Many investigators of the early martian climate have suggested that a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere was present and warmed the surface above the melting point of water (J.B. Pollack, J.F. Kasting, S.M. Richardson, and K. Poliakoff 1987. Icarus 71, 203-224). However, J.F. Kasting (1991. Icarus 94,

Impact-produced glasses in some martian meteorites have trapped significant amounts of the recent martian atmosphere. From literature data, we estimate that βΌ9% of the trapped 80 Kr in these meteorites was produced from neutron capture on 79 Br. Estimates of neutron fluences made from 80 Kr and 149
This paper analyzes the diurnal evolution of temperature inside and in the vicinity of a small scale trench in the martian soil. Although the work presented was motivated by the artificial trench to be dug during the Mars Polar Lander (MPL) mission, the results are also applicable to natural structu
