Hydrous Components of Dusty Surfaces Inferred From Zhurong In Situ Observations

open access: yesGeophysical 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

Mud flows in the Southwestern Utopia Planitia, Mars

open access: yes
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].

Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter: Experiment summary after the first year of global mapping of Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA), an instrument on the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft, has measured the topography, surface roughness, and 1.064-μm reflectivity of Mars and the heights of volatile and dust clouds.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesInternational 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.

Scales of Martian Crustal Magnetization Constrained by MAVEN, InSight, and Zhurong

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract While Mars does not possess a currently active geodynamo, remanent crustal magnetization has been found across the planet and contains records of the origin, scale, and timing of Martian magnetization. The first in situ measurements of the Martian magnetic field on the planet's surface, at the InSight and Zhurong landing sites, allow for ...

Development of virtual morphometric globes using Blender

open access: yes, 2015
Virtual globes - programs implementing interactive three-dimensional (3D) models of planets - are increasingly used in geosciences. Global morphometric models can be useful for tectonic and planetary studies.

An ice-rich flow origin for the banded terrain in the Hellas basin, Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The interior of Hellas Basin displays a complex landscape and a variety of geomorphological domains. One of these domains, the enigmatic banded terrain covers much of the northwestern part of the basin.

Geological Mapping and Rover Mobility Planning Integration: A Case Study for Zhurong Rover’s Landing Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing
This study conducted a comprehensive geological background investigation of the Zhurong rover’s landing area in Utopia Planitia using 3.5 m/pixel DEM and 0.7 m/pixel DOM data and completed the compilation of a 1:250,000-scale geological map.

Latitude dependence of Martian pedestal craters: Evidence for a sublimation-driven formation mechanism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We report on the results of a survey to document and characterize pedestal craters on Mars equatorward of similar to 60 degrees N and 65 degrees S latitude.
