Billions of years ago, Mars was warm, wet, and capable of sustaining liquid water on its surface. Scientists have long ...

The Curiosity rover identified hidden caches of the mineral siderite, which could help explain why Mars lost its habitable climate.

A surprise discovery in Gale Crater is the component that was missing in the puzzle of Mars's climate history. There, ...

A small, UK government-funded project called SeaCURE, has found a way of sucking carbon out of the ocean, and storing it.

This release could have slightly delayed Mars' cooling by briefly restoring atmospheric carbon. A functioning carbon cycle is essential for maintaining habitable conditions. On Earth, carbon ...
