Summary: This study identified a special type of small-sized mounds and pits in the Zhurong landing region using high-resolution images acquired by the Tianwen-1 orbiter. The mounds are likely to be lava domes, while the pits may have been formed through the sublimation of subsurface volatiles.

Summary: In this study, using data from China's Zhurong rover and high-resolution remote sensing, the researchers investigated transverse aeolian ridges in the Zhurong landing region of Utopia Planitia on Mars. They proposed a two-stage evolutionary scenario for the ridges and identified polygonal features with hydrated minerals on their surface for the first time. The study discusses possible formation mechanisms for these features and suggests they may be linked to recent aqueous activity and atmosphere-surface water exchange on Mars, providing insights into the hydrological cycle of Mars in its current cold and dry climate.

Summary: Through studying the mesas in the Zhurong landing region, we have identified morphological evidence for ice-bearing mesas and their sedimentary origin. The mesas are formed by the erosion of sedimentary layers and represent the Noachian oceanic sediments. We have proposed an evolutionary model for the mesas.

Summary: Decades of research using remotely sensed data have provided evidence for the presence of an ocean on Mars in the northern lowlands, but controversy remained due to the lack of in situ analysis. The Tianwen-1/Zhurong rover, located near the Vastitas Borealis Formation (VBF), has conducted in situ analysis revealing sedimentary structures and features that support the existence of an ancient ocean on Mars.

Summary: Landforms on the Martian surface provide valuable insights into past surface processes, but the modern hydroclimatic conditions on Mars are still not well understood. This study reports the discovery of various surface features on salt-rich dunes in southern Utopia Planitia, suggesting the involvement of saline water from thawed frost/snow as the most likely cause. The findings shed light on the more humid conditions of the modern Martian climate and have important implications for future exploration missions searching for signs of extant life.

Summary: Pitted cones on the surface of Mars are cone-shaped structures with summit depressions, and they have various origins. In this study, pitted cones near the Zhurong rover's landing site in southern Utopia Planitia were investigated using recent images and digital elevation models. The results suggest that these pitted cones have morphological characteristics of explosive mud volcanoes. Future in-situ observations are expected to provide more insights into the sediments of the putative northern ocean and the Martian subsurface during the formation of pitted cones.

Summary: This paper summarizes the volcanic activities on different planets, satellites, and dwarf planets in the Solar System, highlighting the significance of volcanic activity in heat-material exchange and planetary evolution. By comparing volcanism on different celestial bodies, it provides valuable insights into planetary habitability, and the origin and evolution of the Solar System.

Summary: Fluvial activities, especially the widely distributed valley networks (VNs), have played important roles in the geologic evolution and early martian climate of Mars. In this study, the morphological and hydrological features of VNs around the Huygens basin in the ancient southern highland are analyzed. The VNs exhibit dendritic to parallel drainage patterns with a simple branching morphology. Two types of VN channels, sapping-related and surface runoff-related, are observed. The age estimations suggest that VN activities started around the Noachian/Hesperian boundary and decayed near the Early/Late Hesperian boundary, with potential short-lived lakes existing during the transition period.

Summary: Exploring the subsurface of Utopia Planitia on Mars through the Zhurong rover's ground-penetrating radar survey has provided detailed images showing a multi-layered structure, suggesting episodic hydraulic flooding sedimentation that filled the basin. While no direct evidence of liquid water was found, the presence of saline ice in the subsurface cannot be ruled out.

Summary: The discovery of ancient lake basins on Mars provides valuable insights into the interactions between hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere, as well as the potential for astrobiology. These lakes may contain evidence of biogenesis and their geology, mineralogy, and geochemistry can help us understand the past climate on Mars. While Martian lakes are important targets for future exploration and sample return, there are still many unanswered questions about the possibility of life in these short-lived lakes and transient warm climates on a cold planet.
