Constraints on the Size and Composition of the Ancient Martian Atmosphere from Coupled CO2–N2–Ar Isotopic Evolution Models

Present-day Mars is cold and dry, but mineralogical and morphological evidence shows that liquid water existed on the surface of ancient Mars. In order to explain this evidence and assess ancient Mars’s habitability, one must understand the size and composition of the ancient atmosphere. Here we pla...
