A Thermal Plume Model for the Martian Convective Boundary Layer
, 2013 The Martian Planetary Boundary Layer [PBL] is a crucial component of the Martian climate system. Global Climate Models [GCMs] and Mesoscale Models [MMs] lack the resolution to predict PBL mixing which is therefore parameterized.

Evolution of Water Reservoirs on Mars: Constraints from Hydrogen Isotopes in Martian Meteorites
, 2014 Martian surface morphology implies that Mars was once warm enough to maintain persistent liquid water on its surface. While the high D/H ratios (~6 times the Earth's ocean water) of the current martian atmosphere suggest that significant water has been ...

Space Environmental Chamber for Planetary Studies
Sensors, 2020 We describe a versatile simulation chamber that operates under representative space conditions (pressures from < 10−5 mbar to ambient and temperatures from 163 to 423 K), the SpaceQ chamber.

Martian meso/micro-scale winds and surface energy budget [PDF]
, 2011 Regional, diurnal and seasonal variations of surface temperature are particularly large on Mars. This is mostly due to the Martian surface remaining close to radiative equilibrium.

Impact of surface Albedo on Martian photochemistry [PDF]
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020 Solar energy is the primary driving force behind a planet’s climate system, and surface albedo plays a key role in determining the energy budget of the planet. Coupling the Snow, Ice, and Aerosol Radiation (SNICAR) with the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique (LMD) Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM) to create a new coupled model leads to an ...

Sulfur Cycling as a Viable Metabolism under Simulated Noachian/Hesperian Chemistries
Life, 2022 Water present on the surface of early Mars (>3.0 Ga) may have been habitable. Characterising analogue environments and investigating the aspects of their microbiome best suited for growth under simulated martian chemical conditions is key to ...

Martian atmospheric O3 retrieval development for the NOMAD-UVIS spectrometer [PDF]
, 2017 The composition of atmospheric trace gases and aerosols is a highly variable and poorly constrained component of the martian atmosphere, and by affecting martian climate and UV surface dose, represents a key parameter in the assessment of suitability for
