Dawson鈥檚 own Richard Soare (Geography) has been fascinated by Mars for many, many years. His fascination is shared by millions, but in his case, he has intimate familiarity with the planet through research and study, and is now an editor of Dynamic Mars: Recent Landscape Evolution on the Red Planet along with Susan J. Conway, Coleman J. Gallagher, Stephen M. Clifford. Dynamic Mars will serve as a state-of-the-art reference on the history and implications of the geology and geomorphology of Mars, with contributions from a wide variety of experts. It is included in Elsevier鈥檚 Earth and Planetary Science portfolio.

Interest in Mars has peaked in recent years, and as recently as a few weeks ago, everyone was talking about the Italian Space Agency鈥檚 purported finding of a lake of liquid water beneath the southern polar ice cap of Mars which had been detected by radar. Dynamic Mars: Recent Landscape Evolution on the Red Planet could not be more timely. The compilation presents the latest observations, interpretations and explanations of geological change at the surface of near-surface of Mars. As the book jacket describes, 鈥渢hese changes raise questions about a decades-old paradigm, formed largely in the aftermath of very coarse Mariner-mission imagery in the 1960s, suggesting that much of the interesting geological activity occurred deep in its past, eons ago.鈥�

The book includes discussions of Mars鈥� ever-changing atmosphere and its impact on the planet鈥檚 surface, the possible presence of water and the identification of a broad suite of agents and processes that are actively revising surface, near-surface landscapes, landforms and features on a local, regional and hemispheric scale.
