The last decade of landed and orbital exploration reveals abundant hydrated silicate minerals and rarer carbonate minerals that are the signs of water-rock interaction during more habitable periods during Mars early history. I will provide an overview of the geology of some of the most significant sites recording this history and discuss implications for reservoirs of volatile elements on Mars and their cycling.
