DnoticiasThe red planet may not have always been desertive, discover researchers from Japan and Spain. Measurements over the loss of water for thousands of years led to new geographical conclusions.
Madrid. An anomalous and intense dust storm of local scale was able to boost the transport of water to the highest layers of the Martian atmosphere during the summer of the northern hemisphere of the planet, a time when this process was not considered relevant, according to a study led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía of the Higher Council of Scientific Research (IAA-CSIC) and the University of Tokyo.
A storm of anomalous and local-scale dust pushed water vapor to the high layers of the atmosphere of Mars during the summer of the northern hemisphere. That period was not considered key in the loss of water from the planet.The finding arose from a study led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia of the CSIC and the University of Tokyo.The research, published in Communications: Earth & Environment, provides a new explanation on how Mars b…
An Unusual Dust Storm Reveals How Mars Lost Some Of Its Water - Astrobiology
The current image of Mars as an arid and hostile desert contrasts with the history revealed by its surface. Channels, minerals altered by water, and other geological traces indicate that the Red Planet was once a much wetter and more dynamic world. Reconstructing how this water-rich environment disappeared remains one of the great challenges of […] The post An Unusual Dust Storm Reveals How Mars Lost Some Of Its Water appeared first on Astrobiol…
The Red Planet was, in its early days, a much more humid and dynamic world.
