The stratigraphy and history of Mars' northern lowlands through mineralogy of impact craters: A comprehensive survey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The basin-filling materials of the northern lowlands, which cover approximately one third of Mars' surface, record the long-term evolution of Mars' geology and climate.

Statistics of Mars' topography from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Slopes, correlations, and physical Models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Data obtained recently by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) were used to study the statistical properties of the topography and slopes on Mars. We find that the hemispheric dichotomy, manifested as an elevation difference, can be described by long ...

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 ...

Martian clouds observed by Mars Global Surveyor Mars Orbiter Camera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We have made daily global maps that cover both polar and equatorial regions of Mars for Ls 135°–360° and 0°–111° using the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Mars Orbiter Camera (MOC) red and blue wide-angle swaths taken from May 1999 to January 2001.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Crater-based Dating of Hebrus Valles and Hephaestus Fossae, Mars

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Hebrus Valles (HV) and Hephaestus Fossae (HF) are connected outflow channel systems in Utopia Planitia, Mars. Previous investigations concluded that these features were carved by liquid water into a tectonically fractured terrain in the Late Hesperian or

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review

open access: yesReviews 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Crater Retention Timescales of Brain Coral Terrain Record Past Climatic Change on Mars

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Glacial landforms on Mars offer an opportunity to decipher the planet’s recent climate history. We used crater size frequency distributions of brain coral terrain on concentric crater fill, lobate debris aprons, and lineated valley fill, all of which ...
