When Does the Climate Warming “Sweet Spot” Occur as Mars Transitions from Altitude-Dependent (ADD) to Latitude-Dependent Global Temperature Distribution [#2093]
As Mars transitions from Noachian (1 bar) to Amazonian (6 mbar) an optimal climate for potential melting occurs but we must still deal with the early faint Sun.

Observations of Her Desher and Nirgal Valles: An Integrated Geomorphic, Structural and Mineralogic Evaluation [#2351]
Analysis of the Nirgal and Her Desher Valles alteration layer is consistent with pedogenic smectites altered to hematite by structurally controlled groundwater.

Self-Weight Consolidation Process of Water-Saturated Deltas: Implications for Delta Morphology and Lithification and Delta Formation Timescale on Mars [#2095]
Self-weight consolidation process of water-saturated deltas on Mars and Earth.

Geomorphic Investigations of Crater Paleolakes on Mars: Reconstructing the Aqueous Record [#2275]
On Mars, several impact craters and other topographic basins once hosted lakes. Here we identify 74 candidate crater paleolakes and investigate 9 in detail.

An Explosive Mud Volcano Origin for the Pitted Cones in Southern Utopia Planitia, Mars [#1132]
A research on the origin of pitted cones in the Zhurong landing region.

Geomorphological Study of Gullies in Penticton Crater, Mars: Evidence for Late Amazonian Latitude Dependent Mantle — CANCELED [#1184]
The morphology of the gullies present in the Penticton crater, Mars are studied, classified, and their origin is interpreted using a remote sensing approach.

Interweaving RSL on Mars: Do They Support a Wet Hypothesis? [#1703]
Interweaving recurring slope lineae are unstudied features in martian geomorphology. We propose that this morphology suggests an aqueous formation mechanism.

Assessment of Recurring Slope Lineae Activity Triggering by Wind and Dust Deposition in Hale Crater [#1522]
We study RSL activity at Hale crater with a dust removal viewpoint to assess the role of triggering by wind and dust deposits and suggest a formation scenario.

A Climate Signal in Scalloped Cliff Formations in the Outcrops of the North Pole of Mars [#2491]
Our study focuses on the outcrops of the exposed layers of the north polar troughs to identify the locations where the scalloped cliff features are associated.

Geological Exploration of Southern Utopia Planitia by Tianwen-1 Zhurong Rover [#2129]
We present the recent scientific results of the geological exploration of the southern Utopia Planitia by the Tianwen-1 Zhurong rover.

Do Some Shergottite Impact Melts Contain Jarosite-Type Phases in Their Precursor Mineral-Assemblages? [#1701]
Some gas-rich impact melts in shergottites show evidence for the occurrence of jarosite-like phases in the precursor mineral assemblages (before shock).
