Rock Abundance and Erosion Rate at the Zhurong Landing Site in Southern Utopia Planitia on Mars

Earth and Space Science, 2022
Rocks on the Martian surface exhibit signatures of geological activities. Rock distribution is also an important factor for landing site selection for exploration missions.

Estimation of surface water content at the Tianwen-1 Zhurong landing site

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023
China’s first Mars rover, Zhurong, successfully landed in the south of Utopia Planitia. The surface water content at the landing area can provide constraints on mineral formation conditions and help us better understand the evolution of the Martian ...

Mud flows in the Southwestern Utopia Planitia, Mars [PDF]

AbstractHere we present the results of our mapping of a large field of landforms characterized by flow-like morphology in the southwestern part of Utopia Planitia. They have been previously interpreted as mud flows associated with a partly frozen muddy ocean [1,2].

Spatial Autocorrelation of Martian Surface Temperature and Its Spatio-Temporal Relationships with Near-Surface Environmental Factors across China’s Tianwen-1 Landing Zone

Remote Sensing, 2021
Variations in the Martian surface temperature indicate patterns of surface energy exchange. The Martian surface temperature at a location is similar to those in adjacent locations; but, an understanding of temperature clusters in multiple locations will ...

Observation-based temperature field simulation at Zhurong landing site, Mars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Modeling the temperature field near the Martian surface is critical for many scientific exploration tasks, such as detecting liquid water and analyzing the existence of saline ice.

A re-interpretation of the recent stratigraphical history of Utopia Planitia, Mars: Implications for late-Amazonian periglacial and ice-rich terrain

, 2012
International audienceUtopia Planitia, one of the great northern plains of the Mars, is a region where landscape modification by cold-climate processes, i.e. glacial and periglacial, is thought to be widespread.

Grid-mapping the northern plains of Mars: using morphotype and distribution of ice-related landforms to understand multiple ice-rich deposits in Utopia Planitia [PDF]

, 2019
This work in Utopia Planitia is the first continuous regional mapping of ice-related landforms integrated into an effort to study the three main basins (Arcadia, Acidalia, Utopia Planitiae) in the northern plains.

Automatic Crater Classification Using a Deep‐Learning‐Based Pipeline

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Identifying and classifying impact craters on Mars is crucial for understanding the planet's geological history and surface evolution. Traditional crater classification relies on manual annotation methods, which are often limited by human biases and the difficulty of interpreting geomorphological features.

Fifty Years Later: Revisiting Viking 2 Seismic Signals Through InSight

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract For nearly 50 years, the origin of the candidate seismic signals recorded by Viking 2 remained unresolved because of limited instrumental sensitivity, onboard observation, data compression, and the absence of Martian seismic context. Here we reconstruct the Viking seismic workflow and reinterpret the two Viking candidate events, recorded on ...

The Roles of Slope Winds, Regolith, and Clouds in Shaping the Martian Water Vapor Column Unveiled With Mars Global Climate Model Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Water plays an important role in the Martian climate. Orbital observations of the Martian atmosphere show that the water vapor column density corrected for topographic effects anti‐correlates with surface pressure, which has not been well reproduced in models. In this study, we investigate the effects of water exchange between the regolith and
