New study suggests Mars carbonates hidden underground

A new study co-authored by SETI Institute affiliate Mohit Melwani Daswani addresses a long-standing puzzle about Mars: the planet shows signs of a wet past, yet its carbonate rock record is sparse. The research suggests groundwater may have carried much of that carbonate material underground, meaning future missions could find evidence of Mars' wetter history beneath the surface rather than in exposed rocks.

Why now: Fresh research on Mars' missing carbonate rocks offers a new lead in the search for the planet's watery past.
