La Planète Mars et ses Conditions d'Habitabilité
TLDR
Flammarion as mentioned in this paper gave a very excellent and complete summary of the observations of the planet Mars, made between the epochs 1636-1890, compiled by the distinguished French astronomer, Monsieur Camille Flammarion.Abstract:
IN the year 1893 we had the great pleasure of giving our readers some account (vol. xlvii., p. 553) of the very excellent and complete summary of the observations of the planet Mars, made between the epochs 1636–1890, compiled by the distinguished French astronomer, Monsieur Camille Flammarion. This work, containing no fewer than 604 pages, presented us with a most interesting survey of the progress made in enumerating and deciphering the markings observed on the planet's surface. It commenced with the earliest known observation of the planet, namely, that of the Neapolitan astronomer Fontana, on August 24, 1638, who wrote:— La Planete Mars et ses Conditions d'Habitabilite. By Camille Flammarion. Tome ii., Observations faites de 1890 a 1901. Pp. 604. (Paris: Gauthier Villars, 1909.) Price 12 francs.read more

Global warming and climate forcing by recent albedo changes on Mars
TL;DR: In this article, a Mars global circulation model has been used to establish whether these changes contribute to climate change, and the answer is yes: these changes caused elevated air temperatures, increased wind stresses and dust devil production, creating a positive feedback loop between dust erosion and albedo.

Albedo models for the residual south polar cap on Mars: Implications for the stability of the cap under near-perihelion global dust storm conditions
TL;DR: In this paper, the radiative effects of a planet encircling dust storm that starts during late Martian southern spring on the stability of the perennial south polar cap were investigated. But the results suggest that a single storm with onset near solstice can affect the perennial cap's stability, leading to advanced sublimation in a "dusty" year.

Observational evidence for a dry dust-wind origin of Mars seasonal dark flows
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that salts spectral identification is not robust and that flow activity occurs on a wider range of seasons and slope orientations than previously thought, ruling out liquid water as a probable contributor, and they then show that morphology, location and timing of flow activity is fully consistent with the removal and deposition of bright dust above darker underlying surfaces occurring notably in relation with seasonal dust storm activity.

The International Atlas of Mars Exploration: The First Five Decades
TL;DR: The Mars Exploration Atlas as mentioned in this paper is the most detailed visual reference available, covering the first five decades of the exploration of Mars and includes annotated maps, photographs, tables and detailed descriptions of every Mars mission in chronological order, from the dawn of the space age to Mars Express.

Cycle actuel de l'eau sur Mars : étude des dépôts saisonniers de l'hémisphère nord par télédétection hyperspectrale (OMEGA/Mars Express)
TL;DR: In this paper, anneau de glace d'eau entoure systematiquement les depots saisonniers riches en CO2 and constitue une source importante de vapeur d'Eau lors de sa sublimation.
