomic Hydrogen on Mars: A Comprehensive View With a General Circulation Model

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Mars loses water mainly through the photodissociation of water vapor, followed by the thermal escape of light hydrogen atoms. Observations have revealed large seasonal variations in hydrogen concentration in the upper thermosphere, peaking during southern summers and intensifying during dust storms.

Measuring Martian lightning

, 2011
Lightning is expected to occur on Mars within dust devils and dust storms, which are likely to discharge in the low pressure carbon dioxide environment.

Properties of Solar Wind Current Sheets in the Martian Space Environment

The Astrophysical Journal
Transient current sheets (CSs) are common magnetic structures in the solar wind that can significantly disturb the planetary space environment and cause space weather phenomena.

Spectral Characterization of CO2‐H2O Ice Layering Under Controlled Mars Polar Conditions as Laboratory Analogs for Seasonal Cap Activity

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Seasonal CO2 and H2O ice blanket the Martian polar caps, and their spectral contributions mix during seasonal evolution. Particularly in late northern winter, the spectral signature of H2O ice obscures that of CO2 ice. Using the MARVIN chamber at York University, we produced controlled analogs of layered polar ice under Mars‐like pressure (∼6 ...

Thermal Effects of Gravity Waves in Planetary Atmospheres

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Internal atmospheric acoustic‐gravity waves substantially drive the global dynamical, thermal, and compositional structure of planetary atmospheres. While the dynamical effects of acoustic‐gravity waves have been extensively studied, especially on Earth and Mars, their thermal effects are insufficiently explored in planetary atmospheres.

Potential of VIS‐IR imaging spectroscopy and SEM‐EDS and EMPA to map the mineralogical composition of NWA 7317 (CR6)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1026-1044, June 2026.
Abstract Asteroid compositional analysis relies on comparing reflectance spectra with laboratory data from well‐characterized meteorites. To advance this comparison, we performed a comprehensive laboratory analysis on a slab of the Northwest Africa (NWA) 7317—CR6 carbonaceous chondrite.
