InSight Pressure Data Recalibration, and Its Application to the Study of Long-Term Pressure Changes on Mars

L. Lange, F. Forget, D. Banfield +9

Observations of the South Polar Residual Cap suggest a possible erosion of the cap, leading to an increase of the global mass of the atmosphere. We test this assumption by making t…

Changing spatial distribution of water flow charts major change in Mars' greenhouse effect

Edwin S. Kite, Michael A. Mischna, Bowen Fan +3

Early Mars had rivers, but the cause of Mars' wet-to-dry transition remains unknown. Past climate on Mars can be probed using the spatial distribution of climate-sensitive landform…
