TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the findings of a COSPAR Mars Special Regions Colloquium held in Rome in 2007 and conclude that any region experiencing temperatures <−25°C for a few hours a year and a water activity ≥ 0.5 can potentially allow the replication of terrestrial microorganisms.
