The history of Martian volatiles
Open accessAbstract
The behavior of water and other volatiles on Mars is key to understanding the evolution of the climate. The early climate played a fundamental role in producing the observed surface morphology and possibly in enabling the existence of an early biosphere. Geochemical and isotopic data can be used to infer the history of volatiles. On the basis of the isotopic data from the atmosphere and from components of the surface (as measured in meteorites that come from Mars), there appear to be at least two reservoirs of volatiles, one that has undergone exchange with the atmosphere and has been isotopically fractionated, and a second that is unfractionated and may represent juvenile gases. The fractionation of the atmospheric component has occurred primarily through the escape of gas to space. In addition, the atmospheric gases have mixed substantially with crustal reservoirs of volatiles. Such exchange may have occurred in aqueous or hydrothermal environments. The history of escape to space, as driven by the properties of the Sun through time, is consistent with the surface geomorphology. Together, they suggest an early environment that was substantially different from the present one and the evolution through time to a colder, dryer climate.

“The escape rate of CO 2 to space until the Hesperian is highly uncertain. Escape rates were highest just after Mars' formation, and the isotopic fractionation of noble gases in the atmosphere indicates the majority of the primordial atmosphere was lost very early (Jakosky & Jones 1997).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
