The Martian valley networks and outflow channels provide persuasive evidence that large bodies of groundwater were present on Mars throughout much of its early geologic history. However, little attention was focused on how these volatile reservoirs may have responded to the thermal evolution of the early Martian crust. In this regard, one process that has likely been of critical importance to the subsurface hydrologic evolution of Mars is thermal vapor diffusion. Various aspects of the thermal vapor diffusion process on Mars are discussed.
