A chronology of early Mars climatic evolution from impact crater degradation (2012, background): “[44] Our chronology shows that type II craters formed from the Early Hesperian to earliest Amazonian epochs that are known to have been significantly colder than the Noachian period [e.g., Carr and Head, 2010].”
Formation timescales of large Martian valley networks (2011, result): “The hypothesis that the Martian valley networks formed during periods of climate change caused primarily by impact events early in Martian history (e.g. Segura et al., 2008) is not supported by the results of this nor other work (e.g. Fassett and Head, 2008b, 2011; Hynek et al., 2010).”
The Climate of Early Mars (2016, methodology): “The Hellas impact is commonly taken to represent the pre-Noachian/Noachian boundary (Nimmo & Tanaka 2005; Fassett & Head 2011).”
Global modelling of the early Martian climate under a denser CO2 atmosphere: Water cycle and ice evolution (2012, background): “Geological evidence suggests that throughout much of the Amazonian, the mean annual surface temperatures of Mars have been so cold that basal melting does not occur in ice sheets or glaciers [e.g., Fastook et al., 2008, Head et al., 2010, Fastook et al., 2011].”
Large impact crater histories of Mars: The effect of different model crater age techniques (2013, methodology): “Frey (2008) also used large QCD superposed ages, while Werner (2008) and Fassett and Head (2011) used the isochron method, the former using Neukum-based isochrons and the latter using both systems.”
Widespread surface weathering on early Mars: A case for a warmer and wetter climate (2015, background): “…widespread aqueous environments existed on Mars, from the surface to kilometric depths and which have altered the planet on a planetary scale (Poulet et al., 2005; Squyres et al., 2006; Morris et al., 2010; Murchie et al., 2009; Carter et al., 2010; Fassett and Head, 2011; Ehlmann et al., 2011).”
Transient reducing greenhouse warming on early Mars (2016, background): “Because peak valley network formation occurs toward the end of the Noachian, a period of higher impact ﬂux than today [ Fassett and Head , 2008b, 2011], this mechanism deserves detailed investigation in future.”
