Using a validated general circulation model, we determine where and for how long the surface pressure and surface temperature on Mars meet the minimum requirements for the existence of liquid water in the present climate system: pressures and temperatures above the triple point of water but below ...
Multiple nations and private entities are pushing to make landing humans on Mars a reality. The majority of proposed mission architectures envision ‘living off the land’ by leveraging Martian water-ice deposits for fuel production and other purposes. F
" saysSandra McCune, HAI Scientific Leader, WALTHAM. "The study adds further support to this agenda and for establishing 'pet-friendly' cities, towns and accommodation. The availability of parks and open spaces suitable for dog walking is essential...

The present-day water cycle on Mars has implications for habitability and future human exploration. Water ice clouds and water vapour have been detected above the Tharsis volcanic province, suggesting the active exchange of water between regolith and atm
Water availability across the globe plays a crucial role in shaping livelihoods, socioeconomic development, and ecosystems. However, it is anticipated that this availability will undergo substantial transformations in the next few decades due ...
Also, the future potential exploration of Mars by humans is conditioned by the availability to produce in-situ critical products such as water, oxygen or propellant. Recently it has been shown that liquid water can be stable on Mars in the form of brines (Martín-Torres et al., 2015). ...
Equilibrium parameter used to quantify the partition of a radioelement between solid (soil or sediment) and liquid phases (overlaying or interstitial water), expressed as the ratio of activity concentration in solids (Bq kg−1) to activity concentration in water (Bq m−3). Units of m3kg...
Remote sensing of the Martian atmosphere and monitoring ions escaping to space while the spacecraft is orbiting Mars in the equatorial orbit are also planned. The camera with multi-wavelength filters and the infrared spectrometer onboard the spacecraft can monitor rapid transport processes of water ...
Our results show that even brine seeps, although they represent local regions of water availability, could be deleterious to cells, indigenous or contaminant if, as spectral evidence suggests, they contain perchlorates. The enhancement of the bacteriocidal properties of perchlorates by UV-irradiation ...
