Recent formation and evolution of northern Martian polar layered deposits as inferred from a Global Climate Model (2007, methodology): “Most of this water seems to return to the cap during the receding of the seasonal waterice cap in spring [e.g., Richardson and Wilson, 2002 ] and by precipitation from the polar hood during fall and winter [Richardson and Wilson, 2002; Montmessin et al., 2004].”
Temperature inversions, thermal tides, and water ice clouds in the Martian tropics (2003, background): “…[Wilson, 1997; Richardson and Wilson, 2002a], thermal tides [Wilson, 2000, 2002], transient eddies [Hinson and Wilson, 2002; Wilson et al., 2002], the water cycle [Richardson and Wilson, 2002b], water ice clouds [Richardson et al., 2002], and stationary planetary waves [Hinson et al., 2003].”
Simulation of the Martian dust cycle with the GFDL Mars GCM (2004, methodology): “The model has been described in various papers used to study Martian thermal tides [Wilson and Hamilton, 1996; Wilson and Richardson, 2000; Wilson, 2000; Hinson and Wilson, 2004], surface winds [Fenton and Richardson, 2001], the water cycle [Richardson and Wilson, 2002; Richardson et al., 2002], tra”
The Modern Near-Surface Martian Climate: A Review of In-situ Meteorological Data from Viking to Curiosity (2017, methodology): “…of Mars is not required to account for current seasonal variations in the integrated H2O column abundance observed from orbit (Jakosky 1985; Richardson and Wilson 2002), which, in combination with modeling, have been used to determine the relative importance of the various processes…”
Origin and evolution of a cold-based tropical mountain glacier on Mars: The Pavonis Mons fan-shaped deposit (2005, background): “[10] We have reexamined the Tharsis Montes fan-shaped deposits using new Mars Global Surveyor and Mars Odyssey data in conjunction with the previous Viking Orbiter data.”
Tropical mountain glaciers on Mars: Altitude-dependence of ice accumulation, accumulation conditions, formation times, glacier dynamics, and implications for planetary spin-axis/orbital history (2007, background): “Furthermore, atmospheric GCMs have improved sufficiently to include high-resolution simulations of circulation under different spin-axis/orbital parameter variations and to include the transport and deposition of water (Richardson and Wilson, 2002; Haberle et al., 2003; Mischna et al., 2004).”
Origin and role of water ice clouds in the Martian water cycle as inferred from a general circulation model (2004, methodology): “Results shown by Richardson and Wilson [2002] for their active regolith simulations suggest that the regolith helps water to build away from the north polar region.”

Long term evolution and chaotic diffusion of the insolation quantities of Mars (2004, unknown): “Climatic simulations with orbital parameters close to the “standard model” shows that large increases in summer insolation may cause dynamical instability of the polar caps and an intensive sublimation multiplying global atmospheric humidity by a factor ∼ 50 (Jakosky et al., 1995; Richardson and Wil”

Equatorial and midlatitude distribution of chlorine measured by Mars Odyssey GRS (2007, background): “Many causes have been proposed for episodes of increased water column abundances, including periods of higher obliquity [e.g., Forget et al. ,2 006;Jakosky and Carr, 1985; Richardson and Wilson, 2002 ], impacts, catastrophic outflows, and increased volcanism [Hort and Weitz, 2001].”
Extensive valley glacier deposits in the northern mid-latitudes of Mars: Evidence for Late Amazonian obliquity-driven climate change (2006, background): “These studies [4–7] show that at obliquities of 458 or more, water vapor mobilized from the polar regions is redistributed at mid-latitudes, is stable there as ice, and will accumulate if obliquity remains at these values.”
On the orbital forcing of Martian water and CO2 cycles: A general circulation model study with simplified volatile schemes (2003, methodology): “The s25 case presents a cycle very similar to that shown by Richardson and Wilson [2002a]. The s25 case (Figure 11a) reaches an approximate equilibrium in the 34 years shown with the northern polar budget becoming repeatable after the first few years.”
The Polar Deposits of Mars (2009, background): “A little investigated question is how the SPLD accumulated, given that the topographic asymmetry between the poles consistently favors north polar ice accumulation (Richardson & Wilson 2002) and that the crater record shows these deposits have survived many obliquity cycles.”
North polar cap of Mars: Polar layered deposit characterization and identification of a fundamental climate signal (2005, unknown): “In this case, the combination of increased dust storm activity and decreased ice deposition and retention during periods of mean high obliquity [e.g., Jakosky et al., 1995; Richardson and Wilson, 2002; Haberle et al., 2003; Mischna et al., 2003] could produce a higher dust-to-ice ratio and a gener”
