Water on Mars—A Literature Review by Mohammad Nazari-Sharabian, Mohammad Aghababaei, Moses Karakouzian, Mehrdad Karami

“…While the presence of abundant water on Mars very early in its history is widely accepted, on its modern form, only a fraction of this water can be found, as either ice or locked into the structure of Mars’ plentiful water-rich materials. …”

Environmental assessment of the waters of Mar Ibn Najm by كفاح الاسدي, حسن حسن

“… Through the discussion of this research, it is clear that the temperature of the water of Mar Ibn Najm is suitable for drinking according to the specifications of the World Health Organization, while this water was characterized by a low degree of transparency due to the density of organic matter suspended in this water and the density of aquatic plants, which reduces its suitability for drinking. …”

Elevated olivine weathering rates and sulfate formation at cryogenic temperatures on Mars by Paul B. Niles, Joseph Michalski, Douglas W. Ming, D. C. Golden

“…Sulphate-rich sediments have been taken as evidence of surface water on Mars. Here, the authors show that cryo-concentrated brines chemically weather olivine minerals forming sulfate minerals at up to −60 °C, showing that cryogenic weathering and sulfate formation can occur under current Martian conditions.…”

TDEM for Martian in situ resource prospecting missions by G. Tacconi, S. Pagnan, C. Ottonello, R. Filippini

“…This paper presents a TDEM (Time Domain Electromagnetic Methods) application, addressed to the search
 for water on Mars. In this context, the opportunities for a TDEM system as payload in a future mission are
 investigated for different in situ exploration scenarios. …”

Jarosites: Formation, Structure, Reactivity and Environmental by Montserrat Cruells, Antoni Roca

“…Jarosite and alunite have also been detected on the surface of Mars; the presence of jarosite and alunite and other sulfates provides evidence for the existence of water on Mars. In this work, an exhaustive review of the natural formation, synthesis, structure, thermodynamics, and reactivity of jarosite, beudantite and alunite are included. …”

Tide-surge interaction in the English Channel by D. Idier, F. Dumas, H. Muller

“…To examine this further, a numerical modelling approach is chosen, based on the 2DH shallow-water model (MARS). The surges are computed both with and without tide interaction. …”

Determining the Volcanic Eruption Style of Tephra Deposits From Infrared Spectroscopy by M. J. B. Henderson, B. H. N. Horgan, M. C. Rowe, K. T. Wall, N. A. Scudder

“…If this is the case, these deposits could serve as an additional record of past water on Mars. Previous work has demonstrated that phreatomagmatic tephra is characterized by much lower crystallinities than tephras from other types of eruptions. …”

Bacterial molecular machinery in the Martian cryosphere conditions by Víctor Muñoz-Hisado, Fátima Ruiz-Blas, Jesús Manuel Sobrado, Eva Garcia-Lopez, Emma Martinez-Alonso, Alberto Alcázar, Cristina Cid

“…Although the surface of Mars is now dry and arid, abundant research suggests that water covered Mars billions of years ago. Recently, the existence of liquid water in subglacial lakes has been postulated below the South pole of Mars. …”

Molting cycle and reproduction in the population of the shrimp Pleoticus muelleri (Crustacea, Penaeoidea) from Mar del Plata by AC Díaz, AM Petriella, JL Fenucci

“… The relationship between the molting cycle and gonadal maturation was investigated in the Pleoticus muelleri population from coastal waters of Mar del Plata, Argentina. The analysis of the molting activity revealed activity patterns that vary conspicuously with both the changes in shrimp reproductive status and the season. …”

Evaluating Treatment Requirements for Recycled Water to Manage Well Clogging during Aquifer Storage and Recovery: A Case Study in the Werribee Formation, Australia by Joanne L. Vanderzalm, Declan W. Page, Karen E. Barry, Dennis Gonzalez

“…The recharge water is a blend of 40% Class A recycled water and 60% reverse osmosis (RO)-treated Class A recycled water. Four source waters for MAR were evaluated: (1) this blend with no further treatment, and this blend with additional treatment using: (2) a 20 µm sediment cartridge filter, (3) a 5 µm sediment cartridge filter, or (4) a 5 µm granular activated carbon (GAC) cartridge filter. …”

Lake-Level Changes and Their Paleo-Climatic Implications at the MIS12 Lower Paleolithic (Middle Pleistocene) Site Marathousa 1, Greece by Ines J. E. Bludau, Ines J. E. Bludau, Penelope Papadopoulou, George Iliopoulos, Max Weiss, Ellen Schnabel, Nicholas Thompson, Nicholas Thompson, Vangelis Tourloukis, Vangelis Tourloukis, Charlotte Zachow, Styliani Kyrikou, Styliani Kyrikou, George E. Konidaris, George E. Konidaris, Panagiotis Karkanas, Eleni Panagopoulou, Katerina Harvati, Katerina Harvati, Katerina Harvati, Annett Junginger, Annett Junginger

“…In particular, when the SSTs are high, more moisture reaches the study area and vice versa. Additional water reaches MAR-1 through melting of the surrounding glaciers after brief warm phases during MIS12 in the Mediterranean realm, which leads to the formation of smaller fresh water ponds, where also the horizon of the excavated remains is placed. …”
