Abstract:<p>Paleolakes on Mars have been proposed to be hydrologically active for thousands of years. They provide water, the prime ingredient for life to develop, and quiescent settings, making these lakes excellent targets in preserving biosignatures. Since ground truth analysis on Mars is limited to certain locations, most of the interpretations about Martian geology and past climate have been made through remote sensing. This study presents a comprehensive account of the physical and chemical aspects … Show more
