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

Earth 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 ...

Formation of Tianwen-1 landing crater and mechanical properties of Martian soil near the landing site

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology
After landing in the Utopia Planitia, Tianwen-1 formed the deepest landing crater on Mars, approximately 40 cm deep, exposing precious information about the mechanical properties of Martian soil.

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.

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

Detecting Potential Subsurface Water Ice at Southern Utopia Planitia of Mars Using SHARAD Datasets

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
The detection of water ice is crucial for the scientific exploration of Mars, as the water ice could provide energy support for future human missions. Orbital radars provide wide coverage and deeper penetration compared to infrared and optical imaging ...

Regional Ice‐Depth and Thickness in Phlegra Montes, Mars From Radar Characterization of Glacial Landsystems Using SHARAD

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Morphological analyses of Viscous Flow Features (VFFs) in the mid‐latitude regions of Mars have led to the hypothesis that these landforms are equivalent to debris‐covered glaciers. Phlegra Montes is a 1400‐km‐long mountain range in the northern mid‐latitudes that spans from 30° to 50°N, where there is an abundance of glacial landsystems ...

Volcanic terrain and the possible periglacial formation of "excess ice" at the mid-latitudes of Utopia Planitia, Mars [PDF]

, 2015
At the mid-latitudes of Utopia Planitia (UP), Mars, a suite of spatially-associated landforms exhibit geomorphological traits that, on Earth, would be consistent with periglacial processes and the possible freeze-thaw cycling of water.

Hydrous Components of Dusty Surfaces Inferred From Zhurong In Situ Observations

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 18, 28 September 2025.
Abstract The ubiquitous hydration features observed by Zhurong rover provided new insights into Mars aqueous paleoenvironments. However, the impact of the Martian dust was not previously discussed. Here, we conduct a joint analysis of the Multispectral Camera and Short‐Wave Infrared data to constrain the surface composition. The results show that these

Geological analysis of the dome field in western Utopia Planitia, on Mars

Icarus
Hundreds of domes are scattered over a plain composed of different geological units in the western margin of Utopia Planitia, near the northern martian dichotomy. These structures have traditionally been considered of igneous origin. In this work, we utilized recent data to study the geomorphological and compositional properties of this dome field.

A Statistical Study of Local Dust Storm Occurrences on Mars Using the 2.77 μm CO2 Band Observed by OMEGA/Mars Express

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Local Dust Storms (LDS) are defined as dust storm phenomena that cover an area smaller than 1.6 × 106 km2 or persist for less than three sols. The study of LDS is critical for understanding dust transport processes in both horizontal and vertical directions and the evolution of large‐scale dust storms on Mars.
