The Mars Exploration Rover and Mars Science Lab missions have demonstrated that early Mars was habitable for (primitive) life as we know it. However, missions now on their way to Mars are shifting their objectives from the characterization of habitable environments to the search for prebiotic chemistry and biosignatures on ...
Two of the main questions in climate dynamics are: (1) what is the change in global mean surface temperature caused by a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, and (2) what is the change equator-to-pole temperature gradient for a given global mean temperature change. One hope is that paleoclimate records ...
