New approaches to the exploration: planet Mars and bacterial life

, 2011
Planet Mars past environmental conditions were similar to the early Earth, but nowadays they are similar to those of a very cold desert, irradiated by intense solar UV light. However, some terrestrial lifeform showed the capability to adapt to very harsh

Stratigraphy of Carbonate‐Bearing Rocks at the Margin of Jezero Crater, Mars: Evidence for Shoreline Processes?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian carbonate‐bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim ...

Formation and Alteration of Olivine‐Carbonate Rocks Within Jezero Crater as Constrained by In Situ Visible/Near‐Infrared Multispectral Images

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing rocks are key exploration targets on Mars because of the information they can provide about magma evolution and source characteristics, implications for surface water availability and climate, and their biosignature preservation potential.

In situ mineralogical-chemical analysis of Martian materials at landing/roving sites by active and passive remote sensing methods [PDF]

Remote sensing of the Martian surface from the ground and from orbiting spacecraft has provided some first-order insight into the mineralogical-chemical composition and the weathering state of Martian surface materials. Much more detailed information can

Making Observed and Modeled Martian Dust Storm Trajectories Visible Using a New Automatic Tracking Algorithm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Dust in the atmosphere of Mars, along with its radiative effects, is the central factor for understanding the Martian climate. Global circulation models and remote sensing observations are used to shed light on the evolution of Martian dust storms.

Bacillus subtilis Spore Resistance to Simulated Mars Surface Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
In a Mars exploration scenario, knowing if and how highly resistant Bacillus subtilis spores would survive on the Martian surface is crucial to design planetary protection measures and avoid false positives in life-detection experiments.

On the Impact Origin of Phobos and Deimos I: Thermodynamic and Physical Aspects

, 2017
Phobos and Deimos are the two small moons of Mars. Recent works have shown that they can accrete within an impact-generated disk. However, the detailed structure and initial thermodynamic properties of the disk are poorly understood.
