Local Ice Mass Balance Rates via Bayesian Analysis of Mars Polar Trough Migration Open
With the aim of better understanding the past depositional environment of the north polar region of Mars, we infer local ice accumulation and retreat rates in the area between 86° and 87°N and 16°–20°E. We follow a novel approach utilizing…

Exploring Martian Magnetic Fields with a Helicopter Open
The era of helicopter-based surveys on Mars has already begun, creating opportunities for future aerial science investigations with a range of instruments. We argue that magnetometer-based studies can make use of aerial technology to answe…

Surface Dust Redistribution on Mars From Interannual Differences in Temperature and Albedo Open
The present climate of Mars is punctuated by recurring dust storm events, where dust is lifted from the surface and is transported by the atmosphere. Dust addition or removal can brighten or darken the surface, as well as affect thermal in…

Orbital Forcing of Martian Climate Revealed in a South Polar Outlier Ice Deposit Open
Deciphering paleoclimate on Mars has been a driving goal of Martian science for decades. Most research has addressed this issue by studying Mars' large polar layered deposits (PLDs) as a paleoclimate proxy, but the certainty to which we kn…

Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery at Mars Using a Jetpack Open
Mid-Air Helicopter Delivery (MAHD) is a new Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) architecture to enable in situ mobility for Mars science at lower cost than previous missions. It uses a jetpack to slow down a Mars Science Helicopter (MSH) afte…

Past, Present, and Future of Mars Polar Science: Outcomes and Outlook from the 7th International Conference on Mars Polar Science and Exploration Open
Mars Polar Science is a subfield of Mars science that encompasses all studies of the cryosphere of Mars and its interaction with the Martian environment. Every 4 yr, the community of scientists dedicated to this subfield meets to discuss n…

Islands of ice on Mars and Pluto Open
Ice sheets, such as the polar layered deposits (PLDs) of Mars, are of great interest as records of past climate. Smaller outlier ice deposits near the north and south PLDs are likely more sensitive to climate changes and thus may hold info…

Thermophysical Properties of the North Polar Residual Cap using Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer Open
Using derived temperatures from thermal‐infrared instruments aboard orbiting spacecraft, we constrain the thermophysical properties, in the upper few meters, of the north polar residual cap of Mars. In line with previous authors we test a …

A Migration Model for the Polar Spiral Troughs of Mars Open
Mars' iconic polar spiral troughs are 400–1,000‐m‐deep depressions in the north polar layered deposits. As the north polar layered deposits accumulate, troughs migrate approximately poleward, anti‐parallel to the local wind patterns. Insol…

Observations of a new stabilizing effect for polar water ice on Mars Open
Using the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), we map the temporal variability of water ice absorption bands over the near-polar ice mound in Louth crater, Mars. The absorption band depth of water ice at 1.5 micron…
