Wave-like soil patterns on the Martian surface match those found in Earth's cold, mountain regions, which could help scientists better understand the Red Planet's climate history and search for signs ...

Mars may be dry, dusty, and far from hospitable today, but new research suggests it once shared more in common with Earth than we thought. A team of scientists from the University of Rochester has ...

Abstract: The main pipelines passing through the distribution area of the permafrost zone are affected by various negative processes, such as, for example, thermokarst, swelling, erosion, solifluction ...
