Understanding how air moves across a planet is key to predicting its weather and climate. On Earth, these patterns shape ...

Study coauthor Michael Manga, a professor of Earth and planetary science at the University of California, Berkeley, and his ...

In 2017, he revisited the study and suggested that Tharsis altered Mars' rotation 4 billion years ago. "Because the spin axis of Mars has changed, the shape of Mars has changed. And so what used to be ...

A Chinese rover found evidence of ancient beaches on Mars, suggesting the planet once had vast oceans 4 billion years ago. The discovery of sloping sand layers beneath the surface provides new ...

Mars' atmosphere moves differently from Earth's due to gravity waves. These waves affect air circulation at high altitudes.

A new study by researchers including those at the University of Tokyo revealed that atmospheric gravity waves play a crucial ...

A Chinese rover that landed on Mars in 2021 detected evidence of underground beach deposits in an area thought to have once ...
