Hubble Space Telescope observations of Mars [PDF]
Hubble Space Telescope (HST) afforded the possibility of resolving features as small as 100 km on the Martian surface even when it is at the far point of its orbit. Therefore it is ideally suited for monitoring seasonal changes on the red planet.

Multidirectional Dune Dynamics Under Seasonal Winds on Mars
Abstract We present a systematic assessment of the complex aeolian bedforms across the western rim of Hellas Planitia, the largest impact basin on Mars. Repeat orbital imaging shows crescentic, transverse, and star dunes across the Hellespontus Montes region migrate, converge, and occasionally reverse course.

Martian surface materials [PDF]
A semiquantitative appreciation for the physical properties of the Mars surface materials and their global variations can be gained from the Viking Lander and remote sensing observations.

A review of volatiles in the Martian interior [PDF]
Multiple observations from missions to Mars have revealed compelling evidence for a volatile-rich Martian crust. A leading theory contends that eruption of basaltic magmas was the ultimate mechanism of transfer of volatiles from the mantle toward the ...

Abstract Spectrally dependent emission by the surface (i.e., surface spectral emissivity) is commonly ignored by current climate models. Surface spectral emissivity matters more in cold and dry environments than in hot and humid environments. Recent modeling studies confirmed that, for current climate simulations, this process affects the polar climate

Mars base buildup scenarios [PDF]
Two Mars surface based build-up scenarios are presented in order to help visualize the mission and to serve as a basis for trade studies. In the first scenario, direct manned landings on the Martian surface occur early in the missions and scientific ...

Field‐Aligned Proton Beams Upstream of the Martian Bow Shock: First Observations
Abstract We report fast sunward‐propagating energetic proton field‐aligned beams (FABs) observed about one Mars radius upstream of the Martian bow shock, recorded by the Solar Wind Ion Analyzer instrument on the MAVEN spacecraft. The velocity distributions show that all the beams have a bulk parallel speed vB=(1.35±0.21)VS ${v}_{B}=(1.35\pm 0.21){V}_{S}

Computer modeling of the mineralogy of the Martian surface, as modified by aqueous alteration [PDF]
Mineralogical constraints can be placed on the Martian surface by assuming chemical equilibria among the surface rocks, atmosphere and hypothesized percolating groundwater.
