This project explores the geological history of Mars, specifically the formation of Kasei Valles, to understand its ancient climate and hydrological systems. It challenges existing theories by investigating the possibility of ice streams eroding the landscape rather than megafloods.
Mars is a hyperarid, global cryosphere, and likely has been for over 3 Gyr.
However, during the so-called early Mars period 4-3.5 Gyr go, water flowed within thousands of valleys, in crater lakes, producing ancient deltas, building ice sheets, and possibly ponding in oceans.
Surface liquid water was stable on Mars coinciding with the origin of life on Earth.
However, this early benign climate collapsed with the continued loss of Mars atmosphere in the Hesperian period, ~3.5-3 Gyr ago.
