英文摘要 | Hundreds of ancient lake basins detected on Mars via orbital remote sensing represent rare oases of hydrosphere-atmosphere-lithosphere interactions with great astrobiological potential. These palaeolake basins, and associated lacustrine deposits, could preserve evidence of biogenesis on Mars, and their geology, mineralogy and geochemistry place strong constraints on past climate. Most Martian palaeolakes date to the Noachian (>3.7 Gyr ago (Ga)) and probably lasted similar to 10(2)-10(6) years, representing only a small fraction of the similar to 400 Myr of Noachian time. However, some palaeolakes occurred during the Hesperian (3-3.7 Ga), and it is likely that many shallow thermokarst lakes occurred in the Amazonian (<3 Ga) but left few traces. Noachian lacustrine deposits contain detrital Fe/Mg-rich clay minerals as well as authigenic Fe/Mg carbonates, sulfates, silica, chlorides and clay minerals that potentially preserve the characteristics of the ancient atmosphere and climate. While Martian palaeolakes are undeniably among the top targets for future surface exploration and sample return, many questions surrounding prospects for biogenesis and biological productivity in short-lived lakes and transient warm climates on an otherwise cold planet remain. Martian lakes also provide tremendous comparative value for reconstructing the geology and geobiology of inland waters on the Archaean Earth. |
