Dynamic Mars: Recent and Current Landscape Evolution of the Red Planet de Richard Soare

Dynamic Mars: Recent and Current Landscape Evolution of the Red Planet

Editat de Richard Soare, Susan Conway, Stephen M. Clifford
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2018
Dynamic Mars: Recent and Current Landscape Evolution of the Red Planetpresents the latest observations, interpretations, and explanations of geological change at the surface or near-surface of this terrestrial body. These changes raise questions about a decades-old paradigm, formed largely in the aftermath of very coarse Mariner-mission imagery in the 1960s, suggesting that much of the interesting geological activity on Mars occurred deep in its past, eons ago. The book includes discussions of (1) Mars’ ever-changing atmosphere and the impact of this on the planet’s surface and near-surface; (2) the possible involvement of water in relatively new, if not contemporary, gully-like flows and slope streaks (i.e. recurring slope lineae); and (3) the identification of a broad suite of agents and processes (i.e. glacial, periglacial, aeolian, meteorological, volcanic, and meteoric) that are actively revising surface and near-surface landscapes, landforms, and features on a local, regional, and hemispheric scale.
Highly illustrated and punctuated by data from the most recent Mars missions,Dynamic Marsis a valuable resource for all levels of research in the geological history of Mars, as well as of the three other terrestrial planets.


  • Utilizes observational and model-based data as well as geological context to frame the understanding of Mars’ dynamic surface and near-surface
  • Presents a broad spectrum of highly regarded experts and themes to discuss and evaluate the geological history of late and current Mars
  • Includes extensive and detailed imagery to clearly illustrate these themes, discussions, and evaluations
