説明

<jats:title>Mapping Mars' water history</jats:title> <jats:p> We know the water cycle on Earth is complex. Neither is it simple on Mars. Infrared maps of water isotopes made by Villanueva <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> show the distribution of H <jats:sub>2</jats:sub> O and “semiheavy” water (HDO: deuterated water containing a mixture of hydrogen isotopes) across Mars. HDO enrichment varies with time and location; for example, irregular isotopic signals associate with different terrain features. The measurements also allow seasonal sublimation levels of the northern ice cap to be estimated and thus could be used to reveal past climate behavior. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6231" page="218" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="348" xlink:href="10.1126/science.aaa3630">218</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
