Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The release of carbon dioxide and water accompanying the emplacement of Tharsis magmas may have sustained a warmer climate than at present, enabling the formation of ancient valley networks and fluvial landscape denudation in and adjacent to the large-scale trough.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Borealis basin and the origin of the martian crustal dichotomy
TL;DR: It is suggested that the elliptical nature of the crustal dichotomy is most simply explained by a giant impact, representing the largest such structure thus far identified in the Solar System.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars

TL;DR: For example, the first ten months of the InSight lander on Mars revealed a planet that is seismically active and provided information about the interior, surface and atmospheric workings of Mars as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mars: The regolith-atmosphere-cap system and climate change
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived a model for the prediction of the Martian regolith-atmosphere-cap CO2 behavior, as well as for the description of the roly of the regime in climate change through descriptions of the time-temperature histories of 90 regolith 'chunks' on a latitude-depth grid.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article detected reflections of seismic waves from the core-mantle boundary of Mars using InSight seismic data and inverted these together with geodetic data to constrain the radius of the liquid metal core to 1830 ± 40 kilometers.
