Researchers believe that Mars might be home to ice deposits outside of its poles that surpass the volume contained in the Great Lakes.

NASA's Perseverance rover has rambled over a region of Mars where scientists say a strong river once emptied into a crater, ...

Ghost rivers, hidden lakes: The long search for water on Mars Martian lake beds and deltas reveal the Red Planet’s watery past. But many puzzles remain, scientist Bruce Jakosky says.

In the coming decades, missions to explore Mars will determine whether the Red Planet is fit for human beings to live there someday. To make it friendlier to life, the conditions on Mars need to ...

There is plenty of water on Mars, but most of it is frozen in the polar ice caps and buried underground. Despite the chilly temperatures, there could be liquid water underneath the surface ice in ...

Scientists studying soil samples from Nasa's Curiosity rover have discovered that a carbon cycle similar to the one that sustains life on Earth once played out on the red planet. While it's unclear ...

I am particularly interested in polar ice caps and their interactions with planetary atmospheres. For example, the polar deposits of Mars record striking climate changes driven by seasonal cycles, ...

Glacier-like features, where a mass of material appears to have flowed downhill between two ridges, hint at where ice probably accumulated in the past in the mid-latitudes of Mars. Credit ...
