This book's main themes focus on the environmental evolution of
Mars and the exploration of the planet. Particular emphasis is
given to the understanding of Mars as a "cold" planet throughout
its entire geological evolution, starting as a "wet" world where
liquid water was abundant on the surface, albeit the low
temperatures, and its sequential transition into a "dry" planet as
temperatures turned even colder. The evolution of the environmental
conditions is regarded as a determinant for the emergence and
maintenance of life. The book will give insights into the evolution
of a variety of landscapes relating to the geological development
of Mars, and their potential to harbour life, including the
analysis of relevant terrestrial analogues in Antarctica. Also
discussed is the cold hydrogeological evolution of Mars as recorded
in the types and sequence of deposition of the aqueous minerals
existing in the surface and subsurface of the planet.
