Abstract
The significance of water in the geologic evolution of Mars was strikingly revealed by Mariner and Viking spacecraft images. Theoretical and conceptual models of the Martian climate through time range from a brief, early, warm, and wet period followed by protracted desertification to episodic oceans that inundated the northern lowland plains and produced temperate climatic regimes.
