Catalytic/Protective Properties of Martian Minerals and Implications for Possible Origin of Life on Mars

open access: yesLife, 2018
Minerals might have played critical roles for the origin and evolution of possible life forms on Mars. The study of the interactions between the “building blocks of life„ and minerals relevant to Mars mineralogy under conditions mimicking the

Evolution of Water Reservoirs on Mars: Constraints from Hydrogen Isotopes in Martian Meteorites

open access: yes, 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 ...

Time and Length Scales of the Martian Atmospheric Turbulence as Observed by the InSight Lander

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
We provide a statistical analysis of the Martian near‐surface atmospheric turbulence based on in situ wind observations from NASA's InSight lander. We focus on the variations in length and time scales of the Martian atmospheric turbulence caused by the ...

Morphology of Antarctic Polygons and Implications for Polygon Evolution and Subsurface Ice Dynamics

open access: yesPermafrost and Periglacial Processes, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 143-153, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Polygonal terrain results from thermal contraction, is commonly found in periglacial environments, and serves as a valuable proxy for interpreting subsurface ice distribution and climate history on Earth and Mars. In this study, we investigate the morphology of polygons in Beacon Valley, Antarctica, to assess the relationship between polygon ...

Martian sub-surface ionising radiation: biosignatures and geology [PDF]

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2007
The surface of Mars, unshielded by thick atmosphere or global magnetic field, is exposed to high levels of cosmic radiation. This ionising radiation field is deleterious to the survival of dormant cells or spores and the persistence of molecular ...

Martian Multichannel Diode Laser Spectrometer (M-DLS) for In-Situ Atmospheric Composition Measurements on Mars Onboard ExoMars-2022 Landing Platform

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
We present a concept of the Martian multichannel diode laser spectrometer (M-DLS) instrument, a part of the science payload onboard Kazachok landing platform in the framework of the ExoMars mission second stage.

The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 387-408, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Deep‐Ultraviolet (DUV) Raman and Fluorescence of Perchlorates and Chlorates: Implications for the Detection of Oxychlorines by the SHERLOC Instrument in Jezero Crater, Mars

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Oxychlorines (i.e., perchlorates (ClO4−) and chlorates (ClO3−)) have been detected by several landed missions on Mars at various locations. These missions have provided crucial information about the geographic distribution and abundances of oxychlorines on Mars but have not definitively identified the cation and anion type of in situ, solid ...
