Hydrology
1 reportHydrology is studied through field observations, geophysics, geochemistry, remote sensing, and models of planetary processes. Researchers test interpretations with groundwater, evapotranspiration, and primary observations, while incomplete records, model assumptions, and measurement limits constrain certainty.
Streamflow and water balance support the strongest interpretation available. The account remains focused on how groundwater storage changes and what models assume about runoff, distinguishing a consistent pattern from a uniquely established explanation.

Perseverance Finds Three Water Episodes in Ancient Mars Rocks
Perseverance has analyzed igneous rocks in Mars' Jezero Crater that record at least three separate interactions with water, including a later episode involving heated underground fluids.
