A new study published in Nature suggests that the salty water which subsists under Mars' surface could hold enough oxygen to support the kind of life which flourished on Earth billions of years ago.

New research suggests our neighboring world could hide enough oxygen in briny liquid water near its surface to support microbial life, opening up a wealth of potentially habitable regions across ...

Furthermore, water on the Red Planet has only been confirmed in the form of ice or hydrated minerals. So previously, the possibility of salty, oxygen-rich puddles beneath the surface hadn’t been ...

Salty water buried just beneath the Martian surface could have enough dissolved oxygen to support microbes, and perhaps even simple animal life such as sponges in some places, a new study suggests.

An international team analyzed 656 lakes across five continents to provide empirical evidence supporting a long-held theory regarding low deep-water oxygen ... This diagram shows the positive ...

may be funneling warm water into Puget Sound, limiting the natural mixing that occurs in Hood Canal between cooler ocean waters and the warmer, more oxygen-rich surface waters. The hot ...
