- W2501925917 abstract "This chapter discusses the morphological, geological, and mineralogical features of lakes on Mars. The existence of lakes on ancient Mars is now widely accepted, but that was not always the case. The history of science shows that knowledge on any scientific question is shaped by the means of exploration and those means are molded by what we think the world is. Prior to MGS of the late 1990s, the relatively low resolution of orbital imagery made it difficult to confirm Martian paleolakes by direct observations, though their existence was inferred because valley networks had already been identified on Viking and Mariner 9 images. Whether the early climate of Mars was much warmer and wetter in the Noachian compared to the later geological epochs is still the subject of ongoing debate. The existence of standing bodies of water on Mars required that at some point in its history, possibly repeatedly, physicochemical and environmental conditions allowing water to circulate and to pond were met. In addition to mineralogy and morphology, another clue about the conditions at the time of lake formation can be revealed by numbers. At Viking resolution, 179 putative impact crater lakes were identified and 210 open lake systems were cataloged from a global survey using the most recent datasets. Combined, the results from morphology, mineralogy, and estimation of lake production support the idea that favorable conditions did exist on Mars to produce a few large bodies of water, and many more, smaller lakes that formed by processes analogous to those occurring on Earth." @default.
