Published in 2019 at "Icarus"

DOI: 10.1016/j.icarus.2018.12.024

Abstract: Abstract The north polar cap (NPC) on Mars is the major reservoir of atmospheric water (H2O) currently on Mars. The retrieval and monitoring of atmospheric water vapor abundance are crucial for tracking the cycle of… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Geophysical Research Letters"

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl099896

Abstract: Interpretation of radar sounder reflections to infer the structure and composition of the martian polar caps depends on whether bright returns correspond to single packed dust layers or a more finely layered structure. Reflections from… read more here.

Published in 2025 at "Nature Communications"

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-56018-2

Abstract: Ongoing mass wasting through ice block falls is intensive at the north polar ice cap of Mars. We monitored how this activity is currently shaping the marginal steep scarps of the ice cap, which holds… read more here.

Published in 2022 at "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society"

DOI: 10.1093/mnras/stac577

Abstract: We investigated the detailed plasma condition of the North Polar Spur (NPS)/Loop I using archival Suzaku data. In previous research collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) have been assumed for X-ray plasma state, but we also assume… read more here.
