A research roadmap for assessing the feasibility of warming Mars
E. S. Kite, A. Essunfeld, M. H. Hecht +22
This roadmap outlines research pathways to determine whether Mars could be warmed with non-biological methods. It does not presuppose that warming Mars is desirable; its purpose is…
Modelling the long-term impacts of artificial warming on the Martian water cycle and surface ice distribution
Ashwin S. Braude, Edwin S. Kite, Mark I. Richardson +2
Recent papers by Ansari et al. (2024, Science Advances 10, eadn4650) and Richardson et al. (2025, arXiv eprint 2504.01455) have suggested that global warming of the Martian surface…
Atmospheric dynamics of IR-active particles released from Mars' surface
Mark I. Richardson, Samaneh Ansari, Bowen Fan +7
Surface release of radiatively active particles, with high infrared- (IR-)to-visible extinction ratios, has been proposed as a method of warming Mars. However, to warm Mars using a…
Why are Mountaintops Cold? The Transition of Surface Lapse Rate on Dry Planets
Bowen Fan, Malte F. Jansen, Michael A. Mischna +1
Understanding surface temperature is important for habitability. Recent work on Mars has found that the dependence of surface temperature on elevation (surface lapse rate) converge…
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…
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery at Mars Using a Jetpack
Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Samuel Sirlin +32
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery (MAHD) is a new Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) architecture to enable in situ mobility for Mars science at lower cost than previous missions. It uses…
