A special issue of Planetary and Space Science seeks to assemble papers describing our current understanding of the climate and planetary processes occurring on Mars during the Amazonian period, the most recent 3 Ga of Martian history which includes the present-day. The papers presented in this special issue will outline recent results that advance our understanding of the Amazonian Climate, as well as reviews of our current understanding of key cycles and trends through the Amazonian that have left geologic and atmospheric records.  If you are currently working on a paper relevant to the Amazonian period of Mars, including present-day results from spacecraft currently or recently operating on Mars, we invite you to submit to the special issue.
