Long-term monitoring of martian gully formation and evolution with MRO/HiRISE (2015, background): “Alternatives emerged favoring melting atmospherically sourced ice, including vapor-deposited ground ice (Costard et al., 2002), cold-trapped surface frost (Hecht, 2002), or snow (Christensen, 2003).”
Geologic Constraints on Early Mars Climate (2018, background): “Given that higher-thanmodern atmospheric pressure is considered essential to river-forming climates on Mars (Hecht 2002, Wordsworth 2016), there is remarkably little direct geological evidence for instantaneous P > 0.012 bar.”
Water and Brines on Mars: Current Evidence and Implications for MSL (2013, background): “However, Hecht (2002) shows that the melting of ice might be possible”
Thermal contraction crack polygons on Mars: Classification, distribution, and climate implications from HiRISE observations (2009, background): “Such a dry mechanism can occur effectively on equator-facing slopes which are preferentially susceptible to sublimation [Hecht, 2002], and is consistent with the preservation of proximal surfaces (e.g., brain terrain), which are $100 Ma old, but which do not appear to have been degraded by…”
Formation of Martian Gullies by the Action of Liquid Water Flowing Under Current Martian Environmental Conditions (2005, background): “Previous researchers proposed numerous mechanisms to supply water (andotherfluids)toformthegullies[MalinandEdgett,2000; Gaidos, 2001; Mellon and Phillips, 2001; Musselwhite et al., 2001;BridgesandHecht,2002;Costardetal.,2002;Gilmore and Phillips, 2002; Knauth and Burt, 2002; Heldmann and Mellon, 200”
High latitude patterned grounds on Mars: Classification, distribution and climatic control (2005, background): “A recent model also proposes the liquid water in the ground to be stable enough time before being sublimated (Hecht, 2002) whereas the winter CO2 atterned grounds on Mars 355”
North polar cap of Mars: Polar layered deposit characterization and identification of a fundamental climate signal (2005, unknown): “The trough geometry and orientation could affect insolation intensity [Hecht, 2002] or katabatic wind flow, which in turn would affect erosion of material through sublimation and erosion [e.g., Howard, 2000].”
